Fine Art Prints
What is a fine art print? There are almost as many answers as there are fine art photographers. So, what does it mean to me?
- The print is a carefully crafted image that would grace any wall.
- Production of the print meets certain technical criteria:
- Paper is cotton based, or lignin free wood.
- Paper and matting components are acid free
- Paper is heavy weight, typically from 190-325 gsm (grams per square meter)
- Printed with pigment ink for longevity
Production
I make my own prints in order to ensure that what comes out of the printer is exactly what I intended. Typically I will print an image several times before I’m satisfied. Printing is done in my studio on a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 pigment printer. Combined with fine art papers, I create an archival print that will last for decades.
I use paper exclusively from the fine art lines of Moab, Hahenmuhle, and Canon. Fine art papers are selected according to the needs of the image as part of the creative process.
Size and Price
Frames and mats come in many sizes, but several stand out as universally available. The standard sizes that I supply are detailed in the table below. These sizes have been chosen because it easy for you to find matting and framing in these standard sizes.
The table below provides the Mat/Frame size as a reference – it’s the size of frame or mat that the print is destined for. Image size is the size of the image printed on the paper. It’s 0.5″ smaller than the opening in the mat so you will not lose any of the image due to being cropped by the mat.
| Matted To | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 5×7 | $10 | 8×10 | $15 |
| 8×10 | $25 | 11×14 | $35 |
| 11×14 | $45 | 16×20 | $55 |
| 16×20 | $55 | 20×24 | $65 |
