Lustre Standard Photographic Prints
The perfect choice to maximise archival qualities, quality and price.
The Lustre Standard Photographic Prints are printed on Hahnemühle Photo Luster paper, a highly regarded media within the photographic world, with only slightly less archival longevity than our world class Lustre Premium Photo Rag Pearl paper.
The lustre surface of the print avoids a high gloss reflection, and the bright white paper allows the colours and blacks to shine. The tones and colours all render perfectly, giving a uniquely traditional feel to the images.
These lustre prints, along with all Hahnemühle papers, would be expected to last decades without fading or losing their original colours. If you prefer acid free paper, we recommend our Premium Lustre prints.
Choose Lustre Standard Photographic Prints if you prefer a non-matt, pearl effect appearance to your photography, without too much in the way of reflections. These are wonderful premium weight photos, favoured by professional photographers looking for a bright white paper, whilst avoiding too many reflections.

Printing Questions
Can you explain the border options?
The options are:
1. With White Borders: Your uncropped image is printed with a small white border surrounding the image (the image size and the border size combined will match the paper size ordered).
2. No Borders: Your image fills the paper size chosen. In some cases this may involve slight cropping in order to fill the paper.
What file formats do you prefer?
- Either JPEG (at high quality) or TIFF.
- Colour profiles: AdobeRGB, or sRGB.
- Ideally At 300ppi (pixels per inch)
How large should my file be?
In all cases, please send the largest file you have. This helps not just with printing, but with any retouching that you require. If you are confident editing images, it can help to crop them to the correct size for printing (but don't worry too much).
Can you provide custom sizes?
Yes. Please let us know the size you require and we can send you a price for payment online.
What is a gicleé print?
Gicleé prints are premium quality photographic prints, produced to the highest standards expected by photographers, collectors and galleries, using pigment inks and archival papers.
How long is printing and despatch?
Turnaround is typically a couple of days, as all prints are produced after manually checking and preparing images. You should receive them several days after that.
Will my print last a lifetime?
When using our archival pigment inks, and gallery certified premium papers, you can expect 200+ years before any fading takes place, if stored correctly.
Do you frame prints?
As experts in printing, we concentrate on producing perfect prints. As such, we don't presently offer a framing service.
