ORIGEN vs Generic Poster Shops
Both promise art for your walls. But museum-quality framed prints and mass-produced posters are worlds apart. We compared materials, craftsmanship, and real customer results.

Museum-quality framed prints
The online art print market has exploded. Dozens of sites promise beautiful wall art at low prices. But when that poster arrives rolled in a cardboard tube, you realize you still need to find a frame, get it mounted, and hope it doesn't fade in a year.
ORIGEN takes a different approach: curated artwork from real artists, printed on museum-grade paper, professionally framed in real wood, and shipped ready to hang. No trips to the frame shop. No disappointment.
We compared both approaches objectively. Here's what we found.

Material comparison
The hidden cost of cheap posters
A $25 poster sounds like a deal until it arrives rolled, wrinkled, and unprotected. Now you need to find a frame shop, wait 1-2 weeks for framing, pay $80-150 for custom framing, then pick it up and hang it yourself.
Total time: 2-3 weeks · Total cost: $150+
And it still fades in a few years.
What customers say about switching
I used to buy posters and spend more on framing than the art itself. ORIGEN changed that completely. Beautiful print, real wood frame, hung on my wall the day it arrived.
The quality difference is night and day. My old Society6 prints faded within two years. When my ORIGEN print arrived, I could immediately tell it was built to last. Worth every penny.
I was skeptical about buying art online. But the presentation, the packaging, the quality of the frame. It felt like receiving something from a proper gallery, not an Amazon warehouse.
