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
In this photo print, a Royal Air Force Merlin HC3 helicopter from 78 Squadron based at RAF Benson makes a dramatic landing in the vast expanse of the Californian Desert. The helicopter is seen amidst swirling sand and dust, showcasing the intense training taking place during Exercise Merlin Vortex. This four-month-long mission was specifically designed to prepare the Merlin Helicopter Force for their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan later in the year. As part of their rigorous training regimen, these skilled pilots and crew members ventured across the Atlantic to test their mettle in unfamiliar terrain. The image captures both the power and precision of this support helicopter as it gracefully touches down on Californian soil. The desert backdrop serves as a stark reminder of the challenging conditions that await them in Afghanistan. As SAC James Stier skillfully captured this moment, we are reminded of the dedication and professionalism exhibited by our armed forces. This photograph not only showcases their unwavering commitment but also highlights how international collaborations enable military personnel to train effectively across borders. Through exercises like Merlin Vortex, our brave servicemen and women gain invaluable experience necessary for successful missions abroad. This print stands as a testament to their unwavering determination and readiness to face any challenge that lies ahead.
