**Album cover art** is often considered to be one of the "extincted" fields in modern graphics design. In times when digital copies are cheaper and quicker to get, album covers have somehow lost their importance as less and less customers actually buy CDs and LPs in the stores. That's a pity because album covers can be extremely expressive and convey the message of the album in a number of creative ways. This post attempts to prove exactly that.

Joy Division Unknown Pleasures poster print record cover art album black and white wall decor New Order 1970s music fan gift This print is available in either original primary black or juxtaposed primary white. Created, printed and shipped directly by us in the USA, all prints arrive ready to frame. Each image we sell is the product of numerous hours polishing the original and is not simply pulled off the internet. We print in high resolution from high res scans or actual photographs we have collected. We use a state of the art commercial Canon Wide Format gicleé printer, not a home laser jet printer; this is how we can offer and directly ship large sizes. We print on the highest quality photographic paper available-Epson 260 gsm-using 12-color archival inks that are fade resistant for 100+ years. Our Epson Professional Premium semi-matte photo paper has a satin lustre-not too matte, not too glossy, just right. We include a 1/10 inch white border to prevent the lip of the frame from covering part of the image. We can omit or expand border by request. Watermark will not be on the print you receive. Custom sizing or other image requests welcome. ORDER READY TIME & SHIPPING All orders are printed to order and ship within 2-5 Business days via USPS ground advantage (fka first class) mail. Expedited processing and faster priority shipping class options are available at checkout. 4x6 through 8x10 sizes are shipped in rigid reinforced mailing envelopes. All other sizes are shipped in reinforced shipping tubes. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED We produce the highest quality professional photography print reproductions available on the market and pride ourselves on 5 star product and customer service. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, just reach out on Etsy message so we can make it right! PRO TIP In printing, like so many other services, a lot of factors determine the quality of the reproduction. How thick (or flimsy) the paper is, the resolution of the original photograph, the expertise of the individual processor/printer and the time spent polishing the image to perfection prior to printing. Before you purchase a print from just any vendor, look to see if they use a third party printing service/drop shipper, or do they control the entire process by producing and shipping the print themselves? Do they use a commercial printer, or do they simply print on a commonplace laser printer like you would find at Office Max or in a home? What paper do they use? Note: Digital downloads are typically just pulled from the internet with no work done to improve their appearance. Both of us at AntiquePhotoArchive are perfectionistic artistic technicians and have decades of professional experience both in printing and in the interior and graphic design fields. We now have the privilege of operating our business out of our home. Not only are we professional, we are nice people with big hearts.
