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 print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cardiff in 1996, specifically St Mary Street. The image captures a snapshot of the city's vibrant energy, but it also sheds light on a pressing issue that plagued urban areas during that time - pollution caused by heavy traffic. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the challenges faced by cities worldwide as they grappled with increasing congestion and its detrimental effects on air quality. The dense flow of vehicles captured in this photograph serves as a stark reminder of how our reliance on cars can contribute to environmental degradation. Fast forward to today, where significant efforts have been made to transform St Mary Street and tackle these issues head-on. Last week marked the completion of an extensive renovation project aimed at revitalizing this iconic street in Cardiff's heart. As we compare this picture from 1996 with present-day scenes, it becomes evident how far we've come in terms of urban development and sustainability. The transformation is not only visible through improved infrastructure but also reflects a shift towards greener transportation options and enhanced public spaces. This evolution highlights the commitment cities like Cardiff have made towards creating healthier environments for their residents while preserving their historical charm. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, let us appreciate both the progress achieved over time and acknowledge the ongoing responsibility we hold in shaping more sustainable cities for future generations.
