Printing a beautiful color image is about paying attention to the subtle nuances of each scene, and making sure those qualities are evoked in the final print. I have selected two printing methods to convey beautiful, rich color: Chromira, and Ink Jet printing. Both color methods have their unique advantages. Chromira prints are usually less expensive, and they have the tactile look and feel of a traditional photograph. They are georgous to look at. My primary paper choice is the light sensitive Kodak Pro Endura Lustre. Recently I have discovered the unique beauty of Matallic papers, and soon will offer it in my drop down menus. It will run the same pricepoint as the Kodak Lustre option. If you prefer Metallic paper, just shoot me an email.
The second printing method is Ink Jet Printing. Technically speaking, the color gamut of a Chromira print is 8 bit vs the 16 bit Ink Jet print. In very few instances, 8 bit color range may not be enough to convey the accurate, far-reaching color saturation and dynamic range required for color complex scenes like a sunset, or a sunrise. Also, when viewed up-close, an inkjet print will often look sharper than a Chromira Print. My paper choice for Ink Jet printing is Epson Premium Luster which has an extremely long life span. Museo Silver Rag is also available upon request.

I have selected the Floatplaq to convey my Fine Art Prints. FloatPlaqs give plaque art dimension to appear as if it is floating off the wall. Made from premium eco-friendly wood, FloatPlaqs create a durable yet creative way to preserve and present fine art.
I have selected Black to represent the framing color of my images. Alternate colors are available; just e-mail me your color desire.
I have selected the Satin finish to bring out the incredible color in my images.
Floatplaqs are mounted on an acid-free 3/8” thick surface, finished with a beveled edge, and given a ¾” deep backing to create a floating effect. The backing is recessed from the edge such that it is not easily seen. A simple French cleat system is provided to securely mount and display a FloatPlaq.
