Print information

Ordering prints

Prints can be ordered through the website when Paypal buttons are present. Paying through paypal allows us to keep overheads low and it is safe and secure. You don't even need a paypal account, but it makes things a little easier. You can open an account at www.paypal.com. Simply go through the checkout process once you have selected the print(s) you want.

If you are interested in other prints that do not have a Paypal button, please contact us directly.

Quality

Prints are high resolution quality custom prints made on archival paper in 8x8, 13x13 and 20x20 sizes. The prints are signed by the artist (on the back). To keep costs down and to give you the flexibility to choose your framing style, we are offering the prints unframed. Contact us if you are interested in a print framed by us instead or if you want a series of prints - we can work on a "volume" discount. We are also happy to talk about different sizes. See below for some idea of the quality difference between website images and prints.

Pricing

We work to keep the prices as low as possible to allow more people to enjoy our prints. It can take a little while for us to get the printed version made (up to 2 weeks). Prices are as following and include packing and shipping:

Size (in)	Size (cm)	Price (US$)
8x8	20x20	$30
13x13	33x33	$50
20x20	50x50	$90

Color

The print colors might be slightly different from what you see on your screen. This is to be expected as monitors are not usually calibrated, or they are, not the same way. We strive to match the prints to what we think the "real world" looked like. Color differences will exist, but they will be minimal: we are talking about shade color differences only, a red flower will be printed red, but the shade of red might be slightly different.

But it's not square!

Most of our photos are square, so we specify square sizes for the prints. However, for the few rectangular images, the print size will be different. The logic is that if you order a rectangular print at 13x13, it will be 13 by at least 13. Exactly how much bigger will depend on the precise aspect ratio of the image.

But I can print your images on my home inkjet printer!
(and it's a real good one)

So how would a print from the website image differ from the one you can purchase (apart from the fact that buying it means you're not breaking any copyright law, and you'll feel good about supporting us)? Let's take the example of the iris. Below is the image from the website.

Let's focus on the area in the rectangle. If we enlarge that area, here is what we get at the same resolution:

And here is what the actual print resolution looks like:

You can see that the actual print shows a whole lot more detail than what you could print from the website image. Whether you have a really good printer or not will not make any difference.

Note that the fragment above, on a 20x20 print, would be about 2.5x1.5 inches.
