Home printer
Fine for small sizes (A4 and under) and test prints. Use photo paper and pick “Photo / Best quality” in the driver.
Watch out: “Fit to page” shrinks the image and adds margins.
The full process
What happens after you buy?
What we sell is a file — you (or the lab you choose) produce the print that goes on the wall. This page walks the whole path with nothing hidden: where the file is, how to download it, where to print it and what to watch out for.
Nothing ships
Digital file — download right after payment.
300 DPI · sRGB
Print resolution and standard colour space.

Personal use
Resale and commercial reproduction not included.
Step by step
-
1
Buy
Complete checkout here or in our Etsy shop. Nothing ships — delivery is digital.
-
2
Download
Your download link opens as soon as payment is confirmed. The link is valid for 30 days and allows 5 downloads.
-
3
Check the file
Files are 300 DPI in the sRGB colour space. Decide which ratio you want before printing.
-
4
Choose where to print
Home printer, a local print shop, or an online print service. Whichever you pick, ask them to print WITHOUT scaling.
-
5
Choose the paper
Matte fine-art paper adds depth; glossy boosts contrast. For posters we suggest 200 gsm or heavier.
-

Frame it
Because you print at a standard ratio, off-the-shelf frames fit. Going with a mat? Buy one size up.
Where do you download it?
We sell through two channels and delivery differs:
If you bought here
- A download button appears on the thank-you page as soon as payment clears.
- The same link is emailed with your order.
- With an account, it stays under “My orders” forever.
- The link lasts 30 days and allows 5 downloads. If it expires we reissue it — just ask.
If you bought on Etsy
- Etsy uses its own delivery page: Purchases → Downloads.
- Etsy downloads do not expire; the files stay in your account.
- Downloading in the mobile app can be flaky — use a desktop browser.
Where should you print it?
There are three routes. None is objectively “right” — it depends on your budget and the finish you want. We do not push a specific vendor; instead, here are the criteria that work wherever you go.
Local print shop
Take the file on a USB stick or email it. Most economical for large sizes, and you can inspect the result before paying.
The one sentence to say: “Do not scale — print at 100%.”
Online fine-art lab
Giclée / fine-art labs use pigment inks and archival paper. Highest colour fidelity and longevity.
Order the same ratio as the file; a different ratio means cropping.
Whoever prints it, ask for this
- Print at 100% — “fit to page” OFF.
- sRGB colour profile (the files are already sRGB).
- Borderless, or a deliberate white border — pick one.
- Paper: matte fine-art 200–300 gsm (depth) or gloss (contrast).
- Going large? Ask for an A4 test print first.
Colour expectations
Screens EMIT light; paper REFLECTS it. No print matches a screen exactly — dark tones in particular come out a little deeper and flatter. That is physics, not a defect. Our work leans dark and gold, so we say it up front: choose matte fine-art paper if you want the subtle shadow gradations to survive.
Framing
Because you print at standard ratios, off-the-shelf frames fit. Using a mat board? Buy the frame one size up: the print sits inside the mat, the frame gives the outer size. Want no glare? Ask for anti-reflective glazing — on dark art the difference is dramatic.
Frequently asked
Will anything ship to me?
No. This is a digital product — you download the file yourself after payment. No physical parcel is sent.
How long is my download link valid?
The link is valid for 30 days and allows 5 downloads. If it expires, message us and we will reissue it.
What if I lose the file?
If you checked out with an account, the same link is always available under “My orders”.
What size can I print?
Any ratio listed on the product page, up to the largest size that ratio allows. A 300 DPI file stays sharp at standard poster sizes for its ratio.
The colours look different from my screen — why?
Screens emit light; paper reflects it. Prints always read slightly darker. This is normal — you can ask your print service for a proof.
Can I use it commercially?
No. Your purchase is for personal use: your own wall, a gift, home or office decor. Resale, redistribution and print-on-product are not included.
