Fine Art Printing
Greetings Fellow Photogs.

Well, Spring is coming and prints are in the air!
It seems that many of you took the dive and bought wider format printers along with me last year or recently. Well, mine is still bigger than yours so don't forget that I'm still around and willing to print and ship off your photos for you.
I print on Moab Entrada Mat paper and have a roll of the Epson Enhanced Mat paper. I've printed a few dozen photos for Rick Lundh, a couple for Curis and Ned and I'm sure they'll recommend me.

My sizes and prices are as follows.

The easiest way for me to figure out what to charge for prints is to charge by the smallest piece of paper the print will fit on. That way I don't have to go through all sorts of gyrations figuring if the square inches of your print deserves this price or that price. I'll look at the size of the print, print it on the smallest piece of paper it will fit on and charge you accordingly. Done deal.

8.5 x 11 $20
11 x 17 $20
13 x 19 $30
17 x 22 $30
18 x 24 $35
20 x 30 $40
24 x 36 $40

Not including shipping. Shipping is typically ten bucks. If I could pack ten prints in on box, it would still be ten bucks.

Don't forget that an i.e., "17x22 print" doesn't fit on a piece of 17x22 paper. I can't print edgeless so a photo this size would have to be printed on the next size larger piece of paper and charged accordingly.

Mark's kinda short, but his prints certainly stand above the rest! :wink:

I prefer to use the prints as another excuse to take a drive up the gorge. :biggrin:

I can offer the same service here in Vancouver, custom profiles and prints while you wait. Look for my article in the next issue of PHOTO TECHNIQUES:
