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
Miner Jack Buxton, a symbol of resilience and dedication, stares into the camera lens with a mix of pride and uncertainty etched on his weathered face. This print captures the end of an era as Burradon Colliery, once bustling with life and industry, succumbs to closure in November 1975. After dedicating an impressive 47 years to this coal mining colliery, Miner Jack finds himself facing redundancy amidst a changing landscape. The image tells a story beyond words - the coal-streaked helmet perched atop his head speaks volumes about the arduous nature of his work. The backdrop reveals other miners going about their daily tasks; comrades who have become family over decades spent deep underground. Each wrinkle on Miner Jack's face represents countless hours spent in darkness and danger for the sake of providing energy to fuel a nation. This photograph serves as both a tribute and reminder - honoring the hardworking men like Miner Jack who sacrificed their health and safety for our collective progress. It also serves as a stark reminder that industries evolve, leaving behind legacies that are often forgotten or overlooked. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by NCJ, let us remember those who labored tirelessly beneath our feet to power our communities. Let us reflect on how far we've come since then while acknowledging that progress comes at great cost.
