Paper Selection
Lustre - These prints offer the best of both worlds: the color saturation of glossy the fingerprint resistance of matte without the glare associated with glossy. Lustre has a satin-like sheen and a modestly textured surface which you can see when the light angle is just right. Lustre is printed on Kodak Supra Endura paper, which is heavier than matte.

Metallic - Rich, distinctive prints with a huge WOW! factor. With a glossy finish and unique metallic appearance, these prints have extra visual interest and depth. They are printed on long-lasting Kodak Professional Endura Metallic paper. This paper uses a proprietary combination of film laminate layers that produce striking, three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background. The effect is sometimes described as "chrome on paper." You'll see extreme sharpness, brightness, and color saturation with an intense black density that increases its appeal. The proprietary laminate layers also increase the durability and tear resistance of the final print, increasing the opportunities for display applications.

Giclée Canvas and Watercolor Prints
Giclée Prints are made with high-quality archival inks on fine art papers using a high-resolution large format inkjet printer. The premium inks produce images with smooth tones and rich colors, making these prints ideal for extraordinary presentations. Available in 2 paper surfaces: Watercolor and Canvas. Watercolor Giclée Prints are on a heavy, 310g paper with a subtle texture. This acid-free paper is 100% cotton fiber and is finished with a water-based protective spray.

The Giclée process enables printing directly on museum-quality canvas material, so prints will not separate over time. There are three different mounting options: Canvas Wrap, Canvas Stretch/Staple, and Canvas Board. Protective spray coating is applied to the surface of each print to help prevent scratches and other damage.

Canvas Wrap prints are a stylish, low-cost alternative to traditional framing. The print is wrapped around a stretcher frame so that 1 3/4" of the photo's edges are visible on the sides of the frame. Delivered display-ready with hanging hardware attached.

Canvas Stretch/Staple mounting is a unique way to display your images like a fine art canvas. The print is stretched to the edge of a 1 3/4" thick wooden frame, and stapled around the edges, leaving the full image on the front. Suitable for framing.



Canvas Board prints are mounted onto sturdy Gator Foamboard, a very rigid foamboard and lightweight backing with a white finish.

Float Mounted Metal Prints
Metal Prints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. The high gloss coating takes on an almost magical luminescence. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the archival qualities of this unique process are unparalleled. Detail and resolution are unsurpassed. This method of printing showcases a revolutionary new medium that is highly durable, waterproof, weatherproof, and ultra scratch- resistant. The high-gloss sheen gives your photos a vibrant luminescence with incredible detail and resolution. Printing directly on an aluminum surface produces rich, vibrant colors and gives a perception of depth to the image.

Each Metal Print comes backed with two 3/4" thick lightweight foam blocks and aluminum plate with drilled holes for easy hanging. When hung, these stunning prints will float off the wall. Each print has rounded corners for your safety and the surface can be easily cleaned with any commercial glass cleaner.
