Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a limited edition print and an open edition print?
Only a finite number of prints are made with a limited edition while an open edition
is not restricted. Usually the limited editions are larger in size than open edition prints which are usually 8x10 or 11x14.
The main difference is that limited edition prints undergo a proofing
process to ensure the prints are to my exact standards. Once the prints meet my standards
they are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity. If you are looking for an investment in fine art a limited edition print can increase in value over time.
Do you offer framing and matting?
Sorry, I don't offer framing or matting. There are too many personal choices
for colors and styles to make this option cost effective. You can purchase framed and matted
giclee prints from Fine Art America.
Is the color I see on my computer the color I'll get on the print?
All of my photographs have been prepared to give the truest colors possible. However,
computer monitors differ from each other and must be calibrated. I can't
guarantee that the colors you see on your monitor will match the print you purchase.
In every case, however, the actual print will look better than what was seen on the monitor.
What if I'm not satisfied with the quality of my print?
Because of the "factory" process involved in producing my open edition prints I realize
that sometimes mistakes in production can occur. If you are not satisfied with your print
let me know. I guarantee 100% satisfaction with both my limited and open edition prints.
How are your photographs made?
Whether I'm using film or a digital camera all of my photographs are printed using digital enlargers.
Only digital enlargers with the highest quality silver halide chemical process are used.
These enlargers create a type-C photograph which is what most people consider a
"real photograph". My photographs are superior to other prints made by an inkjet
or dye sublimation printer.
Is it safe to order online?
Yes, when you place an order at one of my online galleries the transaction is encrypted
so no one can steal your information.
