Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by the talented Damian Grady, showcases the imposing presence of Didcot Power Station in Oxfordshire.

Didcot A Power Station stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Its colossal size dominates the landscape, serving as a testament to human engineering prowess and our reliance on electricity generation. This power station has been an integral part of Oxfordshire's history for decades, providing energy to countless homes and businesses.
The intricate details visible from above highlight the complexity of this industrial marvel. Towers rise high into the air while multiple chimneys release plumes of smoke that blend with clouds overhead. The symmetrical layout reveals careful planning and precision in its construction.
