   Postage & packing

POSTAGE UK DELIVERY £4 PER PRINT (unless stated otherwise)

For normal orders postage is added to the shopping cart automatically. The cost is calculated from the size of your purchase and the destination country. Print orders will normally be processed within 7 days.

Prints are dispatched by first class mail or courier within Europe or by international airmail as appropriate. This should mean that you should receive your order, subject to any customs delays, within 10 working days.

I do not currently ship to Ukraine, Indonesia, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Egypt, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Morocco, Vietnam or Israel.

Non UK delivery of canvas prints
Canvas print orders with a delivery address outside the United Kingdom will be sent unstretched and rolled in a tube. As such they are much better protected. It is cheaper to get the canvas stretched by your local framer than pay for crating and shipping of fragile flat artwork.

PACKAGING
All items are shipped in either large diameter postal tubes or flat in sturdy packages to ensure your order arrives undamaged.
Each print is individually wrapped in acid-free tissue paper. Your
print will arrive well-packaged ready for framing by your local frame shop.

INSURANCE
The prints will not necessarily be insured whilst in transit. You could check whether you are covered on your own insurance. Some policies might cover goods in transit as standard.

CUSTOMS
Customs and import duties are not included. The customer is responsible for the payment of surcharges. Any customs or import duties are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you as I have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be. Since customs policies vary from country to country you may want to contact your local customs office for further information.

RUSH ORDERING
Rush orders can be processed subject to prior commitments. These are by special request and may cost extra. Email or phone to see if an urgent delivery can be made.

   What is a "Giclée Print"

You might ask, "What is a Giclée print?"
Giclée is a French term meaning "spraying of ink." Printing directly from information obtained from the original painting. Digital printers can spray microscopic drops of color onto fine art papers or canvases. Displaying the full color spectrum, these artworks have vibrant colors and a velvety texture. The prints are published are on Somerset Velvet watercolour paper (330 grams). This method can achieve tremendous detail. Traditional "Litho printing" typically uses a resolution of 300 dots of pigment per inch, whereas Giclee Iris printers can achieve 1800dpi.

   How to handle and frame your prints

PAPER PRINTS
Clearly because it is on paper your Giclée print is very delicate and must not be exposed to moisture. Handle the print as carefully as you would an original watercolour taking special care to avoid any contact with water or mist. Clean and dry your hands thoroughly before touching it.

Ideally you should frame your print using acid free, conservation mount board and ultraviolet filtered glazing. For the preservation of your print please hang it in an area that is free from strong light and humidity. You might like to use reflection reduction glass if you are hanging opposite a window or bright lights.

If your giclée print has been handled properly you should enjoy many years of pleasurable viewing.

CANVAS PRINTS
Block canvas prints are designed to be hung either framed or unframed. Board-backed canvas prints are designed for framing. Neither type of print requires glazing. For the preservation of your print please hang it in an area that is free from strong light and humidity.
