Many people find the hardest part to understand about professional
photography is the printing and proofing. First, there are a ton
of choices to choose from regarding size, paper, coating,
cropping, and framing. Then you have to decipher the
industry-specific lingo that supposedly explains it all.
So
I am going to do my best to explain the various options
available. I believe the best kind of customer is a well
informed one. I personally do not give my money away without
knowing exactly what it is I am getting in return so why should I
expect you to?
However, I do understand there is only so much I can explain here
before the lines begin to blur so feel
free to pick the phone up and give me a call. I can usually
explain things in greater detail on the phone or setup an
appointment to meet with you and let you see sample prints.

What
makes a professional print, professional?
The process begins with the photographer. They are responsible
for capturing a high quality photo and maintaining the quality
through editing, cropping, color correction and any other
processes required prior to printing. Next the right paper and
printing process must be used to ensure that the result matches
that of the original image. This also defines the quality value of a print.
Many people
have personal printers, photo paper and can make their own inkjet
prints. This process has come along way in quality and durability
over the years but it is still not a "real" or traditional
photograph. To make a "real" photograph you must first expose a
light sensitive paper and then run it through a chemical process.
This produces a photograph that will not bleed and will
last hundreds of
years if cared for properly.
Inkjet prints are made by spraying ink on top of a special
absorption paper. This leaves the ink exposed to the elements
which
can cause it to fade and bleed.
All of your
photographic prints are "real" photographs, utilizing the best
papers and processing. Your memories are priceless and I honor that
by preserving them with the best archival inks and papers.

Fuji or Kodak papers. There are a variety of surface types
including Luster, Glossy, Pearl and Metallic along with a complete
selection of sizing and mounting options. These papers produce the

Professional Endura Metallic Paper |
Luster is the
industry standard when it comes to professional printing. It
has a high resistance to fingerprints, similar to that of
matte paper, and has high color saturation like that of
glossy paper without the glare. |
Pearl is
a beautiful pearlescent paper. It was developed exclusively
for digital output and yields a high quality glossy finish
ideal for professional applications such as commercial,
fashion and portrait photography. |
Metallic
paper has a high gloss, distinctive metallic look with rich
colors and intense blacks creating an image with dynamic
visual depth excellent for portrait and commercial printing. |
