About the Print Process

Pigment Prints

Pigment prints, like the above legs image, are available in sizes up to 150x300cm, in open or limited editions. Several mounting methods are available.

Pigment prints excel in permanence. The particulate nature of pigment inks ensures their archival superiority. A particle of pigment is less susceptible to destructive environmental elements than a dye molecule.

Gelatin Silver Prints

Gelatin silver prints from film negatives are available in sizes up to 28x36cm and are individually hand processed in the analog darkroom on Ilford fiber-based paper and toned in selenium. Prints are mounted using acid-free cotton rag-board for optimal preservation to museum quality standards.

Prints are mounted at an equal distance from the top of the mount, leaving a larger margin at the bottom in order to facilitate their display, one beside the other. This method is known as bottom weighted. Edition number, signature and date can be found on the mount below the print. A sticker with print and process information is placed on the back of each mount.

Digital Negative
Gelatin Silver Prints

These prints are made from a digital image that is converted to a large negative and contact printed on gelatin silver fiber paper processed in the traditional darkroom using chemical solutions. This painstaking process is worth the work and investment as the resulting prints are exceptional in their beauty. Available in sizes up to 28x36cm.
