PRINT INFORMATION
All images are currently printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Professional paper. This paper allows for rich, accurate color and nice deep blacks, smooth tonal distribution, and maximum print life. It is traditional light sensitive photo paper that is exposed using an LED light source, then processed in RA-4 chemistry. Because it is real photo paper, prints have the look and feel of traditional photographs, while giving me ultimate control of the accuracy and outcome of the print. They are absolutely stunning! I have gone to great lengths to reproduce the look of my prints for internet display (see FAQ's for more thoughts on this subject), but the actual prints exceed customer expectations time and time again.
All images are available as a "print only" or "matted print." Matted prints are recommended since I can sign on the mat and not on the print itself (for archival reasons), and are available with either a -museum white- or -deep black- 100% cotton mat. Cotton (also called "rag mat") is trusted by museums around the world since it's naturally acid & lignin free. I will be offering framed prints in the near future, although I've found that most people prefer the "print only" or "matted print" for one simple reason: choosing their own frame. All prints are currently open edition and hand signed.
CARING FOR YOUR PRINTS
Nothing is worse than buying a "fine art" print and watching it degrade because it was improperly handled or displayed, or worse, printed on less than archival paper (inks are currently not an issue with my prints since they are made with traditional photo papers). All photographic prints change over time, but a few simple precautions will ensure that your prints last a lifetime! Prints should be displayed under glass or acrylic as soon as possible, or left in the original plastic shipping sleeve until it is framed. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, and if handling them make sure you are wearing cotton gloves or at least have clean hands. Remember, this applies to the person framing your print as well!
