1. Prints

Printing

Artwork is printed in New Zealand by professional fine art printing lab. 

Prints are produced using  Epson SC-P20070 and Epson Ultrachrome Pro Inks which are designed to be light-fast. 

 

PAPER

Photographs are typically printed on premium Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm artist paper, unless otherwise stated.  This white cotton artist’s paper has a wonderfully soft feel, with a lightly defined felt structure, enhancing each artwork three-dimensional appearance and pictorial depth. It is acid- and lignin-free and ISO 9706 conform / museum quality for highest age resistance.

The combination of the wide tonal range of the printing inks and the fine art paper we use enhances the painterly style of my photographs.
