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 striking photo captures the haunting aftermath of a contractor's bankruptcy, as disused fridges and freezers lie piled up in a storage yard in Manchester. Taken on November 24,2004, this image serves as a stark reminder of the consequences when businesses fail to fulfill their responsibilities. With approximately 120,000 appliances left to rot across four sites in the city, it paints a grim picture of neglect and waste. The sheer magnitude of discarded refrigeration units is both shocking and thought-provoking. These once-functional household items now stand abandoned, symbolizing an environmental crisis that demands attention. The photographer's lens skillfully captures the eerie scene with precision and clarity. While no rights clearances or permissions are required for this image's use, its impact remains undiminished. It serves as a powerful visual testament to our society's throwaway culture and highlights the urgent need for responsible disposal practices. In viewing this photograph by Ian Hodgson from Reuters Images, we are compelled to reflect upon our own role in creating such wastelands. Let it serve as a call to action – reminding us all that we must strive towards sustainable solutions and take collective responsibility for preserving our planet for future generations.
