Our Mediums

Each Iron & Ivory piece is produced to order. This measured approach avoids excess inventory, reduces unnecessary production, and allows a work to begin its physical life only after it has been chosen for a particular space.

The medium changes how the work is encountered—quietly tactile on paper, grounded by wood, precise in metal, or luminous in acrylic. The image remains the same; its presence does not.

Archival Matte Paper

An unframed presentation for collectors who want to choose the final relationship between artwork, frame, and room. The natural-white, uncoated surface softens reflection and preserves the work’s material restraint.

  • Finishing: Matte, uncoated, natural white (off-white) 
  • Acid-Free: With a pH above 7, the artwork is protected against yellowing
  • Weight: Substantial 250 gsm (110 lb) with a thickness of 0.29 mm (11.4 mils)
  • Sustainable: FSC-certified paper, supporting responsible forestry and environmental stewardship.
  • Printed to order and shipped ready for framing.

Wood-Framed Archival Print

The warmth and visible grain of responsibly sourced oak or ash give the work a grounded, tactile edge. Each frame is naturally distinct and arrives ready to hang.

  • Ready-to-hang: Includes hanging kit, ready to hang directly on the wall.
  • Material: Responsibly sourced oak and ash wood.
  • Color: Natural black
  • Measurements: 20mm (0.79") thick and wide, wider than the classic 14mm (0.55") frame.
  • Paper Weight: 200 gsm (80 lb), thickness: 0.22 mm (8.7 mils), durable and long-lasting.
  • Paper Finishing: Matte, smooth, uncoated finish.
  • Protection: Shatterproof plexiglass protects the artwork.
  • Sustainable Paper: FSC-certified materials or equivalent.

Metal-Framed Archival Print

A narrow aluminum profile gives the work a precise architectural boundary without competing for attention. Paired with natural-white archival paper, it creates a restrained balance of structure and softness.

  • Simple assembly is required
  • Material: Durable aluminum.
  • Measurements: Approximately 20mm (0.8") thick and 10mm (0.4") wide.
  • Paper Weight: 250 gsm (110 lb), thickness: 0.29 mm (11.4 mils), ideal for fine art.
  • Paper Finishing: Matte, uncoated, natural white, archival museum-quality paper.
  • Protection: Shatterproof plexiglass protects the artwork.
  • Sustainable Paper: FSC-certified materials or equivalent.

Acrylic Print

Our most luminous presentation. The polished surface heightens depth, contrast, and reflected light, giving the image a sharper and more immediate presence.

  • Material: 4mm (0.15") acrylic for a sleek, vibrant, and durable finish.
  • Design: Straight-cut corners for a modern look. Transparent backgrounds default to white for optimal presentation.
  • Hanging Kit: Includes hardware, screws, and screw holes at each corner (14mm (0.55") from the edge, with an 8mm (0.31") diameter hole and 15mm (0.6") screw head).
