A New Printer
I recently invested in a new Epson 4000 wide format printer for the creation
of my digital art prints. The main advantage of this new printer is its
ability to do larger size prints. Maximum output width is 17 inches and the length
is only limited by the paper stock available. This should allow
me to easily create 16x20 prints on heavy weight art papers. Because
of the new wide-gamut pigmented inks and my own custom profiles, these
prints have detail, tonality, color accuracy, and improved gamut beyond
anything previously available. These prints are NOT cheap flimsy inkjet
prints made with fade prone dye based inks from a home office printer. Image quality
of these prints far surpass traditional print reproduction techniques.
Colors are rich, detail sharp and best of all it allows me the artist
the ability to control the art from creation to final signed print.
Archival Inks
The Epson Stylus Pro 4000 takes advantage of the company's award-winning
Epson UltraChrome ink technology. UltraChrome Inks are water resistant
and offer lightfastness ratings for color images up to 80 years on
specific Epson papers under non-UV glass. When displayed under UV-protected
glass, color lightfastness is rated at more than 100 years. This is
better than the best widely available conventional photographic print
life by 20-40 or more years. You can be assured my prints will last.
Detail, Detail, Detail
To guarantee the optimum in print quality all my prints are created from
high resolution digital files. The reason for this is very simple, “resolution
= detail.” I pride myself on the fine detail I incorporate into
my artwork and for that detail to show on the final print it is important
to start with a file that for a typical 12x16 print can be as large
as 200 megabytes. This makes for a print that has vibrant color and
smooth crisp lines.
Unique, Open Edition, Signed Prints
Unless otherwise noted these are Open Edition, signed original prints.
It is my opinion that "Limited Edition" prints are of questionable
value and often overly inflated in price, I prefer to offer a the buyer
a chance to own a quality print at a reasonable price. But my prints
are limited by virtue of the fact that each one is created slowly and
carefully by me.
Ordering Prints
I personally oversee the creation of each print and inspect each of them
for color and quality before I sign each print. Prices and shipping
cost as well as a shopping cart system with a “Add to Cart” button
is in place on this site to ease in ordering. If you prefer not to
purchase online orders can be placed by sending a check or money order
along with a description of the print desired to the address below.
Be sure to include your name, address and contact info with your order.
To Preserve Your Print's Archival Quality
1. Handle only with clean dry hand or cotton gloves.
2. Store or display in moderate temperature and humidity.
3. Use archival acid-free products for mounting, matting, and framing.
4. Display under glass, and avoid long periods of direct sunlight.
