Commitment to quality

Everything we craft at SUN Editions is guided by what best serves the artwork.

As an extension of our Sydney and Melbourne galleries, you can feel confident buying prints online knowing that decisions around presentation are always made in close collaboration with the artist to best display their intention, guided by our longstanding knowledge of photography and fine art printing.

GALLERY GRADE PRINTING

Our limited edition, archival pigment prints are executed in a completely colour managed environment to the highest possible production standards. We collaborate with our artists and use their preferred media to produce a fine art print of the highest quality that completely represents their vision.

We stock and use a wide range of fine art papers across the Canson, Canon, Ilford and Hahnemühle brands.

SUN Editions works are printed in-house on Canon imagePROGRAF 12 colour large format 44 and 60” printers using the established expertise of SUN Print.

Signed and numbered

Our wide variety of limited edition art prints are supplied signed (where border allows) or with a signed certificate of authenticity (where framed full bleed) to guarantee your investment.

FRAMING

The framing style displayed as standard adheres to the artist's intention.

Our moulding options are:

  • Matte White (Smooth Gesso finish)
  • Matte Black (Smooth Gesso finish)
  • Tasmanian Oak – Natural (Wax finish)
  • Tasmanian Oak – Walnut Stain (a mid scale stain revealing natural wood grain)
  • Tasmanian Oak – Espresso Stain (a rich dark brown stain approaching black – subtle wood grain).


Moulding profiles:

  • Small: 32mm H x 19mm W (31mm / 5mm rebate)
  • Standard / Large: 43mm H x 28mm W (33mm / 9mm rebate)
  • Extra Large: 54mm H x 30mm W (49mm / 8mm rebate)


Customisation is available by enquiry.

Our oak options contain a natural variation in grain and tone between frames, inherited from the original unique tree (see image below for indicative range across pink to warm).

Images are dry mounted to Gatorboard - a light-weight foamboard core with a bow-resistant melamine surface designed for strength and stability.

These are spaced back from the image and box framed in materials responsibly sourced to PEFC and FSC certified standards. SUN Editions uses acid-free wrapping and ecologically responsible bubble wrap in shipping.

Standard glazing uses 70 UV protective gallery grade acrylic for maximum clarity and resilience.

Premium options at 99 per cent UV protection and anti-reflective glass are available by enquiry.
