Selected fine art
photographs (found in the Art Prints
Gallery) are printed by the
photographer or under his supervision,
signed, and numbered. Prints are
on high quality rag papers, using the Epson
Ultrachrome system. Unmounted
Prints may be ordered in 8x10 or 11x14 sizes;
framed and ready-to-frame matted prints are
available on request. Locale and
shooting information are provided. Prints
larger than 12x15 available upon request,
unmounted only.
Some of these subjects
are also available as notecards on high
quality rag art paper from Crane. Notecards
are sold individually ($5 each) and in sets
of five ($20 set). The cards have photographs
(described below) printed on the face with a
blank inside. To purchase prints or
notecards, email kimbler.kai@earthlink.net.

Notes:
The
signed and numbered prints are numbered,
not “limited
editions”. In classic
printmaking, an edition is the set of prints
made from a single master. This is not
the case in photographic prints, and so a
limited edition makes no sense. These
prints are dated and numbered sequentially
without regard to size, so the owner knows
the origin and order of the
print.
This is more useful information that a
dubious “#5 of 50”, when the same
photograph may be printed in another edition
of simply a different size.
While
there is natural concern over the expected
life of a print, there can be no guarantee,
regardless of materials or
process. These
prints use high quality inks and acid-free
paper. They should
be mounted using archival quality mattes and
mounting materials, and framed behind glazing
or protected by suitable surface
finishing. Recommended
mounting is to use mounting tape rather than
adhesive or dry-mount on mounting
board. All
photographs on display should be in muted
room light, with picture lights or accent
lights used if necessary. Tungsten
light displays art with color best, with
halogen next best. Ordinary
fluorescent light rarely displays a
photograph at its best. Direct
sunlight and strong glare sources should
always be avoided. When
professionally mounted and framed, and
properly displayed, these prints should give
decades of enjoyment.
