• Custom Ink Jet prints

• Commercial Prints

• Canvas Gallery Wraps (Prints)

For custom inkjet art prints I prefer to use Epson inks and Epson or other quality inkjet photo papers - please note that the life of any photographic print is limited based on the quality of materials used (inks, print papers, mounting boards, matte and framing materials) as well as the conditions under which the print is both stored and/or displayed - avoid exposure to direct sunlight and/or harsh lights for any print (or painting) that you value.  The information below is from the Epson web site (2008 information.)   Note that this information is only valid for art prints  purchased directly from me where I have used Epson papers and inks - prints from one of my third party vendors may use other inks or photographic papers.

² - Ink lightfastness ratings based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass.

For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com, refer to the Epson Stylus Pro 4000, which uses identical inks for the latest information.

I also offer canvas gallery wraps in partnership with a specialty vendor: 

Canvas
Made from the highest quality fabric, our heavyweight artist canvas is ideal for photo- graphic and fine art reproductions.

Longevity
Canvases are all treated with a UV inhibiting coat, that protects the canvas from fading. The canvas coating combination is rated to last for over 100 years.

Gallery Wrapping
The term "gallery wrapped" refers to the way the canvas is stretched over the wooden supports. In this case, the image "wraps" around the side of the supports and is stapled onto the back. This is a finished look that allows you to hang the piece without a frame.  If desired, you can also frame these specialty prints but the product is ready for hanging when delivered.  This product also works well for 'series panels' (i.e. same photographic subject using a time series or panoramic series suitable for display over a larger space.)

Please contact me for additional information on any of these photographic print products.
