About the Prints

My images are printed on high quailty archival Fotospeed papers using only the finest quality pigment based inks. Currently I am using both Platinum Cotton 305 and Smooth Cotton 300. Both these papers have matt finish.

Platinum Cotton 305 • 100% cotton, acid & OBA free, fine art paper with a smooth natural surface.

Smooth Cotton 300 • 100% cotton, pH neutral, fine art paper with an ultra-smooth surface.

Signing and edition numbering • Prints are sold as signed and numbered limited editions. The edition size is the amount of each image that will be printed. My images are nearly always printed with a white border leaving room for mounting (matting), signature, title and edition number unique to that indivdual print. As well as the main edition a further 3 ‘artist proofs’ will also be printed. These may vary slightly to the main edition and won’t usually be for sale, although they may be distributed at my discrection.

How to look after your print • Avoid hanging in direct sunlight or bright light. Avoid hanging near or above a heat source like a radiator or fireplace. Damp walls should also be avoided. Hung in the best conditions using only archival framing materials will ensure that enjoyment of your print will easily last a lifetime.

Please note • There is a difference between viewing an image on a computer screen and the final print that you will receive. I have tried to make the online images as close as I can to represent accurately the print you will receive, but inevitably there is going to be a little difference. All of my work is made with printing in mind to ensure your maxium enjoyment.
