Most people are unaware of the substantial cropping or image distortion that must occur when printing a 35mm image to standard sizes (8x10, 11x14, etc.). I am not a fan of such manipulations and strive to keep each to a minimum. Additionally, I want your final print to match as closely as possible to the image you have viewed on this website. For this reason, the print sizes offered for most images more closely approximate the relative dimensions (2:3 ratio) of a full 35mm negative (8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, and 24x36) inches). For compositional purposes some of the 35mm images have been cropped to varying sizes including some which are cropped to a square format.
In my studio, images up to 14x21 inches with at least a ½ inch white border are produced on an Epson 3800 ink jet printer using Epson Ultrachrome K3 pigment inks. Prints can be produced on matte or luster/semigloss paper. These are outstanding, tonally rich, archival prints that when framed properly, should last a very long time (approximately 60-80 years).
For prints larger than 14x21 I am currently outsourcing the printing process to my local service bureau where LightJet prints are created from the digital files. The LightJet produces stunning large prints on luster photographic paper.
The below prices are based on the SHORTEST dimension of the print.
- 8 to10 inch short dimension, ink jet on matte or luster paper, $50.00, plus shipping ($15.00) and tax (Ohio residents).
- 11 to 12 inch short dimension, ink jet on matte or luster paper, $80.00, plus shipping ($25.00) and tax (Ohio residents).
- 13 to 14 inch short dimension, ink jet on matte or luster paper, $100.00, plus shipping ($25.00) and tax (Ohio residents).
- 15 to 24 inch short dimension, LightJet on glossy paper, $250.00, plus shipping ($25.00) and tax (Ohio residents).
All ink jet prints are signed and numbered. The LightJet prints are sent with a letter of authenticity, which is signed and numbered. Earlier images were be produced as a limited edition of 300, regardless of print size. Current sales have no limited editions. Please note that images sold as numbered fine art prints may on occasion also be sold as stock images for commercial use.
