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.

These little critters are not your average caterpillars - they're like tiny rock stars with their vibrant colors and oh-so-hairy bodies! It seems these young larvae have chosen this spot to shed their old skin and embrace their new selves. It's like witnessing an insect version of Extreme Makeover: Caterpillar Edition!
