Railway poster print

Upload your own train photo and we print it as a vintage-style railway poster, or exactly as you took it, with free UK delivery. A bare sheet, no frame, in five sizes up to 70x100 cm. It is the format that covers a wall for the least fuss, which is why it ends up in club rooms, layout rooms and behind exhibition stands.

What it physically is

One sheet of 250 gsm uncoated off-white archival paper, printed edge to edge and trimmed. Uncoated means no gloss and no glare, so it doesn't fight strip lighting in a loft any more than it does a lamp in a sitting room. There is no frame and no backing board: it arrives as a print, and what you do with it is up to you.

Unframed, it pins or tapes straight to a shed or workshop wall.

How big it goes

Five options, starting at a sheet of office paper and running up to a metre tall. A2 is what most people mean when they say a print for the wall. The top two hold a room from across it, and they're also the two that want real resolution behind them, which the size guide works out against your own file.

Where this format earns its place

Rooms change. Club rooms get rearranged, layouts get extended into the next alcove, and an exhibition stand has to go back in a car on Sunday evening, so a picture that commits to one wall and one fixing is the wrong picture for any of them. A poster can be blu-tacked, clipped, pinned or dropped into a standard frame two years later, and not one of those decisions has to be made today.

It is also the sensible answer to a big picture on a small budget. The paper is the same stock the framed prints use. You are not buying a lesser print; you are buying it without the moulding.

Framing it yourself

Three of the five sizes are A sizes, so off-the-shelf frames fit without anything being cut to size. If you would rather we did it, the framed print comes ready to hang at A3 and A2. For something with a bit more presence and no glass at all, canvas is the other direction to go, and the format pages lay out the rest.

Questions, answered

Can I put the poster in a frame I already have?
Yes, if it is an A size: the A4, A3 and A2 sheets fit ordinary shop frames with nothing trimmed. For 50x70 and 70x100 cm, a framer is the easier route.
Is the paper glossy?
No. The sheet is uncoated and off-white, with no shine to catch a lamp or a window. That matt surface suits restyled artwork and older photographs especially well.
How large can a phone photograph go as a poster?
Most recent phones produce a file that reaches A3 without trouble and A2 more often than not. The size guide lists the pixels each size needs, and at upload any size your file cannot carry is withdrawn before you choose.
