How long will my order take to fulfill? |

It generally takes about one to six weeks, depending on my production cycle of printing and varnishing. If you're in a hurry, let me know so I can see if I can prioritze your order. Sometimes – depending on wshere I am in my print and varnish production cycle – I ask for a rush fee when my customers ask me to prioritize the print(s) they want me to produce. I want to wait until I have several purchase orders before I'll print and varnish those prints in batches, to be efficient by working according to economy of scale. Exonomy oF scale means I can reduce my production costs by printing and varnishing several prints per batch, instead of amall number of prints at a time. |

Meticulous work required for high quality |
||||||||
The reason why it can take weeks is because it's more efficient for me to print and varnish prints in batches, so I can keep the prices low. (My prices are lower than any other local, regional, national or American artists' fine art, archival, canvas inkjet prints. I compared prices and found that out of 26 such artists my art was priced lower than any of the other artists' art – and my art prints – which are limited edition – were priced even lower than one of the other artist's prints which were open edition prints!) My print prices are only one-third to one-half of the price of unstretched, limited editioncanvas prints of similar quality canvas prints by other local, regional, national and international artists! Making archival, fine art inkjet prints is complicated and time-consuming, and requires attention to detail, and quality craftsmanship takes time, Many people think that making archival fine art canvas prints is just a matter of pushing a few buttons on a printer, and viola – the prints just pop out of the printer – as if the machine does all the work . But a quality printmaker like me must laboriously manaage every aspect of the printkmaking and subsequent varnishing process to produce archival works of art that I'm proud of. This means mastering complex color management, so that the colors match as closely as possible among the canvas prints, Internet and printed versions of my art mages. It means that I must record on every print the print details of that print: the title, size, dimensions, edition size, publication date, individualized print number (and co-ordinate that number with my corresponding written provenance of all of my art portfolio), and year of publication of the image. I laboriously hand-signn every print, using acrylic interference and/or acrylic iridescent paint, which is an an extra effort because I must have on hand a variety of appropriate customized paint colorso to be harmonious in colors, tones, shades, hue and prominence with the bottom left or right corner of the print where the signature is written. I must laboriously lay out each digital art file on my computer on my computer before the print is ready to print. I must keep my high-tech printer in good working order – which is a challenge despite having modern technology. |
