About the Prints
Archival Pigment printsAll archival pigment reproductions are exclusively printed by the photographer. These prints are made using an Epson Stylus Pro 7880 wide format printer utilizing Ultra-Chrome K3 pigment based inks.
These inks combined with the fine art paper Hahnemuhle Photorag 308gsm (used for prints), yield a life expectancy of over 100 years without visible fading.
Printers like all tools they require more than a press of a button to yield outstanding results. Advanced field techniques and balanced post processing methods are only two more parameters that help complete the "picture".
Archival pigment prints meet museum standards and are only dispatched after rigorous inspection.
These prints can now also be ordered already matted and framed. Please note that framed images will only be shipped within Europe.
Archival C-Prints
C-Prints are produced using traditional photo-chemical process utilizing chromogenic materials. These prints will be printed on a Fuji Crystal Archive DPII paper, which holds the highest life expectancy of any chemical paper at over 75 years.
These prints are produced by a fine-art professional photographic lab. Please note that this process is not available for black and white photographs. No size restrictions apply for this print process.
Additionally C-Prints can be ordered mounted on Aluminum with or without acrylic glazing.
Limited Editions
Limited edition prints have a set number of reproductions, plus 3 artist prints. When the edition becomes sold out no further prints will be produced for that specific image and size.
