The technology of digital printing has quickly evolved so that color prints photographers are able to make today are of extraordinary quality in all measures: color accuracy, breadth of color palette, tonal range from light to dark, and longevity of the prints. Traditional color processes like cibachrome prints or color dye transfer prints are beautiful, no doubt, but I much prefer color inkjet prints.
All of my images in print sizes of 20" and larger (measured by the long dimension) are offered in limited editions of no more than 100 prints of each image, and each print comes with a certificate of authenticity.
All of my prints in sizes of 20" and larger are currently being made by a professional printing lab in Northern California. My preference is to print the images on Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster, and then to mat and frame them. Wilhelm Research (one of the leading pioneers of longevity testing of inkjet prints) estimates that these prints should last approximately 250 years without noticeable fading. At a minimum, you should be able to enjoy them for a very long time without any noticeable diminution in quality! If you have a different preference for printing and framing your prints, I will work with you so that you can enjoy these prints in the manner you would like (with prices adjusted as may be appropriate).
Prices for 20" and larger, limited edition, matted and framed prints:
The below prices are for prints that are professionally matted and framed. You can choose from a variety of wood and metal frames:
20" prints (about 26" as framed and matted): $650
3o" prints (about 36" as framed and matted): $1,100
40" prints (about 46" as framed and matted): $1,600 *
I also invite you to purchase unframed prints at significantly reduced prices. However, my experience is that framing and matting prints is more expensive at a framing store than if I have prints framed and matted contemporaneously with having them printed.
You are also welcome to purchase metal prints of your favorite photo. Metal prints are made by infusing dyes into specifically coated aluminum sheets (also referred to as a dye sublimation). Today's aluminum prints are also considered to be archival and have become more popular the last couple of years. Aluminum prints are generally more durable (because they're metal) and so don't need to be framed and come with a float mount hanger attached to the back of the print so that the print appears to "float" about 1/2 inch from the wall when hung. Without framing, I sell metal prints for a bit less than the above prices for matted and framed, archival paper prints.
Print sizes above refer to the long dimension of the print so that, for example, a 16" x 20" print and a 12" x 20" print are both referred to as a 2o" print, and likewise 24" x 30" and 20" x 30" sized prints are both referred to as 30" prints.
*Not all images are available in 40" prints. Send me an email if you're interested in very large prints: httivals@gmail.com.
Prices for 17.5", unlimited edition prints:
I also make prints of approximately 17.5" in the long dimension for a price of $150 each. (Ask me about a particular image and I'll tell you the exact size, depending on its aspect ratio.)
These prints are of the same quality and on the same archival paper as the larger prints, albeit they are smaller and not framed. These are also not limited edition prints. The number of prints that I may sell in smaller sizes is unlimited.
I do not frame or mat the 17.5" prints. That's up to you.
Shipping/Delivery.
If you live in Lafayette or nearby, I will deliver your prints to you. Otherwise, I will have them shipped to you. Shipping is extra based on my actual cost for shipping and packaging.
