Each print is printed under the watchful eye of the artist. We use Lustre paper which is the premier paper most preferred by the majority of photographers and is considered more of a professional-grade paper. Lustre has a slight gloss with a subtle, often pearl-like texture. Lustre paper has a deeper color saturation than matte and is thicker and has a higher contrast than consumer paper. Finger prints and smudges are not as visible and provides anti-glare properties. We have been using our current paper for over a dozen years and have hung over 5,000 framed images in over 100 commercial and residential projects. We are extremely happy with the results and know you will be, also.
