1. Matted & Mounted Paper Prints
I do all my own printing, matting, mounting, and framing. This allows creative control over the full process of capture to finished artwork.
Prints are created using archival, pigment-based ink printed onto high-quality, archival paper that does not use optical brightening agents.
All matting and mounting materials are archival (acid-free mats, tape, etc.); even the ink used to sign is acid-free and archival.
2. Dye-Infused Metal Prints
The dye-infused metal prints are made to my specification by a specialty printing company who has invented a new process of photo printing. I proof and approve all prints before a final product is produced.
The process used is similar to dye-transfer; a custom dye is infused into gel. Each color used in the print is then applied in a layer to form a gel matrix (blue, then green, then red, for example). This gel matrix is then heat-pressed onto aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a hard coating. The prints are waterproof and scratch-resistant. The prints are archival and are rated for a life of 150+ years. The prints arrive ready-to-hang; no additional framing or mounting materials are needed.
The combination of custom dyes and layered printing provides both vivid color and a 3-dimensional quality to prints. I like the effect on my work, and think you will as well.
3. Framed Paper Prints
Made to the same standards as option 1, plus a high-quality wood frame. Frame will not include glass if shipping.
