Paper Art Prints Australia | Find Your Favourite Print

Choose paper art prints with the surface and presentation that suit your artwork and your room. At Canvas Art Prints Australia, explore your favourite designs, compare the available paper finishes, and select an unframed or framed option where offered.

Choose your paper finish

Paper art prints offer a different presentation from textured canvas. The paper surface, frame and optional mount-board border each contribute to the finished display. Check your chosen artwork’s product page for the combinations available.

Fine art matte paper

Fine art paper has a velvet-matte printed surface with a soft, low-sheen appearance. Choose this option if you prefer a restrained surface that lets the image’s colours, lines and tonal detail take the focus.

Satin photo paper

Satin photo paper has a smooth, semi-gloss surface. Where available, it offers an alternative for customers who prefer a little sheen. Satin is different from a full-gloss finish, so select the paper type according to the appearance you enjoy.

Consider your display lighting as well as the paper finish. A matte print behind protective glazing can still show reflections from windows and lights.

Framed or unframed paper art prints

Choose an unframed print if you want to arrange your own framing or coordinate with frames you already own. Before ordering, check the listed print dimensions against your frame and mount opening rather than relying on the frame’s outer measurements.

For a completed display, select a framed paper option where available. Selected artworks offer black or white frames, with or without a mount board. Framed paper prints include protective plexiglass and hanging hardware; unframed prints require separate framing before display.

Explore our framed prints collection if choosing a finished frame is your starting point. Confirm the paper type, frame colour and size in the individual product selectors before ordering.

Mount board or no mount board?

A mount board creates a border between the printed image and the frame, giving the composition additional visual space. A finish without a mount board keeps the image closer to the frame for a more compact presentation.

In the product options, “with Matt” means a mount-board border. It does not refer to the paper’s matte surface. You can therefore choose your paper finish and mount-board preference as separate decisions, subject to the options listed for the artwork.

Find the right size for your display

Measure the available wall space and consider the print’s proportions alongside nearby furniture. Mark out your proposed arrangement with removable painter’s tape to judge its scale from your usual viewing position.

• For one statement piece: choose dimensions that give the artwork a clear presence while leaving space around the frame.
• For a coordinated pair: compare the orientation, dimensions and framing of both pieces before ordering.
• For a gallery wall: plan the full arrangement, including frame widths and the gaps between prints.
• For an existing frame: check the required paper size and visible image opening, especially when a mount board is involved.

Check whether the product’s measurements describe the print, visible image or overall framed size. If this is unclear, contact us to confirm the dimensions before purchasing.

Build a display around the artwork you love

Start with a subject or colour palette you enjoy, then choose the presentation. A consistent frame colour can connect different artworks, while a repeated colour within the images can bring together a more varied arrangement.

For a quieter display, consider artwork with similar background tones. For greater contrast, combine different compositions while keeping one shared element, such as the frame finish or mount-board treatment.

How are paper prints different from canvas?

Paper prints have a matte or satin paper surface and are typically displayed in a suitable frame. Canvas has a woven surface and may be supplied rolled, stretched or fitted with a floating frame. A glazed paper frame and a canvas floating frame are different products, so check both the print type and finish when making your selection.
