GENERAL INFORMATION

All images on this website are released by their copyright holder in the public domain. Files may be downloaded from their respective websites free of charge. The prices we charge are for production and overhead expenses only. The images are licensed only for personal and educational use. Please obtain clearance from the copyright holder for any other useage.

The images we sell are from the highest resolution files obtainable. The files vary considerably in size. Some can only be printed to a maximum and others have no limitation. No cropping is done to any image. In the description of each image we have stated the proportions of each file compared to a 10 inch length. You may use this guide to determine the amount of black canvas we will add to make the print fit the size of the photo you ordered. For example, with a 6x10 image proportion, there will be 2 inches of black background (1 inch on either side) added to get to an 8x10 print, or 4 inches of black for a 16x20 print, etc.

The largest size we recommend for each file is reflected in the print order menu. In some cases we can print larger but we suggest that you contact us first. We use professional interpolation software to achieve larger sizes. At a proper viewing distance from the enlargement you will see no difference in quality but if you examine them closer they may seem to be softer.

All prints are made on Fuji's professional Crystal Archive paper with a lustre (not glossy) surface. Glossy paper is available by special request. Images are written to paper on a Chromira LED printer and processed in a Colex 50" paper processor using Kodak RA-4 chemicals. Prints are not stabilized but are washed free of residual chemicals using duplex wash tanks.

We guarantee all prints to be free of physical defects or digital artifacts. We do not keep an inventory of stock and all orders are fulfilled from production. Please allow 48 hrs to print and two days for normal shipping via priority mail.
