BIRD PRINT FAQs
Product Information
We offer each of our unique prints on four different substrates, each with its own distinctive qualities and appeal:
Archival Matt Paper: This option provides a classic, elegant finish with a flat, matte surface that minimizes glare. The archival quality ensures long-lasting prints with excellent colour preservation, making it an ideal choice for fine art reproductions and photographs.
18mm Deep Canvas: Our canvas prints offer a textured, artistic feel that adds depth and character to the image. Mounted on a sturdy 18mm deep frame, these prints bring a gallery-like aesthetic to any space. The canvas texture is particularly suited for artistic images and adds a three-dimensional quality to the print.
Floating Metal: For a modern, sleek look, our floating metal prints are an excellent choice. The image is printed on a metal surface, providing vibrant colors and a luminous finish. These prints appear to ‘float’ off the wall, offering a contemporary edge and a clean, minimalistic appeal.
Jigsaws: Our jigsaw prints offer a unique and interactive experience. Each print is transformed into a high-quality jigsaw puzzle, combining the joy of art with the fun of puzzle assembly. This substrate is perfect for gifts or as a creative way to enjoy artwork in an engaging format.
Each substrate brings out different aspects of our designs, catering to a variety of preferences and decorative styles.

Canvas Print Specifications
Our canvas prints are not only versatile in size but also crafted with exceptional quality. Each print is made using the following specifications:
Material: We use high-quality 18mm pine for the frame of each canvas print. Pine provides a sturdy and durable base, ensuring that your artwork remains taut and well-presented over time.
Gallery Wrapped: Our canvas prints are gallery wrapped, a technique where the canvas is stretched over the pine frame and secured at the back. This method gives a clean, professional, and frameless appearance to the artwork. The image extends around the sides of the frame, offering a sophisticated, three-dimensional effect when viewed from any angle.
Yes, all our canvas prints come ready to hang. Each canvas is equipped with a hanging kit, making it easy for you to display your artwork right out of the box. The hanging kit is designed to ensure a secure and straightforward hanging process, allowing you to enjoy your beautiful canvas print on your walls without any additional setup. Whether you’re decorating your home, office, or gifting it to someone special, our canvas prints are prepared to be effortlessly showcased.
Our metal prints are available in the following sizes:
- A5 Size: 141 x 197 mm (5.55 x 7.76 inches)
- A4 Size: 197 x 283 mm (7.76 x 11.14 inches)
- A3 Size: 283 x 405 mm (11.14 x 15.94 inches)
These sizes offer versatility for different spaces and preferences, ensuring that there is a perfect fit for every need.
Each metal print comes with a special hanging kit that creates a floating effect. This mounting technique allows the print to hang slightly away from the wall, giving it a modern and sophisticated look as if it’s levitating or ‘floating’ off the wall. The hanging system is designed to be easy to use, ensuring a secure and visually appealing display.
Our metal prints are crafted from high-quality aluminium. This material offers several benefits:
- Durability: Aluminium is known for its strength and resilience, ensuring that your print is resistant to warping, moisture, and sunlight.
- Lightweight: Despite its durability, aluminium is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to handle and hang.
- Sleek Finish: The metal surface provides a unique, glossy finish that enhances the vibrancy and depth of colors.
- Modern Aesthetic: The sleek and contemporary look of aluminium is perfect for modern decor styles.
Absolutely! Our metal prints are perfectly suited for outdoor display. Aluminium’s natural resistance to rust and fading makes it ideal for outdoor environments. Whether in a garden, on a patio, or on an exterior wall, these prints maintain their vibrancy and integrity even when exposed to the elements.
Maintaining our metal prints is straightforward and hassle-free. They can be easily cleaned with a simple wipe using a soft, damp cloth. This ensures that your print continues to look pristine without the need for any harsh chemicals or complicated cleaning procedures.

Our jigsaw puzzles are presented alongside an elegant black gift box, with the puzzle’s design printed on the box. This makes them an ideal gift option and also provides a convenient and stylish way to store the puzzle.
In our printing process, we take color management very seriously to ensure that the final print accurately reflects the intended design. Here’s how we manage colors for precision and consistency:
Color Calibration: We regularly calibrate our printers to maintain color accuracy. This involves adjusting our printers to a color reference standard, ensuring that colors in the final print match those in the original design.
High-Quality Inks and Substrates: We use premium inks known for their color fidelity, along with high-grade substrates that accurately render colors. This combination ensures that the colors in our prints are vibrant, true to life, and consistent.
Soft Proofing: Before printing, we conduct a soft proofing process. This involves using calibrated computer monitors to simulate how colors will appear in the final print. It allows us to make any necessary color adjustments before the actual printing process begins.
Colour Profiles: We employ standardised ICC colour profiles that dictate how colours are to be reproduced. These profiles help in translating colours from the design file to the print medium accurately, accounting for the differences in how colours appear on screen versus in print.
Quality Checks: Post-printing, every item goes through a stringent quality check. Our team reviews the colours against the original design to ensure accuracy. If any discrepancies are found, we re-adjust the settings and reprint if necessary.
Through these measures, we aim to deliver prints that not only meet but exceed your expectations in terms of colour accuracy, bringing your chosen designs to life with utmost fidelity and vibrancy. Customer satisfaction remains our top priority, and managing colours accurately is a critical part of that commitment.
