About our framed prints...

Our sturdy black wood frame contains a soft woodgrain pattern and includes a real glass face -- not plexiglass. Arrives ready-to-hang, with hardware attached. Choose from two sizes: 9x11-inch frame with 8x10-inch print, or 12x15-inch frame with 11x14-inch print. Our prints consist of heavy-stock, semi-gloss paper for the best possible combination of color vibrancy and durability. The brilliant colors we achieve are due in large part to the unique inks we use.
