 Dark Sky Dreams on

To order standard prints, simply browse the galleries on the SmugMug site, add photos to the shopping cart, and complete the order directly through the SmugMug shopping cart checkout system.

Standard prints are produced by a professional photo lab using the highest quality acid-free Fuji Crystal Archive paper for sharp, brilliant images, and long display life.

The prints are available in Lustre finish. For print sizes that require cropping from the original full frame 35mm (2:3 ratio) format, such as 5X7, 8X10 or 11X14, you control how the cropping occurs when placing the order via SmugMug.

Standard prints are shipped directly from the photo lab to your address. The prints do not include matting or framing. Matting and framing are very personal esthetic choices and also greatly add to the expense of the final product if included. Since the photos are shipped from the photo lab directly to you, the customer, the photos will not be signed. However, upon request, I will mail a signed label for each photo purchased to attach to the back of your own mat or frame.

Premium LightJet Prints

About Lightjet Prints

Prints made on the Lightjet 5000 or Durst Lambda printers are the highest caliber color photographic prints available on the market today. These printers user a three colored laser system to expose traditional photographic media. Unlike inkjet printers which spray tiny dots of ink on the media, these printers produce a continuous tone, resulting in a sharpness and quality of print second to none.

Prints made on the Fuji SuperGloss or Kodak Endura Metallic media can obtain an absolutely stunning brilliance. The Trans media is translucent and is perfect for display on an illuminated panel or light box.

Laboratory testing of the Fuji Crystal Archive and Kodak Edura papers show that the prints should last 60+ years with no appreciable fading.

Premium Giclée Prints

About Giclée Prints

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is French, meaning fine spray. Giclée prints are produced using an inkjet process on fine art paper or canvas media. The Giclée prints offered on this site are produced on 100% acid-free gloss canvas media using Epson's UltraChrome inks, resulting in fine art prints of the hightest quality and of exceptional beauty. Due to the archival materials and inks used, these Giclée prints are rated with a display life of around 100 years.

Ordering Giclée Prints

These premium Giclée prints can be ordered through the galleries on this site. The prints do not include matting or framing. Matting and framing are very personal esthetic choices and also greatly add to the expense of the final product if included.

By default, Giclée prints will be signed on the front using gold, silver, or black colored archival ink, as best fits the art work. In addition, a signed label will be included with each print purchased to attach to the back of your own mat or frame.

Giclée prints are available with the following presentation and finishing options:

Giclée with Gallery Wrap - the Giclée canvas print will be stretched on one inch (1") thick wooden stretcher bars. In gallery wrap, the Giclée is printed slightly larger than the specified print size so that the image will wrap around the sides of the stretcher bars. This gives a very attractive appearance to the print which can be hung without framing. Note that some cropping of the image will occur as it is wrapped around the frame. If excessive cropping would occur, the image will be modified to allow enough border for an attractive wrap effect. The print will be signed, unless otherwise requested, and a clear coat of varnish will be applied.


Giclée Dry Mounted on Masonite - the Giclée canvas print will be dry mounted on rigid archival grade masonite board. The print will be signed, unless otherwise requested, and a clear coat of varnish will be applied.
