Print Media

Each print is custom ordered and printed at Dickermans Lab, San Francisco’s Premier Photo Lab.  The photo paper for each print is museum quality giclée (inkjet) prints on fine art paper. Photographs are printed on the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 inkjet printer, which is state-of-the-art in pigment printing.

Giclée is a type of fine arts print (pronounced zhee-clay) that signifies the highest-quality print available, known for unparalleled detail that maintains its integrity well beyond the point at which other prints may start to fade. Giclée prints are also known for their longer lifespan, they’re resistant to smudging, sun, or humidity damage. Giclée prints are made with archival paper. Archival paper is known for its outstanding durability because it’s acid-free. The superior quality of a Giclée print rivals traditional printing processes and is commonly found in today’s museums, art and photographic galleries and collection’s. Giclée prints are perfect for matting & framing.

All slides and negatives have been professionally scanned at Dickermans Lab on the Imacon 848 scanner.

Canvas Media

All photographs on Canvas are printed on Artist Grade Canvas using a patented design. Canvas Wrap PRO is built with a solid, supported face which prevents sagging or warping over time. This will ensure your canvas will always look as tight and flat as the day it was made.

The canvas is 1.25” Depth, with Finished Backing, Corner Bumpers, and Metal Screw Fasteners. 

All photos on canvas will be printed in the “mirror” format. The mirror borders, also called mirrored edges, wrap the parts of the image closest to the edge over the sides of the canvas in a mirror image. This is a bit different from a photo-wrapped canvas, where the image simply continues over the side. A mirror border literally mirrors what is on the front edge.

All Canvas photographs will be signed on the back of each print.
