Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What kind of photographic paper is used?

A. Fuji Crystal Archive professional grade. This is a museum-quality photographic paper with fine grain and rich color, and the highest archival longevity of any photographic paper available today. When mounted under glass or acrylic out of direct sunlight, your print will last at least 75 years.

Q. Should I choose glossy or matte finish?

A. There is no "right" answer; it is entirely a matter of personal preference. Matte finish is less reflective, but glossy gives colors a little more color saturation. My personal preference is glossy for the extra contrast it provides.

Q. Does the image fill the paper, or will there be borders?

A. There is an 0.25 inch white border around the print to allow for mounting. An image's aspect ratio (width to height) does not always match that of the photographic paper. In those cases, the image will be enlarged and cropped to fit the paper. This ensures that there is no extra"white space" in the finished print.

Q. When will I get my print?

A. Once payment is received, normal turn-around time is 4-8 working days (1-3 to print, then 3-5 to deliver). Contact us for expedited shipping rates.

Q. Can you ship outside the USA?

A. Shipping rates to other countries vary by country, and I can provide you with pricing upon request.

Q. Do I have to pay sales tax?

A. Prints that have California shipping or billing addresses will be charged sales tax per California state law.

Q. What shipper do you use?

A. FedEx

Q. I have a special request for my print, such as printing with a special finish, or at an odd size. Can you accommodate me?

A. Most likely, yes. Contact me with your needs and I can provide options and pricing.
