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.

These formats allow you to select a size that fits your space without altering the original composition.

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.
