ephemera
/ɪˈfɛm(ə)r(ə)l,ɪˈfiːm(ə)r(ə)l/ Learn to pronounce | noun | plural noun: ephemera; noun: ephemerum Collectable items that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity.

All of these products are designed in house by our amazing team, and printed using a new printing method for Atkins. These prints are what we would class as ‘digital press’ prints. The colourant is delivered electro-statically on to a gorgeous environmentally sound paper. However, the print quality is very different from our usual standard.

The colour gamut is much narrower than any of our other print types on offer. The Ephemera prints result in a simpler, less subtle but still very good print.

These products are fireworks, intended to be somewhat short lived, while still being wildly loved. That being said, they are quite durable but not as UV resistant as our other products. We expect they will still look good in 5-10 years.
