About the Prints

Poster Print
 

 Thank you for taking the time to see and learn about my photography. To order a Fine Art Print just follow the instruction below. I primarily use Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy, or Epson Ultra Premium Luster as my standard but also use Harman and  Ilford as well. . All my papers are ideal for framing and for long lasting, fine art quality prints. The glossy Epson paper has an ultra-smooth and bright white finish and the Epson luster has a nice soft quality with less reflection. If you have a preference, or the prints will be mounted next to each other, please send me an email and let me know. The matting offered is a double window (except as noted in the 8.9in x 13.3in image) white and frames are brown and come with standard non-fancy glass. The framed option are always provided with a backing cover and hanging hardware. Canvas framed prints, when offered, are fully backed but, of course, have no mats or glass. You may also just buy the basic canvas for a do-it-yourself project. Canvas Prints look excellent as a gallery wrap or with the framing option and will make a beautiful addition to your home or office. All art prints are custom, giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) prints created by me. These are produced on an Epson large format printers using archival inks. I sign the mats in pencil so keep that in mind when ordering. I also sign the face of a canvas prints but the basic unmounted prints are not signed to prevent damage to the print.

About the inks

The printing is accomplished using the Epson UltaChrome K3 eight cartridge system. The inks have long lasting print permanence characteristics that provide light fastness ratings of many decades. The inks produce excellent color and black and white prints.

About the paper

I primarily use Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy, or Epson Ultra Premium Luster as my standard but other types are available.. All my papers are ideal for framing and for long lasting, fine art quality prints. The glossy paper has an ultra-smooth and bright white finish and the luster has a nice soft quality with less reflection. If you have a preference, or the prints will be mounted next to each, please send me an email and let me know. Canvas print are made using Epson Exhibition Grade Canvas and are very durable.

About Mounting

Prints may be ordered mounted or unmounted to suit your preference. If mounted I will dry mount them using foam core board to the exact size of the mat.

About mats and framing

 I can provide simple white double mats and frames for many of the standard display print sizes. Custom mats and frames are not available at this time but are readily available at a retail framing store. I expect additional sizes to be available in the near future, so please email me if you have any questions.
