Grubby Fingers Limited Edition prints are detailed, accurate, high quality and long lasting. The attention to detail in the illustrations and the quality of the print materials mean you will have an image of aviation history to enjoy for years to come. They make outstanding and appreciated aviation gifts for enthusiasts and pilots. Grubby Fingers aircraft prints are printed in-house by the artist. Each print is checked for any blemishes or printing faults prior to despatch.

The ArtworkEach Grubby Fingers profile is meticulously researched. Many reference images are collected and, where feasible, an actual prototype is studied. Aviation historians, manufacturers, operators and relevant organizations are often consulted. All gathered information is compiled and compared against written references to verify details. Many hours of work are done before the first line is drawn and each part of the drawing is checked against reference photos as it progresses.

Here is an example of the level of detail you can expect from your Grubby Fingers print:

About the Prints

The PrinterThe prints are run in-house on a professional high-end Canon digital photo imager, the type used for museum and gallery grade fine art reproduction.

The PaperMOAB Lasal Photo Luster 270, manufactured in the USA, is used for all Grubby Fingers prints. It has been selected specifically to complement the technical nature of the profiles. It has a nice heavy 270 gsm weight and a light surface sheen. It’s rated for archival use and it is acid free. When properly handled and framed, the manufacturer assures it will last for 100 years or more.

The InksAll Grubby Fingers prints are produced on a Canon professional grade inkjet printer using pigment based Lucia inks. These inks have wonderfully strong colours and give excellent colour depth. Again, with proper handling and framing, the inks have a 100 year life, according to the manufacturer.

Packing and DespatchEach print is supplied in its own plastic sleeve. Retail purchases are supplied with a protective cardboard backing. Website orders are shipped rolled in mailing tubes via standard Australia Post surface mail, unless otherwise requested. Shipping costs will vary depending on priority and distance. The paper stock has excellent memory and it springs back to flat very quickly once it is out of the tube. Despatch is within 14 days of a print being ordered, making delivery within 21 days.

Framing and Care of your Grubby Fingers PrintAs with any artwork, quality framing is essential to the longevity of your print. A proper acid-free matt surround should be used to keep the glass out of contact with the surface of the print. The frame should also be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture and dust. It is strongly suggested you get your print professionally framed so you can get maximum enjoyment out of it for years to come.

Important note: If a clip-frame or similar is used, where the glass sits in direct contact with the print, moisture will gather and significantly reduce the appearance and life of your print. For this reason, such framing will void any warranty on the print.

PurchaseGrubby Fingers prints are available through retail outlets and through the website at http:www.grubby-fingers-aircraft-illustration.com where PayPal, credit card and direct electronic transfers are all accepted.
