The Process

Each is custom-printed, carefully inspected, and signed by me after you place your order. Doing so allows me to exert complete control over the process to ensure that your print looks exactly as it should. I have extremely demanding standards for the quality of my work and you may rest assured that the appearance of any print you purchase from me will meet your satisfaction and will resist fading throughout your lifetime. In fact, I guarantee it. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, send it back and I will make you a replacement free of charge or refund your money according to your preference.

My prints are made with pigment-based ink, a process sometimes referred to as "giclee." The K3 inkset of my Epson 9800 wide format printer produces beautiful color or black white prints that are estimated to last approximately 100 years before noticeable fading occurs according to independent testing conducted by Henry Wilhelm Research Institute. All images are printed on Crane Museo Silver Rag, a heavyweight and beautiful semi-gloss paper, using a custom printer/paper profile that ensures a near-perfect match between the image on my monitor and the appearance of the final print. Each print is sprayed with two coats of PremierArt PrintShield, which provides extra protection from water, fingerprints, scratches, and fading due to UV light. This process yields prints of such beauty and durability that protecting them with traditional framing materials such as glass, acrylic, or lamination may be considered optional.

Framing

While I regularly mat and frame the prints I display in galleries and art fairs, I do not currently offer traditional framing services for standard online orders due to production and shipping considerations. I may consider changing this policy in special cases; please contact me for more information and to discuss framing and pricing options if interested. I highly recommend that my unframed prints be archivally framed at your local custom framing shop.

Shipping

Print orders are normally shipped within two weeks of your date of purchase. All prints are covered with an archival protective sheet, rolled, placed inside a 4" heavy-duty cardboard shipping tube, and shipped (and insured) Via FedEx or UPS. In my experience, this is the best means of preventing damage to the print. I should emphasize that Crane Museo Silver Rag paper is quite rigid and resistant to the creasing that can occur when thinner papers are rolled. I offer this method of shipping free of charge to customers in the United States. If you have a different shipping preference, let me know and I will try to accommodate your needs.

A Note on Pricing

What exactly are you paying for when purchasing a print from me? Probably a lot more than you think! Creating a stunning photographic print requires far more than snapping a picture and pushing a button on one's printer. A brief summary of the steps that go into making a typical print is as follows:

1. Wake before dawn, drive to the Medicine Bow National Forest, hike for an hour and await morning's first light
2. Capture an image on 4x5 film with my large format camera
3. Send the exposed film to PhotoCraft in Boulder, Colorado for processing
4. Wet mount and scan the image on my Optronics ColorGetter Eagle drum scanner
5. Optimize the image in Adobe Photoshop CS on my calibrated Dell 19" Ultrasharp monitor
6. Using Qimage print the image on my Epson 9800 on Crane Museo Silver Rag paper using a custom printer/paper profile
7. Cover the print with archival paper and allow to dry for 24 hours
8. Spray the print with two coats of PremierArt PrintShield protective spray
9. Remove the curl in the print using a rolling device
10. Sign, inspect, and ship the print

The time, equipment, expertise, and care that goes into these steps helps ensure the quality of my prints and is the reason why I feel confident in guaranteeing your complete satisfaction.
