Prints
Prints are supplied unframed.  Print orders are fulfilled by Spectrum Photographic, a professional lab specializing in fine art and photographic printing based in East Sussex, England.  Prints can be shipped worldwide.  Spectrum Photographic utilizes three paper types: Fujicolor Crystal Archive Type II, Somerset Enhanced Velvet and Innova FibaPrint White Matte.  Fujicolor Crystal Archive Type II paper is used for glossy, matte, and lustre finishes; Somerset Enhanced Velvet and Innova FibaPrint White Matte are used for giclée prints.

Spectrum Photographic will print images in one of five finishes: Glossy, Matte, Lustre, Enhanced Velvet, or White Matte.

Glossy photos are printed on coated paper with a very smooth, shiny reflective surface. Glossy finishes have a high-contrast appearance and look slick to the touch when not under glass. This finish has an excellent dynamic range and color – slightly more “pop” than the matte paper, though less noticeable once framed.

Matte finishes have a very smooth, non-glare surface. Matte finishes have a lower-contrast when printed and are often used to enhance the texture of a print.

Lustre has a slight gloss with a subtle,  pearl-like texture. Lustre paper has a deeper color-saturization than matte.

Giclée is the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing.  Somerset Enhanced Velvet paper or White Matte paper are available for Giclée prints.
