Information about Print Mediums:
Although the Print Shop offers only photo paper prints and museum-grade canvas wrap prints in standard sizes, other mediums and sizes are available by contacting me. Read below to learn about the available mediums and how to display them.
1/8” Acrylic Prints
Acrylic prints are beautiful lustre photo prints face-mounted to plexiglass with polished edges and DiBond backing. Acrylic prints are available with glossy plexiglass or non-glare plexiglass. Prints come with french cleat mounting hangers.
Other options available: Please contact me for other options including alternate sizes, stainless hanging posts, metallic surface, etc.
Recommended Lighting: Acrylic prints display best under lights that match natural light (4700k or D50 bulbs) in order to bring out the vivid colors and tones. Additionally, acrylic prints look amazing by ambient lighting in the room from windows
Non-recommended Lighting: Non-daylight spectrum bulbs.
Care: Your Acrylic Print should only need occasional gentle dusting with a non-abrasive cloth. To remove any dirt or streaks, use a small amount of mild soap with water and rub gently with a clean, soft cloth. Follow up with a clean, damp cloth and dry by blotting with a soft cloth. Never use any products that contain ammonia or alcohol as they will damage the acrylic. Novus #1 Cleaner can be used for cleaning acrylic to a beautiful glossy shine. PLEASE NOTE: Do not use paper towels or other rough materials on acrylic. Never get the back of your Acrylic Print wet.
Metal/Aluminum Prints
Metal prints are made by infusing dyes directly into specifically coated sheets and are reknown for being brilliant and impressive. They’re waterproof and scratch resistant too! Metal prints have 1/8” rounded corners and come with a backside inset frame mount with a french cleat mount and are offered in glossy or matte finishes.
Other options available: Please contact me for other options including alternate sizes, different corner treatments, framed metal prints, curved metal prints, acrylic coated metal prints, exterior hanging finish, etc.
Recommended Lighting: Metal prints display best under halogen, bright white incandescent, full-spectrum LED, or indirect light.
Non-recommended Lighting: Standard fluorescent bulbs emit a light pattern that is partially absorbed or scattered by the print surface and the green part of the spectrum will reflect more than other colors and therefore displaying metal prints under fluorescent bulbs is not recommended. Due to the nature of dye sublimation process, metal prints should be kept away from direct sunlight as they will fade in direct sunlight over time.
Care: Cleaning your Metal Print is easy! Simply use a soft, dry microfiber cloth and gently wipe the print. Non-ammonia glass cleaner, water, or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol can be used without harming the print surface. We recommend using a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe off the print. No cleaners containing ammonia, abrasives, or corrosive chemicals should be used.
Canvas Gallery Wraps
Canvas Wraps are printed directly onto museum-quality premium glossy canvas material using high-quality archival inks and wrapped around a 1.5” depth frame. Canvas wraps are ready to hang with a sawtooth hanger and bumpers. Depending on the image, I will decide what the size of the canvas wrap will look like- I usually select a mirrored image wrap that reflects the edges of the print but on occasion a mirrored wrap will not work for the print and I must select a solid color border wrap (black, white, or image matching color).
Other options available: Please contact me for other options including alternate sizes, lustre or matte finishes, thicker or thinner frames, float frames around the canvas wrap, specific color of border wrap alternative hanging options, etc.
Acrylic prints display best under lights that match natural light (4700k or D50 bulbs) in order to bring out the vivid colors and tones. Additionally, acrylic prints look amazing by ambient lighting in the room from windows
Non-recommended Lighting: Non-daylight spectrum bulbs.
Care: Cleaning a canvas wrap is easy! Simply use a soft, dry microfiber cloth and gently wipe the print. Chemicals should not be used on the print and water should never be sprayed directly on the surface.
Fine Art Prints
If you’d like a traditional print to be framed, Fine Art prints are the way to go. I print on museum-grade white fine art. Fine art prints will have a small white border on each side to aid with matting, handling, and display. Fine Art prints should never be placed in direct contact with glass/acrylic (mat the photo). Fine art prints are shipped standard without matting or frames and you will need to arrange matting/framing to suit your needs. All prints will have a small white border around the image so thatthe photographer’s signature can be displayed when matted, and the print will have extra paper around all edges for mounting.
Other options available: Please contact me for other options including alternate sizes, mounting onto styrene or gatorfoam, framing/matting, alternate paper types,, etc.
Recommended Lighting: Fine Art prints appear best indirectly lit through a window or under lights that match natural light in order to bring out the colors, tones, and textures. If placed under strong lighting, a UV-resistant glass is recommended to be placed over the print.
Non-recommended Lighting: Placing a Fine Art print in direct sunlight is not recommended. Non-daylight spectrum bulbs are not recommended for ideal viewing.
Care: If framed, matted with acid-free materials, and placed under glass in a dry area, your Fine Art print should last many, many decades to come without needing any care. If left framed but not under glass, simply use a feather duster or canned air to clean dust from the image.
Photo Paper Prints
Photo paper prints are the most economic way to get Devin’s prints into your home, office, RV, cabin, or elsewhere. Devin prints on Kodak Endura Lustre “E” photo paper, the premier photo paper in the industry that lies somewhere between a glossy photo and a matte photo with a slight pebbled texture. All prints will have a small white border around the image so thatthe photographer’s signature can be displayed when matted, and the print will have extra paper around all edges for mounting. Photo paper prints should never be placed in direct contact with glass/acrylic. Photo prints are shipped standard without mats/frames and you will need to arrange matting/framing to suit your needs.
Other options available: Please contact me for other options including alternate sizes, mounting onto styrene or gatorfoam, framing/matting, alternate paper types,, etc.
Recommended Lighting: Photo paper prints appear best indirectly lit through a window or under lights that match natural light in order to bring out the colors, tones, and textures. If placed under strong lighting, a UV-resistant glass is recommended to be placed over the print.
Non-recommended Lighting: Placing a Fine Art print in direct sunlight is not recommended. Non-daylight spectrum bulbs are not recommended for ideal viewing.
Care: If framed, matted with acid-free materials, and placed under glass in a dry area, your Fine Art print should last many, many years to come without needing any care. If left framed but not under glass, simply use a feather duster or canned air to clean dust from the image.
