STEP TWO: PROOFING AND APPROVAL
Our capture and printing process is controlled with state-of-the-art digital color management. We make proofs from the
captures and make adjustments to match your original. We provide you with a small final proof which we believe to be
"really close"*** to matching the original, given the limitations of the process. This is included in the price of the capture. If
you want us to take it a step further and get the reproduction even closer, we will do additional color tweeks and produce
another proof. We call this a "round" of proofing.
Each additional round of color adjustment, with proof $25. ea. round
Once you are happy with the color of the proof described above, a larger or full size "Artist's Proof" is made to insure that
everything looks the way you want it at a larger size. At this point, you will decide on and specify border sizes.**
Before the proofing process starts, you choose the paper for your proofs. If needed, we can do an initial round of proofs on
several papers for you to compare before choosing.**
Additional adjustments to your art: we can remove signatures, fix flaws, add colored borders, crop, or change specific colors
or elements of the image. This is charged at the rate of $100. per hour, with a minimum charge of $15.
STEP THREE: FINAL PRINTS
You decide on the sizes you want, image area plus borders, and we will make final prints. The square footage is calculated
as the image area plus the borders (the size of the piece of paper). The printing is priced per square foot based on the size
of the whole print order. Different images and sizes can be mixed or all of one image. Orders with large quantities (over 30
square feet) of the same image may qualify for further discount.
Final Prints on Art Paper or Canvas are priced between $13. and 28. per square foot depending on order size.**
All print files can be delivered for archiving or other uses. Additional charges at $60. per hour may apply for sizing and
re-purposing of files.
Additional charge to remove art from frame if needed, $25.
** See our PRINT PRICING schedule for proof pricing.
