Museum Quality Prints

What happens next after you order

After you select and order images I print from the original digital files on Cold Press Natural paper using an Epson 3880 printer loaded with archival pigment inks.

The print is air dried in my studio then rolled in rice paper, tucked into a thick-walled mailing tube and delivered to USPS or UPS. The package arrives ready to matte and frame.

You’ll receive 2 automatic emails confirming the order and when it ships.

About the paper: “For fine art photographers looking for a matte medium that can deliver a wide color gamut and high brightness, Epson has developed Cold Press Natural Paper. Made from 100% cotton rag and using a cold press production technique, this paper features a textured matte finish. The heavy weight of 340 gsm, thickness of 21 mil, and opacity of 98%, further give this paper the look and feel of a true fine art paper. Also, by omitting optical brightening agents, this media will feature a more natural coloration. Designed for longevity, Cold Press Natural is free of acid, lignin, and chlorine and is pH buffered.” (bhphotovideo.com)

When the prints arrive I suggest removing them from the tube to allow them to relax layered in the rice paper, in a dry temperature environment. The wide, deep top drawer in a dining room buffet is an ideal flat file

I suggest a light 2, 4, or 8 ply rag board matching the photo paper. The print is best hinged to the matte board with linen tape than protected by UV glass. To prevent dust close-cover the back of the frame using tan craft paper and double stick (ATG) tape.
