Basic Pricing for Prints

Minimum order is $150.

I provide a wide range of printing services, including printing your digital images and preparing files that you provide for printing. I have the capability to produce prints up to 44 inches wide on the short end, which means that I can print very large prints (e.g., 40×60 inch prints). I can also provide panoramic prints of almost any length — please inquire about your particular needs. I print both color and black & white images.

These prices include resizing and sharpening for output and other basic preparation for printing, but do not include more substantive Photoshop work such as correction of enlargement issues, dust spotting, contrast adjustments, dodging and burning, or the like. Such additional work is billed at my standard billing rate of $75/hr and will only be done with prior approval. If you prefer, I will print your images “as is” with no manipulation.

Pricing is based on the amount of paper used, including border areas, and can be seen in the right-hand column. Pricing is the same for all papers as I only use what I consider to be premium papers. Discounts for large volumes may be available and please inquire about shipping & handling charges.

I will create a proof print of your image on your selected paper before creation of a larger print upon request. Proof prints are $22/each for a proof on 8 1/2"x11" paper. I recommend proof prints in all cases, particularly for new clients, and purchasing a large print without proofing first is at the risk of the client.

Pricing for Special Printing Options

Deckling

I now offer deckling of fine art prints for a fixed price of $10/print. A deckled print is a print that has one or more edges that are torn instead of being a straight edge. Because of its historical origins, deckling is often associated with fine art papers and deckling of paper edges can add an organic feel to a digital print. While the effect can be overdone, I’ve found that selective deckling can emphasize the ‘print as object’ feel of a digital print. A deckled print is typically framed with the edges showing, such as by being dry mounted without an overmat. Deckled prints can also improve the aesthetic “presence” of a print intended for hanging on a wall without a frame.

I can deckle one, two, three, or four edges of your print. In some cases, we may have to print a larger border to give more room to make the tear. I also prefer to use thicker matte papers for aesthetic reasons, and usually textured ‘meatier’ ones, though the process will work on almost any paper.
