Print on Demand is the first system of its kind in the world, offering National Gallery visitors the opportunity to order a reproduction of any work in the collection.
(Please note loans to the Collection as denoted by the letter 'L' prefixing their catalogue number are NOT available through this service.)
The system uses high-resolution digital images made directly from the paintings, rather than the photographic transparencies used for conventional posters.
The reproductions are printed using a Hewlett Packard 5500ps DesignJet printer. Prints are made with UV-stable pigments on a durable paper and have a lightfast expectancy of 70 years if not exposed to extreme conditions.
All prints are made on a semi-gloss paper, which gives a close match to the surface appearance of varnished painting.
Print on Demand reproductions are colour matched as far as possible to the original painting. It is possible prints may look different in varying light conditions. Images are captured using direct lighting sources which may need to be replicated when hanging reproductions of darker paintings.
There are four sizes of print available, A4 - £10; A3 - £20; A2 - £25 and A1 - £40
A limited amount of prints are also available at A0 size for £75
