RPS Panel Service

“The Royal Photographic Society Distinctions are recognised
as the most prestigious in the photographic world.”

As photographers and members of the RPS ourselves, we fully appreciate this. Having both applied for RPS distinctions, we know how much time, preparation and attention to detail goes into a successful panel, which is why we have created a specific service to print, mount and label your RPS submission.

For your information, the different levels of distinction, plus the package that we provide for each one, are detailed below:

How We Produce Your Prints

For all of the finer details in how we produce your fine art giclée prints, please see Fine Art Giclée Printing

We now also offer a premium printing service on professional quality photo papers and have this as an option for your distinction panel. Please see the price tables below. More information can be found about these papers on our Large Format Printing page.

For more information about our conservation mountboard, and how we mount your prints, please see Mount Options

Pricing

The following table outlines our RPS Service packages, what’s included, and an inclusive price.

Prices have been based on 2 print sizes, approximately A4 size (12″ x 8″) or approximately A3 size (16″ x 12″). Other custom sizes can be accommodated, please let us know what you would like to do and we can provide you with a quote.

We can mount your prints using 1.4mm thick conservation mountboard (standard), or a thicker 2.4mm conservation mountboard (premium).

Prices include mounts sized at 50cm x 40cm. This is an ideal size as it is the maximum size used in most camera club print competitions and exhibitions and fits perfectly in most print boxes. Should you prefer a different size, just let us know the details and we can work out a quote for you.

If you would like to have your prints mounted with a black core mountboard, this will be £1 extra per mount (1.4mm thick only).

Example ARPS Panel

Danny (our framer!) successfully passed his ARPS in March 2015 with a Natural History panel of UK birds.
This panel was printed and mounted at Gallery Thirty One using  Hahnemühle Baryta FB 350gsm paper and mounted with Larson Juhl Glacier 2.4mm conservation mountboard.

The panel of prints is kept at the Gallery and is available for viewing at any time.
If you’re thinking of applying for an RPS distinction, Danny will be happy to show you his panel and talk you through the paper and mountboard options he chose and show you all the options we can provide.
