ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS – 

Prints

A. Rest assured that we have created very strong packaging and it is very unlikely that your print will arrive damaged. We send hundreds of prints out each year and we have only 1 or 2 instances of breakages per year. If anything does go awry, please be assured that it is our responsibility to make sure it arrives in perfect condition to your door.

A. Yes, we can send your print overseas. We have excellent packaging, and we use a very good courier UPS, who will ensure the parcel is fully tracked and will arrive safely to your chosen address.

A. If you are struggling to visualise the sizes of the prints, we always recommend looking at the outside framed size and creating yourself a mock-up either out of cardboard box or old newspapers. Hold this against the chosen wall to give yourself an idea of what it will look like in your home.

A. Yes, each print is signed and numbered by the artist Robert E Fuller.

A. The number of your print is shown as a fraction. The top number (or numerator) is the number that your print is. The bottom number (or denominator) is the total number of prints produced.

A. We have a range of 8 different frames available for you to choose from, click on the chevrons under framing options, which is to the right of the main image, here you’ll get the name of the moulding, what the cost of framed print will be in this moulding selection and you’ll get a visual representation of what the print will look like in that frame.

A. We use very high-quality inks on all our limited-edition prints. So, we offer an expected lifetime guarantee on all our prints of 50 years, under normal lighting conditions. If you hang your print in a particularly bright location, this will reduce the expected lifetime guarantee. If you have any problems with fading, do get in touch with us and we will be happy to replace your print for you.

A. In the image size tab and in the framing tab, you will be able to see the exact measurements of your chosen picture. If you would like the print in a different size, we may be able to arrange this for you. Contact us at mail@robertefuller.com to discuss our bespoke printing options.

A. Yes, the cost shown is for a completely framed picture which is ready to hang on your wall, unless you select a mounted or a loose print, which will require you to get the pictures framed elsewhere.

A. Your print has hangers and string on the back of the picture, ready for you to hang onto the wall.

A. A picture hook, single screw or nail in the wall is usually adequate for A5 sized and A4 sized prints. For A3, Large and Extra Large prints a picture hook would not be adequately strong. You might like to consider putting two screws into the wall, with a spacing of about 5-10cm depending on your picture size to make sure that the fixings are strong enough to hold the picture.
