ART MEDIUMS

ARCHIVAL PHOTO PRINTS

**Most Affordable**

All photographic prints are printed professionally by some of the best studios in the U.S. Although, I have limited options available for order via the store, I can custom order you whatever variants you may want including:

Sizes: from wallet sizes to 30x120

Print Surfaces: Lustre, Glossy, Matte, Silk, Metallic, Pearl, Deep Matte Velvet, Fujiflex, Maxima Matte, Maxima Glossy

Protective Coatings: Lustre or Glossy Coating & Satin or Glossy Plastic Laminate

Textures: Canvas, Pebble, or Linen

Mounting: Xpozer, Styrene, Gator Board, Masonite, & More

*Xpozer* Is a great way to get large wall art on your wall for a more affordable price. You can also order replacement Xpozer prints at a discount and swap btw prints in the same frame.

Framing: Professional framing available with many different frame and matt options.

*I default order Lustre via the store. The Lustre doesn't show glare in high light display environments.*

CANVAS

Canvas prints are made utilizing Professional Photo Papers bonded to museum quality canvas. There are five main options available:

Canvas Gallery Wraps: A contemporary way to display your images, with or without a frame. From 5x5 to 42x92 plus custom sizes, Photographic or Premium Fine Art Canvas, 5 border styles, various float frame options, 3/4th" 1.5" or 2.5" depths, various hanging options, Lustre Glossy & Metallic Coatings

Canvas Thin Wraps: The print of your choice is can be made on Lustre Paper, Metallic Paper or Fine Art Canvas material. The image is then over-laminated with a soft Satin Laminate or a Glossy Laminate. The resulting product is then wrapped on Gatorboard, with or without a foam layer (Softop) in between the print and the board.

Canvas Board: An excellent pre-treatment for Canvas Prints that will be framed.

Loose Canvas: Loose Premium Fine Art Canvas Prints are printed on museum-quality canvas material and delivered unmounted.

Clusters & Splits: The options and visual diagrams on bayphoto.com make it easy to choose beautiful wall displays using individual images on each print, or one image across multiple prints.

*I default order Canvas Gallery Wrap in Lustre with a natural wrap with 1.5" depth via the store.*
