Useful Facts & Information

Welcome

Thank you for visiting our “Useful Facts & Information” page, which will tell you just about everything you need to know about purchasing wall art images on IrishPhotoArt.com.   

O’Doule Wall Art – Genuine Traditional Photographs

Each Irish Photo Art Photograph is hand printed, using the time-tested traditional silver gelatine print method with traditional silver halide photographic paper, wet processed and machine finished, as opposed to digital printing, i.e., ink sprayed onto paper. We only use one of Ireland’s most professional photographic labs, with decades of experience at the highest level and the skillset of a team of real artisan gallery printers. When you purchase an Irish Photo Art Image, you will receive a gallery quality hand printed photograph that you can display and enjoy for generations.

Selecting your Photographic Wall Art could not be easier, with an extensive variety of subjects and galleries to choose from. All of our galleries are regularly updated with new Wall Art Images, so drop in often as there is always something new plus some seasonal specials including promotional complimentary prints on our ‘News’ page.

In order to make space in our galleries for new images, some images may be archived.  However, if you have an interest in any image that has been archived, just get in touch with us via our ‘Communication Page’ and that image will be available to you.

Shipping & Packaging

Irish Photo Art Images are supplied as photographic prints only. Because our customers individual home & office/business décor styles vary, the mounting, matting & framing is at your discretion and is not included with your photograph.  For shipping, our photographic prints are loosely rolled in tissue and safely secured in heavy duty cardboard mailing tubes. We ship using insured trackable international post services with recorded delivery.

Delivery to the USA, Canada, South America, and Australia, usually takes between 14 - 21 days from the date of order. Orders shipping within Europe take about 7 – 10 days.

Irish Photo Art is not responsible for any local taxes or import tariffs, which remain the sole responsibility of the resident customer in each country. We always email our customers with estimated delivery times when orders leave our shipping department.

All Irish Photo Art image prices are quoted in US Dollars and include international shipping costs.

Care of your Photograph

Your Wall Art Photograph will last for many years, with a little attention and awareness of the potential damaging environmental elements. When you take your Wall Art Photograph to be framed, your framer will, as a first step, mount your photograph on to an acid free gallery quality mounting board. This provides a certain amount of protection from physical damage. A custom bevel cut, acid free gallery quality mat, is then placed on top, covering the 2-3 inches around the outside perimeters of the wall art. It is this mat that ensures the finishing glass never comes into contact with the surface of the photograph. The back of the mounted photograph is then covered with the frame back, usually 1/8” MDF material, which is sealed to the frame, in order to protect the photograph against dust, condensation and environmental dampness. The front of the photograph is really only susceptible to damage from light (mainly direct sunlight). The hidden danger, is the UV in the sun’s rays, which will damage and fade all colour pigments. So, we recommend that you always display your Wall Art in a spot where the sun never reaches.

Guarantee

Please pay close attention when selecting, ordering & paying for your Irish Photo Art Photograph. If an error is made placing an order in respect to an incorrect size, the photograph cannot be returned or refunded. All available sizes for each Irish Photo Art image are clearly displayed in inches.

• The image size refers to the size of the image subject, while the overall size refers to the size of the complete photograph including a 2 or a 3 inch border all around (for matting purposes). Irish Photo Art supplies photographs this way, in order to ensure the integrity of the edge of the photograph ie. in case of possible handling damage after it leaves our shipping department – this ensures the main subject image section always remains in perfect condition.
• Each photograph is signed on the bottom right by the photographer.
• Each piece is titled below the image line, which can be left exposed or covered by the matt, as desired. There will not be a digital mark or copyright markings on the subject area of the photograph.
• Our copyright line and SKU number are printed discreetly below the image line on either lower corners and may or may not be covered over by the framing mat.
• The actual image size will vary just slightly (usually no more than a half inch) to allow for artistic composition and/or consistent matt spacing etc. Those size variations will show up in the image galleries and between oblong and upright compositions etc.
