Prints & Editions
Are Darkened Brush prints limited edition?
Most works are open editions, though select releases may be offered in limited numbers. Limited runs will always be clearly marked in the product description.
Are your prints archival quality?
Yes. Our prints are produced using acid-free fine art paper (230 GSM matte) and museum-grade inks designed to resist fading, ensuring long-lasting clarity and depth.
What kind of paper do you use?
We print on a smooth, neutral-white matte paper with a weight of 230 GSM and a thickness of 9.5 mil, chosen for its fine art quality and ability to capture rich detail.
Will the colors match what I see on my screen?
Slight variations may occur due to screen settings and brightness differences, but each print is professionally calibrated for accurate, balanced color.
Packaging & Handling
How are the prints packaged?
Packaging depends on the size of your order:
- Smaller prints are flat-packed in protective sleeves and shipped in rigid envelopes to prevent bending.
- Larger prints are rolled in acid-free sleeves and shipped in sturdy tubes for safe transit.
- Framed prints are carefully packaged with protective corners, cushioning, and real-glass-safe materials to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
How should I store my print if I’m not framing it right away?
Keep your print in its protective sleeve, stored flat in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity until framing.

Where can I buy the gothic frames seen in your product images?
The ornate gothic frames featured in our product images are used for display and styling purposes only and are not available for purchase.
If you’re seeking a similar look, we recommend exploring secondhand shops, antique markets, or online marketplaces such as Etsy or eBay, where vintage and gothic-style frames are often available.
