About our Prints
Production without compromise
It takes more than just pixels, fine art-paper and high-quality solid acrylic to make an Andy Mason print.
Each large-format artwork draws on Andy’s diverse influences and vivid imagination for its provenance – IT, astrophysics, travel in Asia and Australasia, film, and many other life experiences have played their part.
Honest, straight-from-the-heart art
This is honest, straight-from-the-heart-and-imagination-art realised through unstinting pursuit of different, distinctive printmaking processes.
Each image evolves from ideas that take weeks, months or even years to develop. And that’s before the painstaking digital artworking that takes as long as it takes for Andy to be satisfied. He’s a perfectionist, so it could be a while; only when he’s completely happy does the image go to a specialist production house for the first of several processes that create each limited edition print.
Seeing really is believing with these limited edition prints. Viewing them online only hints at what the production process achieves – each is typically created at a resolution 5,525% higher than a regular online image before being printed at 300dpi.
Fade-free for up to 75 years
Andy doesn’t use any old print shop either. His large-format printers are Giclée-compliant (a fine art digital print standard) craftspeople who know how to create a superior colour-corrected, colour-managed print. A print that will give pleasure for decades because it uses pigment inks – the kind that stay fade-free for up to 75 years under display conditions (unlike regular dye ink prints that might make 25 years).
So why does Andy mount his prints on cast acrylic rather than canvas? It’s his attention to detail again: years of experimentation show that cast acrylic outperforms traditional canvas for image reproduction, clarity, surface finish and visual depth. By the way, this isn’t the extruded acrylic used in high-volume manufacturing; Andy’s acrylic resin is poured and moulded for fewer optical distortions.
Andy won’t cut corners for your print
Most production facilities don’t use cast acrylic because it costs more to work with, especially with large-size artworks. Andy simply wants you to enjoy the best possible quality in your artwork – without compromises.
Especially as each print will be a certified, genuine limited edition, with no repeat runs, regardless of the demand.
