The Framio Guide
Preparing and Caring for Your Piece
Timeless words deserve careful presentation.
This guide outlines how to prepare, display, and preserve your Framio work so that its proportions, spacing, and typographic structure remain intact.
Each piece follows a fixed architecture — balanced hierarchy, generous margins, and quiet white space. These are not stylistic choices, but structural ones.
How the work is printed and placed determines how it is experienced.

Printing Recommendations
For best results, printing should be handled with care.
We recommend:
-
A professional print studio
-
A trusted online print service
-
A high-quality home printer capable of heavy paper
Paper selection matters.
Use:
-
Heavy matte or fine art paper (200–300 gsm)
Avoid:
-
Glossy finishes
Matte surfaces preserve the quiet character of the work and prevent visual distraction.
Preserving the Layout
Each file includes margin allowances and trimming guides.
When printing:
-
Print at 100% scale
-
Do not select “fit to page”
-
Ensure trimming guides remain outside the visible frame
The surrounding white space is not excess.
It is part of the structure.
Framed Prints
What Is Included
Each framed work is produced and assembled prior to delivery.
Your piece includes:
-
Archival fine art print
-
Solid wood frame
-
Protective glass front
-
Installed hanging hardware
Available finishes:
-
Black
-
White
-
Natural wood
Each element is selected to preserve the proportions and tone of the work.
Hanging Your Piece
Placement determines how the work is read.
For balanced viewing:
-
Position the center of the artwork at approximately 145–155 cm from the floor
-
Avoid placing the frame too high above furniture
-
Allow surrounding wall space
Framio pieces are designed to introduce stillness.
They require space to do so.
Preserving the Work
With proper care, each piece will retain its clarity over time.
We recommend:
-
Avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
-
Cleaning the frame with a soft, dry cloth
-
Avoiding chemical cleaners on glass surfaces
Archival materials are selected for longevity, but environment determines preservation.
A Note on Typography
Every Framio work follows a consistent typographic system:
-
Classical serif type
-
Balanced vertical hierarchy
-
Generous margin structure
-
Quiet attribution placement
This discipline ensures each piece reads not as decoration,
but as a preserved page — set apart, and given space.
