| Prints
are shipped rolled in tubes. The tubes are in turn boxed, providing
additional protection. It is not possible to ship loose prints flat,
as they are easily susceptible to damage. Prints are signed by the
artist. About ordering framed prints |

| If
a particular print lists a price for framing, it is possible to purchase
the print framed. Framed prints use plexiglass and a black metal frame.
The print is drymounted and matted, There are many custom framing
options. Please call or email for details. |

| If
a particular print lists a price for a mounted option on its web page,
it is possible to purchase the print mounted. Mounted prints are laminated
to a hard board. The edges are then beveled and colored. This is often
referred to as ‘plaque mounting’. Please call if you have
any questions about this process. Please note that plaque mounting
may reduce the longevity of your print. |

- Framing prints helps protect
them, but be sure to use only archival framing materials, as over
time, acids used in the manufacturing process of non-archival
quality matts and mounting adhesives can attack your print, causing
discoloration.
- Do not put your print in an
area where it will come in contact with direct sunlight.
- Do not keep your print in a
high humidity area.
- If you frame your print behind
glass, please ensure that the print does not make contact with
the glass, as over time, bacterica can grow between the glass
and the print surface which can discolor the print.
