Wonderfulworks for yourwall Whether you’re looking for a canvas print, boxed frame or maybe even a special, coloured mount, Colorworld Imaging has everything you need to make your image truly stand out

Colorworld Imaging has been producing framed prints for several decades now, meaning the team has an immense amount of experience in choosing mouldings and mount colours. The team’s collective experience also means a great amount of knowledge has been developed on how to produce

a high-quality framed print across the range of mouldings offered by Colorworld Imaging. Business development manager Mike Brydon tells us more. What should people consider when deciding which product is best for them? There are a number of factors you should identify that will help you choose the right product. Ask questions such as: where will the frame be hung in the house or business? What type of style is the customer looking for? Modern, contemporary or traditional? Also, keep inmind the size that is required. A small frame on a huge wall can be very easily lost and can lose itswow factor, while a traditional mahogany frame with gold mount board wouldn’t work very well in a modern house with white walls, so it’s important to choose the right product. Here at Colorworld Imaging, we are more than happy to offer our suggestions if customers would like a sounding board to bounce ideas off. Would you recommend certain products, paper types or frames for specific genres? Over the years, the print media used has developed significantly, whichmeans the customer has a greater choice. Fine-art papers can have a dramatic effect on an image, so it’s important to make the right choice. Rolling landscapes look fantastic on fine-art paper, as do stunning portraits and artwork. Colorworld Imaging also offers metallic paper from Kodak, which looks amazing for most images.

Which wall products are the most popular? We find that different products appeal to different markets, ie we sell more canvas prints in the schools’ market, while framed prints sell more in the portrait and landscapemarket. Our relationships with our key suppliers like Lion and Larson-Juhl (formally Aqadia) give us access to a vast range of mouldings that, even if we don’t stock them, we can obtain the mouldings at a customers’ request. Do you have anything new in the wall product range? Colorworld Imaging has been developing a new manufacturing procedure that allows us to create frame mount board in any colour. Although there are a lot of different mount board colours available, sometimes a customer is looking for an exact match to something. Simply tell us the hex colour code and we will produce your mount board to that exact colour and, for a limited time, there is no additional charge for this service.
