LIMITED EDITION IRIS PRINTS |
| Although introduced just a few years ago, Iris prints
have already set new standards for fine art reproduction, and are
recognized by museums, galleries and artists as the finest quality prints
available today. The hallmark of an Iris print is the unparalleled
smoothness of the tone reproduction; this is achieved by applying the inks
in microscopic size droplets in a unique overlay technique, which leaves
absolutely no trace of the printing process. |
| The Iris print is also renowned for the delicacy of its
detail and the subtlety of its color palette, effects that are heightened
when the original image is “captured” directly via a digital scan rather
than indirectly via transparency film. Carefully selected hand made
acid-free watercolor paper is used. The care that should be taken with
Iris prints is the same as the care of a fine watercolor. Photography,
particularly portrait work, printed as an Iris print offers a stunning
alternative to the traditional photograph. |
Iris prints are sometimes referred to as 'giclée' prints.
There is a substantial difference in the technology and quality between an
Iris press and other ‘large format’ printers. It is therefore important to
establish whether a giclée print is a genuine Iris print.
All of my Iris prints are printed on a genuine Iris press. |
| My Iris prints are all limited editions, numbered and
signed. They are available matted ready for framing, or framed ready for
hanging. Since these are considered “oversize” for shipping purposes,
shipping and handling costs are determined by geographic location.
|
|
MATTING MOUNTING AND FRAMING |
| All prints are double matted using only acid free matting
materials. All prints 16 inch and larger are mounted on an acid free foam
core board. Iris prints are framed with black or brown wooden frames, and
regular photographs are prepared with black metal frames. All have wire
attached for hanging. All are framed with Tru-Vue conservation glass, 97%
UV filtered.
|
|
LIMITED EDITIONS |
| All my prints are sold as Limited Editions of 150. All
are hand-signed and numbered. The edition size listed represents the total
number of prints that will be sold in addition to Artist Proofs. After all
numbers of the Limited Edition are sold, that image will not be printed
again as an Iris or c-type print, making your Limited Edition print a
valued addition to your collection.
|
|
DISPLAY CONDITIONS |
| Careful display conditions are necessary to assure
longevity of any work of art. High heat and humidity should be avoided,
and art work should never be hung where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight. The use of “acid free” materials in matting and framing is
essential. UV glass is always used with my prints.
