Answers to some frequently asked questions. If yours isn’t here, get in touch!
Screen prints
Our prints are hand produced using the silkscreen printing process. We use this traditional printing method because the quality and density of the ink exceeds standard printing processes. Yes, you caught us evangelising about ink, but it just looks great and if it was good enough for Andy Warhol it’ll do us.
Paper
Each print is hand pulled onto an off white recycled card. The material comprises 100% de-inked post consumer waste, that uses all by-products from production, ensuring a genuine 100% recycling process and minimising landfill waste.
Colour
We try to make our inks a consistent colour, but they are hand mixed and may vary slightly from one print to the next. We have taken care with the photographs to accurately reflect the colours and hopefully the name helps too. We hope when you receive your print that it matches your expectations.
We can print bespoke colours for minimum orders of £120 per design.
Packaging
All our prints are wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and sent in robust recycled cardboard tubes and should reach you in pristine condition. Even the address label has been Bold & Nobled, so if you’re sending it as a gift it will look special.
Delivery
Your order will usually be dispatched within 7 working days of payment. It is extremely rare that a product is out of stock, but if so it can take up to 28 days; we’ll inform you immediately by e-mail if there is a delay.
UK Deliveries
Our standard delivery charge is £5 per order, which includes packaging and postage. Your order will be sent by first class recorded delivery and a signature will be required when you receive your parcel. We understand that it isn’t easy to be at home all the time and are happy to send to an alternative address if it makes life easier for you.
If the package isn’t signed for, it will be returned to your local post office for collection. If it is not collected within one week, it will be returned to us. We are happy to resend items but would ask you to pay for the postage costs of resending the parcel.
International deliveries
We are happy to send our prints around the world. Our packaging and shipping charges are £8.50 for Europe and £10 for everywhere else. These charges are per order; we charge the same for 1 print or 15 prints. For international items we use a trackable service, so items will need to be signed for on arrival.
Please be aware that international deliveries may be subject to local import duties and taxes. These charges are beyond our control, and any extra cost needs to be covered by the customer.
Payment
Payments are processed through PayPal, a secure and well-trusted online payment processor. All major debit and credit cards are accepted and you don’t need to have a paypal account to make the payment. After you have placed your order you will receive e-mail confirmation of the transaction.
If you prefer to pay by cheque that is fine too. Please e-mail your order to hello@boldandnoble.com and make your cheque payable to Bold & Noble, High Trees, Offley Road, Hitchin, Herts, SG5 1XQ.
Framing
Minimum hassle, that is why we have designed our prints to fit into a standard ‘off the shelf’ picture frame. Look out for frames to fit 50cm x 70cm, these are readily available on the high street (from outlets such as habitat, ikea etc… ) at very reasonable prices.
