Fine Art Printing Process
I’ve had images printed in many different ways, from standing in the darkroom and watching the image magically appear to trusting a few incredible specialists to print them. These days I find myself looking at two types of prints: inkjet on cotton rag papers and the super slick plexi mont images. Both have exceptional qualities, so I truly can’t decide which I prefer, which is why I offer prints in both styles. Sales tax and Shipping within the US (Hawaii and Alaska excluded) is included with every print purchase. Purchases outside of the US will incur an added cost (import tax and shipping fees), but we’ll figure those fees out together. Every image is limited to a total of 50 prints regardless of size or style. If 49 images are sold at one size there will only be one left to be printed regardless of the size. Each of these images may appear in calendars, books or a limited 8x10 print portfolio (edition size limited to 150.) I also reserve the right to print three Artist Proof images. Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery of the inkjet prints and 3-4 weeks for the Lumachrome prints.
Lumachrome® prints are one of my favorite ways to share my images. This archival process features vivid, brilliant colors and incredible depth and dimensionality. If you chose a B&W acrylic print you’ll find that the image maintains its spectacular tonality. These prints will last over 120 years. We use TruLife® abrasion resistant acrylic which drastically reduces reflections and glares, and blocks UV Rays up to 99%. Your image comes ready to hang with a recessed float frame mounted on the rear. Your piece of art will appear to 'float' on your wall with a contemporary presentation.
Hahnemühle Photo Rag® is one of the world’s most popular papers for FineArt inkjet printing. The white cotton artist’s paper, with its characteristic, wonderfully soft feel, boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each artwork a three-dimensional appearance and impressive pictorial depth. Combined with the matt premium inkjet coating, this paper produces outstanding prints that feature brilliant colours, deep blacks, striking contrasts and perfect reproduction of detail. This acid- and lignin-free classic meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and is specially designed for FineArt applications.
