So many different types of paper, ink and printers – printing can get complicated.
I can simplify it for you.
Printing on Paper
My printing paper of choice is a satin/luster paper. Also sometimes called semi-gloss, it has a smooth finish, reflections are minimized compared to a high-gloss paper, and bright rich colors print nicely.
As a second option, I offer a watercolor style of paper distinguished by its elegant cotton-fiber texture… great for images which contain softer, more subtle colors, as well as black and white photos.

Archival Paper
Fine-art cotton fiber based papers are archival in quality because of being acid and lignan free, and do not contain OBA (optical brightening agents). Luster paper is not technically archival.
However, colors are rendered differently between the two papers. It's much harder to get bright saturated colors to jump out at you with a watercolor paper. Both of my papers though will outlast all of us, provided they’re framed with UV protection glass. Have questions about paper? Call me. It's a favorite subject of mine.

There's a great deal of craftsmanship that goes into the making of a black and white print. After all, these type of images often involve more than just printing with black ink. My printer uses eleven inks, including four different combinations of black and gray inks. And if there's any kind of color toning involved (sepia toning, for instance), the experience of your printer becomes indispensable.

The Art of Printing
Of course there’s a lot of technology in making a print these days, but nothing replaces human experience, communication, and attention to detail. Printing is still as much art as science.
What are your most worrisome problems with having your artwork printed? Getting the right colors? Selecting the right paper? Unresponsive or unknowledgeable customer service?
Call me and let's talk. I have answers... or opinions attained from decades of printing experience, as the case may be.
Commercial Art Buyers and Interior Designers
Interior designers generally have one priority above all for selecting artwork: color. Matching the style and color of artwork with furnishings and the overall design is paramount.
So in order to serve you better, I have assembled a few image galleries organized by color. I can also tweak colors to meet your wishes. Say you like one of my flower pictures but would prefer more of a Barbie pink than a Blush pink… tell me your wishes. I’m really good at scrutinizing and editing color.
I also offer wholesale giclée inkjet printing services from your fine art and photography digital image files.
