Ordering Prints
Thank you for your interest in purchasing
a print! At one time, I had provided
a direct link to a page for each image with one, two or three
print size options on a single kind of photo paper, and buttons
that would take you to PayPal to purchase the prints by credit
card.
Alas, life has been getting much more complicated!!
I have many more images to offer, my printing systems are vastly
updated and capable of larger prints of surpassing longevity,
and it will take me a LOOONNGGG time to update all of my pages
to include the dizzying array of options. Since I have at least
four different finish (media) options and up to eleven different
size options, that's, uh, up to forty-four different options
I would need to put on some pages. Ouch!
Sooo....
I thought it would be better to simply describe
here for you what basic media options, sizes and prices are available,
to at least give you an idea of what is available here. Then,
you can contact
me by email to request specific information on making
a print for you. In your email, please give me your name and
mailing address, the name(s) or number(s) of the image you are
interested in, and the size you might like your image to be printed
at. You can also tell me your preference for a finish (media)
type, if you like. Then, I will email you back and tell you precisely
the available sizes for your image, and what it will cost with
the various media options. If you decide to purchase, you can
then pay by PayPal (or you can mail me a check or money order),
and I will process your order.
Here's basically what's available:
For FLOWERS and ANIMALS, I can provide 12x15 or 12x18 prints (depending on
the image composition) on all media types (paper), and I recommend
the Standard Archival Premium Semi-Gloss (or Semi-Matte, which
is virtually identical) finish for these types of images. A Premium
Glossy Finish is also available, if you request it (at no extra
charge). I have a few 13x19 prints left over from previous production
on Glossy paper, but these are not "up to 100 years Archival"
like the new prints I now offer. These will not be produced again,
so you may purchase these while they're available. They are excellent
quality prints, and will last 10 years or more if framed under
glass. These images CAN be printed somewhat larger -- perhaps
up to 16x22 or even 18x24 or 18x27, but I will supply these larger
prints ONLY ON CANVAS. The standard paper (and some of the Matte
papers, also) are very revealing, photographically, and on this
kind of paper, these images tend to get a little "digital
edgy" when printed at large sizes, and I will not honor
return privileges on images printed at non-recommended sizes
on non-recommended media. So, save your money and get a smaller
image, or order the larger image on Canvas. Canvas has a certain
type of texture which is very forgiving of the kind of imperfections
we get with digital images.
For LANDSCAPE ("Waterscapes")
images, I can provide virtually any
size from my smallest offered size (12x15) to the largest (24x36).
These are all photographed on 4x5 sheet film, so they can be
enlarged greatly and retain beauty, sharpness and integrity (no
"digital edge", and virtually non-existent film grain).
These look wonderful on the Standard Semi-Gloss paper, but they
look absolutely stunning on the Fine Art Matte paper, and also
present beautifully on Canvas. These are more expensive, and
the additional expense goes completely toward the extra ink,
the more expensive paper, and the additional time it takes to
process such an order -- the higher price for the Fine Art Matte
print is not a "profit enhancement" for me. So, if
you want something extra-special, this is the ticket. Some of
these images are also in limited stock as 13x19 glossy prints.
For the PLACES gallery images (when I get around to completing a gallery in that
section), most images are on medium format film (some on large
format), so we can do some moderate enlargement, say up to 18x24
or 18x27, with excellent results. Some of these scenes HAVE been
photographed using large format film. When I post them, I'll
let you know which ones have been. Any print finish can be applied
to these images; perhaps I will make specific recommendations
when I create the gallery.

NOT ALL SIZES ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL IMAGES, because of the aspect ratio necessary for specific
images, so please email
me first to make sure the size you want will work with your
selected image. If your requested size is not available for your
image, I can recommend the appropriate size, and we can proceed
with your order.
Once we confirm the correct size print
for your image, you can place your order
by going to paypal.com (and registering a free account, if you
don't already have one), and sending money to "purchaseprints@robertsmithphotography.net",
along with information about your order. I will confirm your
order immediately.
Once your order is placed, I will process
it as quickly as possible. Each print is individually made to
order. Please allow up to six weeks for delivery, though in most
cases, I should be able to fill your order much more quickly.
Framed Prints: I can produce a few sizes of
Framed Prints, ready to ship. If you are intersted, please contact me
for more information.
Print Quality Guarantee: I will always produce these prints using the latest
available digital photo inkjet technology for the finest image
quality, color accuracy, and longevity (archivability). I unconditionally
guarantee these prints to equal or surpass any process - digital
or chemically-based -- of producing high-quality photographs.
If you don't agree, then simply return your order, and I will
refund your money, less shipping charges.
Print Materials:
The Standard print finish is a premium semi-gloss or semi-matte
finish (which are nearly identical). Also available are prints
made on a premium Fine Art Matte paper (smooth or textured) or
Canvas. All types of finishes are optimally designed for faithful
photo-quality reproduction in digital printing. The materials
used to produce all finish types are museum-quality, lightfast
and fade-resistant -- up to 100 years behind glass, and good
for decades under normal home lighting without glass (which is
my recommendation).
Print Sizes:
I make available the following print sizes (in inches): 12x15,
12x18, 16x20, 16x22, 18x24, 18x27, 20x30, 22x28, 24x30, 24x34,
and 24x36. Not all print sizes are available for all images;
please ask for details.
