BIG PRINTS
BIG PRINTS – new digital camera images have now surpassed
the quality of film (not to say the silver-halide art form isn't still
deserving of its rightful place – and certainly photographers like
Clyde Butcher will maintain the art form) and the large
megapixel digital cameras matched with large format printers
allow our walls to display a photographic representation that
looks and feels much like a painting.

Last year I discovered a true photographic print with vivid,
brilliant color surpassing any I have viewed. The print process
at Allied Photographic in Grand Rapids, Michigan,  begins with a
“true photographic print”. Photographic paper is exposed to
laser activation in complete darkness and then processed with
standard wet chemistry. The plastic emulsion layer is then
stripped from the photographic paper and impressed onto
canvas with a specialized mounting press. The resulting image
of up to thirty six by fifty four inches is carefully mounted to a
support frame yielding a stunning work of art that everyone will
be proud to display. The image can be framed to match any
interior, with or without glass as it has a UV protective coating
applied to it.
Inkjet Giclees have become an exciting form of
expression for modern photography. Large format
inkjet printers produce a splendid textured image on
canvas. The canvas is then mounted on a wood
frame and wrapped two inches around the sides. The
wrap-around gives a unique depth in its extended
view. Visually this print surface resembles a painting
as much as it does a photograph. The archival inkjet  
print is UV coated and will last one hundred plus
years. These images can be produced in sizes up to
thirty six by fifty four inches.

ALL OF MY PHOTOGRAPHY CAN BE PRODUCED AS
BOTH “TRUE PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS” OR INKJET
GICLEE WRAPS.

AS THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINT IS LABOR INTENSIVE
ITS PRICE IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
