Fine art paper print

Museum-grade archival pigment inks on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a heavy cotton paper with a soft sheen and deep blacks. The quiet option — for a frame you already own, or a framer you trust. Ships flat at 12 × 8 and rolled in a tube above that; a rolled print relaxes flat in a day or two.

Allow about 10 business days for production and delivery.

ChromaLuxe metal · ready to hang

Dyes infused directly into a coated aluminum panel. The most luminous version of a night sky we sell — scratch-, fade-, and water-resistant, with a float mount that holds the panel three-quarters of an inch off the wall. White glossy by default; semi-gloss or matte on request.

Allow about 14 business days for production and delivery.

TruLife acrylic · ready to hang

The print is face-mounted beneath optical-grade, anti-glare TruLife acrylic. Details seem to sit inside the glass; light falling across the face makes the piece look lit from within. Our statement piece, and the one to choose for the wall that gets the light. Float-mounted, ready to hang.

Allow about 18 business days for production and delivery.

Framed acrylic, linen liner · ready to hang

The TruLife acrylic piece finished in a handcrafted hardwood frame with a linen liner — a 4-inch Tabacchino scoop in dark ash or cigar leaf with a 2-inch linen liner, which adds about 12 inches to each dimension of the print. At 24 × 16 and 20 × 20 the frame is the slimmer 2.75-inch Tabacchino scoop without a liner (the liner starts at 30 × 20). The other profiles are on the Framing page.

Allow about 28 business days for production and delivery.
