A work by Bassem, made to order in the material you choose: an art print on 285 gsm textured watercolor paper (shipped unframed), a gallery-wrapped canvas, or a framed print. Canvas and framed pieces arrive ready to hang.

The art print is made on textured watercolor paper and ships unframed. The canvas is printed on matte canvas and stretched around a 0.75 in deep wood frame, with mirrored edges so none of the image is lost. The framed print is printed on 200 gsm matte paper and framed in black, walnut or white wood behind a clear acrylic cover. Every product page links to the same piece in the other two materials.

The art print uses a heavy 285 gsm textured watercolor matte paper with archival inks. Its soft texture and matte surface keep reflections low, so the work reads well under a lamp or near a window. The framed print uses a 200 gsm matte paper behind acrylic.

Every piece is offered in the sizes that suit its shape. Sizes are given in inches, width by height.

Measure the wall and the furniture below it. Over a sofa, a bed or a sideboard, a piece about two thirds of the furniture’s width usually looks settled. On a wall of its own, larger is almost always better than smaller. A quick test: cut paper to the size you are considering and tape it to the wall for a day. If you are still unsure, write to us with the wall’s width and we will suggest a size.

We prepare every file carefully, but every screen shows color a little differently, and paper is not a screen. The print may look slightly softer or warmer than your display, and it will change with the light in your room through the day. That is the nature of a print on fine art paper, not a fault.

The framed version does: black, walnut or white wood with a clear acrylic cover, ready to hang. The art print ships unframed, so you can choose a frame that suits your room. The canvas needs no frame; it arrives stretched and ready to hang.

If your art print arrives rolled, unroll it on a clean, dry table, image side up. Lay a clean sheet of paper over it and weigh down the corners with a few books. Leave it for a day or two and it will relax flat. Never iron it, and never roll it back the other way to straighten it.

Hold it by the edges with clean, dry hands, or with cotton gloves. Fine art paper marks easily from fingertips, and a crease cannot be undone.

Two good choices:

• Frame without a mat: a frame with the same inside size as the print, for a clean, modern look.
• Frame with a mat: a frame one step larger, with a mat whose window is about 1/2 inch smaller than the print in each direction, so the mat overlaps the print by about 1/4 inch on every side. For example, a 16 x 20 print sits well in a 20 x 24 frame with a mat. A mat gives the work room to breathe and keeps the paper off the glazing.

Ready-made frames are easy to find in the US for the common sizes (12 x 16, 16 x 20, 18 x 24, 24 x 36). Square, long and very large sizes often need a custom frame. Outside the US, most ready-made frames are metric: our inch sizes rarely match them exactly, so measure the frame’s inside size first, or use a mat cut to fit.

• Choose UV-filtering glass or acrylic, especially for a sunny room.
• Ask your framer for conservation-grade mat and backing board.
• Have the print hinged at the top edge with archival tape rather than glued down flat, so the paper can move a little with the seasons.
• Hang it away from direct sun, radiators and steamy rooms.
