Print Information

Lon takes great pride in his work creating and capturing scenic landscapes and intimate portraits of nature.  This passion translates directly to the processing, printing and presentation of each print.  With the advancements in digital technology, the photographer now has more control over the entire process and Lon takes great care in presenting the print as close as possible to the original transparency as well as his interpretation of how he viewed the scene at time of capture.  Digital processing of the scanned image is only done to the extent that could be done in a traditional darkroom; contrast and color ajustments, dodging, burning, dust/scratch removal, and sharpening.  

When viewing individual images in the many galleries of lonoveracker.com you will find an "order" button.  Selecting this button will open up a new window with pricing information and a link to take you to a shopping cart at PayPal.com where you can purchase the print with your credit card or PayPal account.  It's easy and secure.  However, we understand some folks may wish to send a check or money order - if this is the case, please use the Contact page and submit your request.  Please include your name, address, email, which print and size, and any other questions or instructions.  Thank You for your interest.

Prints

Prints 16x20 or larger are professionally printed using a LightJet 5000 printer using Fuji Crystal Archival photo paper.  These archival prints have a lifespan of up to 100 years and are the highest caliber photographic prints available today. Unlike the inkjet processes, the LightJet exposes the Fuji photographic paper using lasers and then the print is processed in traditional photographic chemicals.  The printed results are superior in quality, color and sharpness.  Unless otherwise requested, all prints come in a glossy finish.  

Prints up to a maximum dimension of 12"x18" are printed with a Hewlett-Packard wide format Inkjet printer and HP's Vivera Inks.  HP's paper/ink combination also result in 100 year fade-resistant and color archivability.  Both the LightJet 5000 and Inkjet long term archivability assume that the print is under glass and protected from harmful UV rays, water, extreme heat and humidity.

Matting

All the mat and backing board used to surround the print is made from acid-free, conservation-grade material.  This insures the longevity of the print.  Unless specified, the prints will be double-matted with white mat board.  White allows the print to stand out and will match any frame you may select.  At your request, Lon will work with you to select a custom color mat combination to bring out and enhance specific colors in the print.  Lon does all the mounting, matting and framing for prints up to 20x24.   - Lon takes great pride in his work and it will show in the selection and presentation of matting.

Lon will sign the print and/or the mat for you.

Framing

Framing your new nature fine art print is what brings it all together.  Unless specified, the default frame will be a white mica over wood or white aluminum frame.  The width and depth of the frame will be appropriate for the size of print.

A quick note about having prints matted and framed.  Lon highly recommends to call around and price matting and framing services.  In most cases, having a print matted and framed will cost more than the print itself.  Check around and please consider purchasing the print matted, framed and ready to hang.

* - Each image is printed with a 1" white border to allow for title and signature.  Additionally, the added border allows the print to lie much flatter on the backing board.  Traditionally, the double-mat covers approximately a 1/8" border around the print.  Alternatively, and at your request, Lon will use a single mat revealing the white border of the print and signature area.  By default, the print will be signed, but covered by the matting; The mat will then also be signed.
