Johns print service…
Fine-art printing isn’t always straight forward, so I’m here to listen and customise each job to your needs. Whether that’s a single print, exhibition of works, or drop shipping online sales. Prints can be picked up from Reservoir, posted or shipped directly to the customer.
Fine Art (Giclee) prints
The finest materials, greatest aesthetics and highest archival life. The look and feel of each paper is unique. Matte papers have smooth or textured surfaces. Coated papers have a satin or gloss like finish similar to traditional darkroom prints.
Canvas Fine Art prints
100% cotton canvas, free of artificial brightening agents like most other products on the market, which can lead to a loss of brilliance over time (I have personally verified this). The fine weave makes this canvas well suited for high resolution photographs or art reproductions of any kind. A matte varnish is applied for lasting protection. I return to this combination as my preferred choice after trying many other solutions.
Premium Photo prints
These have a similar look and feel to traditional film era prints and are durable in the hand, this is the most cost effective solution. Available in satin or gloss. Printed on resin coated photographic papers, the difference between these and my fine art prints comes down to the paper.
Maximum paper width: 110 cm (44 inch roll)
Maximum print width (paper): 105cm – 108cm, I suggest leaving some white space for paper handling
Maximum print width (canvas): 95cm (same as paper, except you need to consider 5cm border for edge wrap)
Maximum print length: 200cm approximately, check with me if you need more.
Inks: Epson’s latest pigment inks suitable for fine-art, with high archival life.
Media: All types of fine-art media such as cotton rag, cotton canvas & coated papers from reputable brands (Canson, Ilford, Hahnemuhle etc)
My process is carefully colour managed with methods I have developed over time for accurate and pleasing results. Each image is individually checked and prepared for printing. Framing and stretching is available upon request. Online ordering is available but I find most people prefer to contact me directly!
