Production
All images are printed on the Epson SureColor P7000 using fine art papers from Epson, Red River, and, in some instances, Hahnemühle—materials widely regarded for their consistency and museum-quality performance. Papers may be cold press (textured) or hot press (smooth) at the artist’s discretion or upon request. Prints are also available on soft-gloss papers, such as Epson Exhibition Fiber, reminiscent of traditional silver halide prints.
Prints for Framing
These are unmounted fine art prints intended for traditional framing.
All prints are archival pigment prints produced on acid-free, 100% cotton rag papers. Under normal display conditions, these materials are rated for 70+ years of longevity, meeting recognized archival standards for fine art presentation.
Prints are supplied with a white border to allow for flexible matting and framing. Custom sizes are available upon request to fit existing frame and mat combinations, provided the image proportions are maintained.
Prints Mounted on Cradled Birch Panels
For a contemporary, ready-to-hang presentation without the need for framing, prints are available mounted on 1.5" deep cradled birch panels.
Each print is produced as an archival pigment print on fine art paper, then carefully mounted to a prepared birch surface using acid-free materials. The mounted print is finished with multiple coats of a protective lacquer approved by Epson and Wilhelm Imaging Research, enhancing durability and resistance to moisture, fading, and handling.
Each panel is individually prepared and finished through a multi-step process:
• Birch panels are prepared, drilled for flush wall mounting, and sealed
• Surfaces are treated with gesso and hand-finished along the edges
• Prints are precisely mounted using archival adhesive
• Edges are refined by hand and the surface is sealed with protective coatings
The result is a presentation that emphasizes both the image and the craftsmanship behind it. A range of standard sizes is available, with custom sizing upon request.
Metal (Chromaluxe) Prints
Select images are also available as Chromaluxe metal prints, where the image is infused directly into coated aluminum for exceptional color depth, clarity, and durability. This process produces a sleek, contemporary presentation with a luminous, high-definition finish. Metal prints are offered in a range of finishes and mounting options.
Choosing a Presentation
Paper prints offer a classic, refined presentation suited for framing; birch panels provide a warm, handcrafted presence without glass; and metal prints create a bold, contemporary statement with heightened vibrancy and depth.
