Print Quality

All photos are delivered as professional Archival Pigment Prints, sometimes referred to as Giclee prints, where only the finest inks are distributed on the finest papers for a piece that will not only display beautifully, but will also stand the test of time.

The prints are a pleasant surprise when they arrive because the resolution of high-quality modern printing matches the incredible detail of the photo in a way that computer screens can’t. The resolution of a photograph to your eye is limited by the medium on which it is being reproduced, and that means that unless you are viewing your photo on a professional quality high definition calibrated monitor, you are missing out on quite a bit of detail and color vibrance.

Since most of our home and work computer displays are not high definition calibrated devices, you may be surprised at how much more detail and vibrancy your photos will have when they arrive as a print.

Gallery Frames

Gallery-style framing is a stunning way to display nearly any type of photograph, but it is particularly beautiful for black and whites. It enhances the classic and elegant look of a photo and will match almost any decor. Prints for gallery frames are mounted on foamboards to prevent warping, single matted for that classic gallery appearance, and then overlaid with exhibition quality glass.

Floating Canvas Mounts

Floating Canvas Mounts are a stylish alternative to traditional framing. Your images are printed edge-to-edge on gallery-quality canvas, and then stretched across a frame to create a frameless, edgeless, image that appears to be floating on the wall.

MetalPrints

MetalPrints™ represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface rather than printed on it, the images take on a magical lifelike quality. Colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. Detail and resolution are unsurpassed. You’ve never seen a more brilliant and impressive print!

Foamboards

Your photo can be mounted on a rigid, but lightweight, backing with a matte finish. Photo prints are mounted to foamboards using pressure sensitive materials for a durable print that will not warp. The print and foamboard can easily be framed if you choose to do so afterwards.

Limited Editions

Limited edition photographs are prized works of an individual Vaperture photographer that represent unique and exclusive images offered in very limited quantities. Only the finest archival pigment printing techniques are used, and the paper, frame, glass, and canvas options are custom managed by the artist. If you choose to have your Limited Edition piece framed or mounted, please allow a longer processing time since the photographer will be intimately involved in every step of the production process. Your photograph will arrive with an edition number and the photographer’s signature.
