Standard prints are on Fuji Crystal Archive Professional Super Type PD Luster paper and mounted to your choice of backing.
- Styrene is a very durable 3/32" acid-free, plastic backing that will allow prints to fit most frames. Prints on styrene may be mounted frameless, though mounting to foam is recommended.
- Foam is a very solid backing that is slightly thicker (3/16") than styrene. Plastic coated and resistant to warping, it allows for frameless display. 1" standout hanging posts can be added for $15.
- Matboard is a thin, economical option for smaller prints. If you would like to order a small, cheap sample print this may be the best option. Matboard does tend to warp when not framed.
- The 3/4" and 1.5" Standout options provide a very nice ready-to-mount, frameless option. This is the most popular trend for displaying photos. The boards are very light but sturdy and come with holes pre-drilled for hanging.
Canvas wraps are 1.5" deep and come with a hanging wire attached.
Several other special order options are available including Kodak Endura Metallic Paper (provides exceptional depth and vibrance), Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl Paper (extra high, slightly reflective gloss finish), Fuji Crystal Archive Professional Deep Matte Paper (soft, warm, non-reflective matte finish), bamboo mounted prints, acrylic mounted prints (the most expensive/ most attractive option), metal prints (with several available options), and prints larger than those listed. If you have something in mind that you don't see listed, please contact me (stephen@shotbankphotography.com). Chances are I can make it happen.
Most photos are displayed as at a 3:2 aspect ratio. Panoramics are typically 2:1 or 3:1. I can crop most photos to alternate aspect ratios (rectangle, panoramic, square, etc.) if you are interested. I'll send you preview options before printing.
*Most photos are available in all sizes. However, a few photos lacking in resolution may not be available in the largest sizes.
*If you would prefer a print with no backing at a discount please contact me. I highly recommend against this, but I can offer most prints at a slight discount with no backing.
