_ the print comes with a white border of about 1,5 cm on each side, which allows for proper handling and facilitates matting and framing; the size mentioned above is a net size that does not include this border;
_ a hinged matt is made of a white Daler-Rowney mountboard (back) and a white Canson Ingres Vidalon matt (front) with a white core; both boards are acid-free, and conform to the ISO 9706 standard for permanence; the print is mounted with a T-hinge using archival Abaca Hinging Tape, which is used for the hinge as well;
_ price includes VAT, but does not include postage, packaging, or framing;
_ prints on archival fine art papers up until 58 by 87 cm are printed by myself on a Canon ImageProGraf Pro 2100 printer, using archival Canon Lucia Pro ink;
_ Diasec TruLife framing is outsourced, as this is a specialised and proprietary framing method;
_ prints are always made on demand; as such a purchase cannot be cancelled once the print has been produced, or in the case of Diasec TruLife framing, once I've placed the order
_ disclaimer: as part of the printing process, and to ensure my personal quality standards are met, two AP/PP prints are produced: one on an A4, and one in the format at which the print is advertised above; the larger size print is typically used for exhibiting, unless an HC print was made specifically for that purpose; the smaller one can be part of my paper portfolio.
Settling on a paper stock for this image has proven to be no easy task. The crispness of the debris slope in the foreground, the primarily cold tones of the background, and the large global contrast (with the sky almost turning to white and the shadowy cliffs below to a very dark grey) seem to call for a punchy baryta paper such as Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II, so that was what I used. Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II consists of an acid and OBA free, internally buffered, ISO 9706 and FSC compliant, mixed alpha-cellulose & cotton white paper base to which a barium sulphate coating is applied, resulting in a high permanence.
