Framing Tips

  • +Use the frame without a mat for the cleanest look — the print fills the full frame edge to edge.
  • +Black or natural wood frames complement the warm paper tone best.
  • +For UV protection, choose frames with acrylic or UV glass — especially in sunlit rooms.
  • +Hang at eye level (center of the piece at roughly 57 inches from the floor — the gallery standard).

A Note on Color

German Etching paper has a warm white tone that gives each piece a subtle warmth you won't see on screen. This is intentional — the prints feel richer and more tactile in person than they appear digitally.
