Prints - Stock Photography and Fine Art Prints by Bill Grant

Prints are available in the following formats. To order go to Order Print or to Order Digital Image.

Photographic Prints are created using the Chromira photographic printer, which uses LEDs to expose the image onto type C photographic paper. The photo paper is then processed in RA-4 chemistry to create a continuous-tone, true photographic print. The Chromira is different from inkjet printers because it exposes photographic paper (no ink is involved). The exposed paper is Fuji Crystal Archive which creates a high-resolution true photographic print with clean vibrant colors and has an archival lightfastness rating of 100 years.

Photos are printed full frame without any of the cropping that occurs with 8 x 10, 11 x 14, and 16 x 20 photographs. Photos are printed with approximately 1/4 inch white borders. Mats and frames are not included as those are more of a personal preference.

Oil Impression on Canvas prints are digitally painted to create an oil painting impression that when printed to canvas creates a very realistic textured print. They are printed with a high resolution, wide format inkjet printer. Special pigment based archival inks are used that are specially designed for art reproduction. Extremely tiny droplets of ink are sprayed on the canvas at very high resolution to give the print fine detail and quality.

The canvas print is then sealed by a special laminate that makes the canvas print water resistant, smudge-proof, and protects it from UV radiation. This makes glass covering unnecessary and keeps the canvas print from fading for over 100 years. The canvas print is then stretched by hand around the sides of stretcher bars and stapled in the back, which hides the staples from view. A sawtooth hanger is then attached to the back and gives you the option of hanging the canvas on your wall as is.

Here are a few examples to illustrate what the oil impression type of print looks like. If you would like to preview a specific photo with this effect send me an email at:
