The Atollo Edit
Why Melbourne buys its art from a Collingwood printshop
Seven things people tell us after their first print arrives.
Most art prints sold online are made the same way: a low-resolution file, thin poster paper, a frame that ships flat from a factory overseas. It looks fine on a phone screen. It looks like a poster on your wall.
Atollo started in 2022 because Dasan Connors-Hart wanted the opposite: museum-grade prints and real timber frames, made in Melbourne, at a price you could actually justify. Here is what customers keep saying four years on.
1. It doesn't look like a poster
Every Atollo print is giclée printed on 240gsm archival paper with 12-colour pigment inks. That is the same process galleries use for edition prints. Colours stay true for 80+ years. The difference is obvious the moment you unwrap it.
2. The frame is solid Tasmanian oak, not MDF
Frames are cut and assembled in Melbourne from FSC-certified Tasmanian oak, in natural timber, matte black or matte white, with real glass glazing. Your print arrives framed, wired and ready to hang. No trip to the framer, no extra $150.

3. It's made this week, not last year
Nothing sits in a warehouse. Your print is made to order in our Melbourne studio and leaves within three business days. Every piece is checked by hand before it ships.
4. Free shipping, tracked and insured
Standard shipping is free across Australia and New Zealand. It arrives tracked and insured, packed so it can't move. If it turns up less than perfect, we reprint it. Thirty days, no argument.
“I ordered a Bourdain for the kitchen and honestly expected a poster. It came framed in oak, heavier than I thought, and it looks like something from a gallery.”
