printing process is a term used to denote archival quality fine
art reproductions produced using a sophisticated inkjet printing
method that provides subtle gradations and fine colour accuracy.
The larger images offered here are produced by Redcliffe Fine
Art Printing Services of Bristol. They use the very finest Hahnemühle
digital fine art paper and print at 1200 dpi using a 12 colour
LUCIA pigment ink system that gives superb colour accuracy, excellent
colour graduation, expression and accuracy with the broadest
colour gamut in its class. I have decided that these should not be made as limited editions for the reason that a completely handmade print has to be kept as a limited edition because the quality will diminish the more prints that are taken from the block or plate. I have seen Japanese woodblock prints where the later images have lost much of the original crispness of the detail. This does not apply to digital images, which remain constantly sharp and precise, so to make them limited editions seems rather false. All these prints, however, will be signed and dated and the larger ones will come with a guarantee of authenticity. The larger prints are available from PicassoMio. The smaller prints on SA3 paper are printed by myself on Crane's Museo papers using an Epson Stylus R1800 printer using an equally fine pigmented ink. All the papers used are 100% acid free, with a neutral pH. |

picture on this
page (opens a separate window) is available from me on SA3
paper, 13x19." You can request either Silver Rag or Velina
and I will do them to order. The oils and acrylics to my mind
look better on Silver Rag, a satin paper which enhances the colours
used in the original painting. The watercolours mostly look better
on Velina finish, although some of the fruits can look better
on a satin paper. The pen and ink drawings look at their best
on Silver Rag. . All the prints are signed titled. . How to order an SA3 print: Now, I'm not making things easy here, but if you really want something, you'll do it! The thing is, I don't like having buttons everywhere. Go to the individual page of your preferred print, by clicking on the thumbnail and copy and past the image title onto an email to send to me. The price of a print on SA3 paper is £75 plus postage, either by Interparcel for next day delivery to most places if required, or Royal Mail in the UK. There will be a 10% discount for three or more. . I will send you a return email with a paypal button which you can click for payment. You don't need a paypal account to use this. Once I have received notification of the money, I will send the print or prints. Larger prints of some works and some original paintings may be purchased from here: http://www.picassomio.com/sarah-longlands/exhibition.html but since they have gone out of business they will refer you to me, where you can purchase at about 30% less than on their site. . . |
