Fine Art Prints
- If you are interested in a fine art print of what you see on the website, please email or text me.
- If you have purchased a fine art print and wonder what that means, then you are in the right place.
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:
- The paper is cotton based, or lignin free wood.
- Paper and matting components are acid free.
- It is 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 printer which uses pigment inks. Combined with specialty fine art papers from Hahnemuhle, Moab, or Canon I create an archival print that will last for decades.
Sizes and Prices
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. Pricing includes shipping within the United States.
The table below shows the size of frame that the print is destined for. The nominal size is the ideal size. However, the actual size is 1″ smaller than the opening in the mat (except for 5x7s) so you can mat it without losing any of the image.
| Nominal Size | Actual Size | For Frame | Price for Print |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5×7 | 4.25×6.25 | 8×10 | $10 |
| 8×10 | 7×9 | 11×14 | $25 |
| 11×14 | 10×12 | 16×20 | $45 |
| 16×20 | 15×19 | 20×24 | $65 |
Yes it’s complicated, but here’s what it looks like when all is said and done (yay ABBA!) a nominal 5×7 image printed to 4.25×6.25, then matted to 8×10 and placed in an 8×10 frame.
Pricing posted here is only for the prints. If you would like your print matted and framed, please contact me, I can mat and frame to gallery standards.
