Aurora Borealis and Comet NEOWISE over Crystal Lake

Railroad Point Natural Area, Benzie County, Michigan

In the summer of 2020, those of us in the northern parts of the United States were lucky to have good views of Comet NEOWISE in the night sky for a few weeks. One night in particular, we got extremely lucky as the conditions were right for the aurora borealis to appear briefly at the same time in our northern sky. It was truly magical to experience this once-in-a-lifetime combination!

Wall-Ready: Canvas Gallery Wrap

Our Canvas Gallery Wraps are printed directly onto archival quality canvas with 200-year archival pigment inks with a glossy protective finish. The canvas is then stretched over wooden stretcher bars and finished with a wire for hanging on your wall. We do have some floater frame options and other finishing options available on a custom basis – if you’d like to know more, please contact us. Learn more about our Canvas Gallery Wraps on our Fine Art Prints page.

Wall-Ready: Aluminum Metal Prints

Unlike all of our other print types, which are printed using pigment inks applied to the surface of the substrate, our Aluminum Prints are made using a dye sublimation process and a specially coated sheet of aluminum. Through this process, the image is actually infused into the metal, not just applied to the surface, giving these prints an amazing depth and clarity. The waterproof surface is scratch resistant and very easy to clean and disinfect. We also have some frame and alternative display options available for these prints, so please contact us if you’d like to know more about what options are available. Learn more about our Aluminum Metal Prints on our Fine Art Prints page.

Wall-Ready: Acrylic Print

Our Face-mounted Acrylic Prints are the top-of-the-line print presentation we offer and they are truly remarkable. They start off as a high resolution photographic print which is then mounted to the back of a 1/8" thick sheet of top-quality polished acrylic on top and backed with a sheet of rigid aluminum composite Dibond material for stability. The finished product is essentially a frameless framed photo - a stunning, high resolution photo protected and enhanced by being mounted to museum-grade acrylic. The acrylic layer adds depth and character to these unique prints. We also have some frame and alternative display options available for these prints, so please contact us if you’d like to know more about what options are available.

Framer-Ready: Lustre Photo Paper

Our Lustre photo paper prints are what you think of when you imagine a photographic print – a smooth, photographic paper with a very slightly pebbled texture. This is our default photographic paper and handles nearly every type of image well and will have a standard photo look and feel. We use a top-shelf photographic paper and strongly recommend this paper if you are unsure of which paper to choose – these are the safe, standard choice for a photographic print.

Framer-Ready: Metallic Photo Paper

Our Metallic photo paper prints are made using a specialty photographic paper with a metallic sheen to it. These metallic layers in the paper add depth and interest, especially in images with lots of color and contrast. This is an excellent choice for most imagery and adds a wow-factor to already great photographs.

Framer-Ready: Watercolor Fine Art Paper

Our Watercolor photo paper prints are made using a thick, cotton-based fine art paper with a fair amount of texture to it. The printed image looks less like a photograph, and more like a watercolor painting when using this surface. This can cause a perceived reduction in sharpness, but gives a more painterly feel in exchange. This works well when you want a photograph that looks more like a painting and with a toothier, more textured finish.
