Hi there... just wanted to take a minute to introduce you to my business. I have arranged permission with Marcel to post here, so all should be well. I have recently been developing some new products for mounting and presenting photographs and they have proved popular. Firstly I am an Approved Fine Art Trade Guild printer and you can find my details on their website. My work has been tested by an independent lab for lightfastness to the Guilds standards. I print with the Epson 9900, up to 44 inch wide. It is a superb printer and is complimented by my own custom ICC profile produced with the industry standard X-Rite i1 Pro2. I use a fully colour managed workflow including a regularly calibrated Eizo Coloredge CG277 monitor.
So the products I would like to tell you about are an acrylic mounted product and a new aluminium composite product. The acrylic is crystal clear cast acrylic. My product differs from the usual acrylic in that it is surface mounted. The advantage of surface mounting is that you can use many different paper options including matt fine art papers as well as gloss films. The gloss film I use produces stunning print quality, exceptional depth and gamut and is further enhanced and protected with a 'Deep Water' laminate. This is a high gloss laminate that imparts a stunning richness to prints and yet doesn't create the high glare problems of face mounted prints under acrylic.
The aluminium composite is created with two panels of a 'Dibond' type sheet and with an additional coloured core of Foamex, which can be coloured to compliment your print. All products are fitted with an aluminium sub frame on the reverse with an integrated hanger, ready to adorn your wall.
Prices are worked out simply by a cost per square inch as follows:
Acrylic 5mm thick = 20p/sq inch : 10mm thick = 27p/sq inch : 15mm thick = 33p/sq inch
Aluminium Composites 10mm thick = 22p/sq inch
