FAQS
Are the photographs printed from baseline digital files?
No, all our Getty Images collection are printed directly from the original negatives and transparencies. Each is individually tested and printed in the Getty Archive darkroom. Images are printed on professional grade resin paper or as Colour C-Type Prints, which compared to a standard inkjet print, offer a truer representation of the original photograph, giving each photographic print the highest quality of detail and clarity.
Do you provide authentication?
All Getty Images photographs are accompanied with a certificate of authenticity and embossed with Getty Archive or Estate Stamp. The COA will be affixed onto the rear of your frame.
Where are the photographs printed?
All Getty Images photographs are printed in the Getty Archive Darkroom in the UK using traditional methods such as Darkroom hand printing, C-type, Digital Fibre and Resin.
How does the sizing on the photographs work?
All sizing information provided relates to the size of the paper, not the image size. The sizes are based on standard photographic paper sizes - resulting in the image size being a maximum of the particular paper size, including a minimum ½ inch border on the paper. Actual image size will vary.
Can you tell me what size my photograph will be once framed?
As the prints are produced from an array of film formats, using various vintage camera types, with a mix of archival film sizes and digital images to create the prints we can only give an estimated guide on the actual framed size.
