The Mediums

Mood Changing Artistry

LUMACHROME ACRYLIC PRINTING, creates Vibrant Saturated Colors, Rich Deep Blacks on Contemporary frames and Float Mounts for the highest-quality imagery. This process offers a clean, gallery-quality presentation and modern look that will dramatically enhance any private home or business facility. Fine Art prints produced this way show incredible visual depth and an almost 3d quality full of high-definition details, beautiful tonal transitions, and incredibly vibrant colors. Light that falls across and reflects off of the face of artwork is visually "trapped" within the acrylic glass and, when properly lit, appears to be illuminated or back-lit. LUMACHROME Face Mount Prints make the image jump from the wall with stunning clarity and definition that surpass Fuji Flex quality.

METAL PRINTS are one of the most popular printing options for fine art photography wall art. They offer permanence and high-quality presentation, bringing mood and gallery-level impact to your wall. In the ChromaLuxe process, dyes are applied directly into specially coated aluminum panels. Unlike traditional prints, the process embeds the image within the material itself, resulting in a sleek, luminous finish that is both modern and enduring. Light reflects through the image and off the metal substrate, creating a dimensional glow that enhances skies, water, and natural light. They can be hung with contemporary float mounting.

CANVAS PRINTS are created using 7-color oil-based ink or 12-color pigments for extreme color and accuracy and are leagues above any standard canvas. They are both naturally water-resistant and need no coatings that will crack, peel, or flake. Our Fine Art Giclee Prints have high resolution, clarity, and archival properties with incredible image quality.

FINE ART RAG PRINTS have high resolution, clarity, archival properties, and Dmax, giving incredible image quality. We use the finest Hahnemule Baryta papers, Hot Press (smooth) and Cold Press (textured) surfaces, making them ideal for Fine Art Limited Editions with in excess of 100 years before fading. Archival matting and mounting under glass is always a fantasitc look.
