2025 San Diego County Fair Photo Exhibit "Print Special"

---

• Printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Professional Photographic Paper using the ultimate in photographic printers, the LightJet.  This is NOT an inkjet printer - We Print with Light, not Ink!

• Flush Mounted on 3/16" Black Gatorfoam for a finished size of 16" x 20".

• For long-lasting protection, your print is over-laminated with an optically-clear protective Glossy or Satin surface.

• Price includes prepping your image to be artistically "centered" on a 16x20 black or white background, with a small pinstripe, if desired - this essentially creates a "Digital Matte" (i.e. 11x17 on 16x20).  Please note that the "Digital Matte" is not a Physical Artboard Matte ...

• If you like the way a “Metal” print looks & displays, with its 3-dimensional look & sense of “presence”, then you’re going to love these Acrylic Facemounts.  

• But the comparison with Metal prints stops there:  they’re not ink dots sprayed on a substrate (like a Metal print), but a continuous-tone highest-quality photograph created using light, not ink.

• Then, your prints are mounted with the emulsion (image) side of the print facing the optically clear 1/8” Acrylic – hence the name “facemount” - you’re actually looking through the acrylic to see the image, and the look is breathtaking!

• Price: $139 per image -  plus sales tax, where applicable         

              (Price does not include file enhancement work or Master File Creation, if necessary - see below)
      

               Did you have multiple images accepted?                

                     2 to 4 images - $129 each print              

                     5 or more images - $119 each print

• Turnaround Time: 7 to 10 working days

_______________

• Although I'll be more than happy to make suggestions and consult on image size, enhancement, impact, etc., all necessary enhancement & digital prep work for your original image should be completed prior to uploading - see "preflight" guidelines by clicking here ...

• If this is not your "thing" & your image needs enhancing for the best possible print, then I've got your covered with my  "Master File Creation Fair Special": 

• $10 to $35 per image

• The price depends on the amount of work necessary - regardless of the original file format - good with this Print Special Only!

_______________
