PHOTOS & POSTCARDS - ADVERTISEMENTS - MAGAZINES - DOCUMENTS
We scan our photos and documents using a high resolution scanner, then work to artistically and digitally bring them back to life, pulling out as much orignal beauty and detail as possible.
Our William The Artist, carefully goes over each image, centimeter by centimeter. Tears are repaired, stains, spots and scratches removed, darkened and aged paper lightened, faded colors are brought back to vibrant life.
Below: A couple of before and after, showing the original scans, then with the images enhanced and ready to print.
Below are 3 print options for prints on paper.
We use a local printer and have the images printed on a matte card stock. We have found that the colors and tones actually last longer with less fading on this paper versus regular photo paper. We also like the matte finish as there is no glare.
Below: Option A (No extra fee)
Most straigh forward and simplest for us, and results in a clean look that best showcases the entire image.
However you must have a custom mat and frame made.
Below: Option B. (Extra $15.00 fee)
Printed on standard image sized paper, we create a decorative, desctriptive element to "fill in" the gaps. Easy for you to then find and purchase a standard mat and or frame.
However, for our time we charge an extra $15.00 fee.
Below: Option C. (Extra $10.00 fee)
Printed on standard image sized paper, we work with you via e-mail to find the best "crop" for your image. Easy for you to then find and purchase a standard mat and or frame.
However, for our time we charge an extra $10.00 fee.
PRICING
Standar paper prints. OPTION "A"
11x14 = $25.00
16X20 = $35.00
BEST VALUE CANVAS
These canvas prints are not "high end gallery" quality, but we find that they are perfectly suitable for standard usage. Especially when considering the larger size of the canvas relative to the size of the photos. A small photo blown up large scale, doesn't need a super high detailed canvas reproduction. At large scale, the image will not be high resolution, regardless of the quality potential of the reproduction.
We have found the image quality of these canvases to be suitable for the vast majority of requests, and the value per the quality/size is good.
18" X 24" = $120.00
24" X 36" = $450.00
36" X 48" = $499.00
NOTE!
Unlike our paper prints, we CAN request the canvas be printed to the same proportions as the original photo.
So the Size/Pricing above reflects the LARGEST proportional measurement.
Example: If you choose the 18" X 24" option and the photo you want enarged actually measures 15" X 24" once enlarged. The price is still the $120.00
