Print Types, Sizing, and Finishing 

The Print Type items, below, provide details to assist you in specifying and preparing your order. Each Print Type section opens to reveal product information, with notes on  size limitations, substrates, and finishing options.

 

A few points to keep in mind when specifying images:

  • Aspect ratio: Most, but not all, of our images follow a 3:2 (horizontal) or 2:3 (vertical) aspect ratio. This equates to 20 x 30, 24 x 36, 30 x 60 (or equivalent) full frame (no crop) print sizes. 

  • Most images can be cropped to fit any aspect ratio and finished size, with the exception of Collector Prints.

  • The term "no custom sizes" in the Prints Types section, below, means that the particular print product is available in various standard sizes up to the maximum listed. Print types without this designation are not limited in this way and can be custom sized.

  • Do you work with a fabricator or lab? No problem. We are happy to work with you and them, whether we provide prints only, fully finished prints, or digital (licensed) files for them to print. Whatever works best for you. 

​

We know there is a lot of information in the print descriptions below. The good news is we're always ready and eager to help you realize the print display you seek. Just reach out to us using the contact form, or send us an email to info@aiellostudios.com, and we'll be in touch right away.

  • Thin Wraps
    Beautifully Finished Float Mount Prints – No Frame Needed! First we make a print on your choice of Lustre Paper, Metallic Paper or Fine Art Canvas material. We then over-laminate the image with a soft Satin or Glossy Laminate. The resulting product is then wrapped on Gatorboard, with or without a foam layer (Softop) in between the print and the board for a striking effect. Finally, we apply a spacer (Float Mounting Block) to the back of the ThinWrap, which allows the image to be hung and appear to float from the wall. ThinWraps can also be ordered as designer Wall Clusters and Splits, or with an optional Easel Stand for tabletop display. Sizes: 40 Choices, From 5x5" to 24x36" Display Options: Float Mounting Block, Easel Stand, Clusters & Splits Papers: Canvas, Metallic, & Lustre Surfaces Laminates: Soft Satin or Glossy Mounting Substrate: Flat Onto Gatorfoam or Padded Softop
  • Wood Prints
    Maple Wood Prints are printed directly on to 1/2" thick maple surfaced wood board, for a warm and natural-looking print that is also eco-friendly. The grain and other characteristics of the wood shows through the light and white areas of the image for a natural warm tone and vintage feel. We can also print a white ink underlay on the wood to make the true colors of your image pop. Both of these options allow the beautiful wood texture to show on the surface of your print. Each wood print is unique and no two prints will look precisely alike. Sizes: Any Size From 4x6" to 48x96", Including Custom Sizes Finishes: Natural or White Display Options: Full Bleed, or Choice of 8 Border Sizes Hanging Options: Keyhole or Wood Float Mount with Optional Cleat
