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.

Buzzing with Drama - The Bumblebee's Tiny Unwanted Guest!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by I. R. Beames, we witness a wild bumblebee caught in the midst of an unexpected adventure! With its vibrant yellow and black stripes, the bumblebee appears to be enjoying a delightful feast on a bed of colorful flowers. However, upon closer inspection, we discover an uninvited guest clinging onto its fuzzy body - a parasitic mite! This peculiar scene showcases nature's intricate web of relationships as even the tiniest creatures have their own stories to tell. While our buzzing hero busily collects pollen and nectar for its hive, it unknowingly provides shelter and sustenance for this opportunistic parasite. The contrast between beauty and danger is strikingly evident in this photograph. It reminds us that life is full of surprises; even amidst seemingly idyllic moments, challenges may arise unexpectedly. As viewers marvel at the bee's resilience despite carrying such an unwelcome hitchhiker, one cannot help but ponder the delicate balance within ecosystems. This image serves as a gentle reminder that every creature has its role to play – whether they are pollinators or parasites. So next time you spot a busy bumblebee among flowers, take a moment to appreciate their tireless work while also acknowledging the hidden dramas unfolding beneath those tiny wings!
