Once I asked someone a question which on reflection I thought to be rather stupid. His answer was "The most stupid question is the one you did not ask"
- How will I receive the print?
Prints are sent in a bubble envelope with a four millimeter MDF stiffening board and protected by acid free paper.
Overseas prints by airmail. Close - How will you send it if I live in New Zealand?
By regular mail - but other options possible by arrangement. Collection also possible if you live nearby and would like to make the journey to Waimauku. Contact me for directions. Close - What about postage?
Apart from Australia and New Zealand, rates are fairly uniform for anywhwere else on the globe. So I have used the lowest possible rate for charging.
If other delivery options are chosen, then postage or courier rates may vary. Close - Will the print I receive look like the one I saw in the Gallery?
Better. I would say. But of course you can’t feel the texture and the grade of the paper and see its sheen, if it has one. It is hard to get that across by means of a photo.
When I take a photo of the print I do it in the shade of available daylight. That against an average colour background so the settings of the digital camera don’t get confused.
But depending of the time of the day and prevailing atmospheric conditions there will still be a possibility of variation in the “ temperature and frequency” of the light. So then I have to do a bit of tweaking in Adobe CS and even then, the setting of your monitor may differ slightly. Summing up, I try to get the colours used in the print and the colour of the paper as near to the real thing as possible. Close - How should I handle a print?
It is good practise to avoid touching the prints with fingers and avoid contact with water, as I use water soluble printing inks, or binders like gum arabic or rice paste in combination with water soluble pigments. Close - How should I frame a print?
Use a matt, sufficiently deep to prevent the printed surface touching the glass. Close
