Nuve Print Guide

A friendly, plain‑English guide to get beautiful, calm prints from your Nuve files — at home, at a local shop, or via a pro lab.

How Its works

  • Pick your size

    (A‑series). Our files are print‑ready.

  • Choose a Paper & Print

    Paper (matte > glossy, heavy > flimsy).

    Print at 300 DPI (240–300 is fine). Let the lab handle color if unsure.

  • Frame

    Frame with a simple border or mat. Hang center ~145–155 cm from the floor

What you get with Nuve files

  • Format: JPG or TIFF (as listed on the product page), print‑ready.
  • Color space: sRGB (the safest, most lab‑friendly).
  • Sizing: A‑series aspect (A4–A1; some Premium also A0 and panoramic).
  • Resolution: Designed for crisp 300 DPI output at the native size.

If you’re ever unsure, send us your order number + target size. We’ll confirm fitness

Who We Serve

Art lovers on a budget, renters and homeowners, small studios and cafés, villa owners and hosts, and interior designers who need coordinated sets (pairs, triptychs) that match a theme—at scale and without the gallery price tag.

1) Pick your size

Choose the wall first, then the size. A quick feel:

  • A4 (21×29.7 cm): Desks, shelves, small nooks; great in pairs.
  • A3 (29.7×42 cm): Hallways, sideboards, layered gallery walls.
  • A2 (42×59.4 cm): Dining corners, above consoles; strong single or pair.
  • A1 (59.4×84.1 cm): Living rooms, bedrooms; the most versatile “statement” size.
  • A0 (84.1×118.9 cm): Big walls, lobbies; one‑and‑done focal piece.

Simple rule: one big print almost always beats many small ones. Center at 145–155 cm from the floor.

2) Choose your paper

  • Matte fine‑art (cotton rag, 300+ gsm): velvety, no glare, quietly premium.
  • Matte photo (200–260 gsm): budget‑friendly, still low glare and elegant.
  • Semi‑gloss / lustre: a touch of sheen, crisp for geometry; use sparingly for soft colorfields.

Nuve pick: matte > glossy. Calm rooms, calmer reflections.

3) Prepare the file (it’s already print‑ready)

Format: JPG/TIFF as provided.

Color space: sRGB (lab‑friendly).

DPI: Aim for 300 DPI at the chosen size (240–300 is perfectly fine).

No edits needed: avoid heavy contrast/saturation tweaks.

4) Where to print

  • Local photo/art lab: fast, you can see paper options. Bring a USB or upload.
  • Trusted online lab: pro results shipped to you; choose matte fine‑art.
  • Home printer: A4/A3 can look lovely with good paper and inks.

Tip: If you’re short on time, print A2 locally on matte photo and frame simply. High impact, low friction.

5) Frame & finish

  • Frames: black, white, or natural maple. Keep it simple.
  • Mat (passe‑partout): a 3–7 cm border elevates the piece and protects edges.
  • Float mount: beautiful with textured papers.
  • Glazing: UV‑acrylic is light and safe; reduces glare.

Hanging: center of the artwork at 145–155 cm; align tops across a wall for a calm line.

6) Quick size guide by room

Entry/hallway: A3 or A2 sets the tone without crowding.

Over sofa (2–2.2 m wide): A1, or a diptych of A2s.

Above bed (queen/king): A1 centered; a triptych of A3s if you prefer rhythm.

Dining area: A1; if wall is long, A0 or an A2 diptych.

Work nook: A3 vertical or A2 horizontal to anchor the desk.

Large wall / stair: A0 or an A1 triptych.

7) Cropping & aspect ratios

Most Nuve files use a 3:4 ratio (A‑series sizes). Many ready‑made frames are 3:2.

Prefer mats: The cleanest fix is a mat (passe‑partout) that adapts the frame without cutting into the art.

If you must crop: you can trim a 3:4 image to 3:2. Keep the subject centered, leave breathing room, and avoid trimming critical edges.

Quality check: after any crop, confirm your pixel count still supports your target size at 300 DPI (fine at 240 DPI). Don’t stretch to fit.

Save correctly: export once as TIFF (no compression) or high‑quality JPG (90–100) in sRGB. Repeated re‑saves can degrade quality.

8) Common pitfalls (and easy fixes)

Print looks darker than screen: screens are bright; ask the lab to print a touch brighter or “match paper white.”

Colors feel off: choose sRGB at upload; ask the lab to keep auto‑corrections off.

Cropping issues: use a mat to adapt your frame; don’t crop the art too tight.

9) Care

Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity. Dust the frame with a soft, dry cloth. For acrylic glazing, use a non‑ammonia cleaner.

Why this matters

Atmosphere shapes behavior. The right color field can slow a fast mind. A clean line can anchor a room. Art won’t fix your day, but it can set a better baseline for it.
