David J Dale Photography can work with you to produce prints on a range of print medium.  Below are descriptions for three common options:  Semi-matte, acrylic, and metal.  If you would like to explore a special request either in terms of sizing or print medium, please reach out as we would be more than happy to review options and pricing with you!

Epson Premium Semi-matte Prints:  Resin coated photographic paper with actual print on a semi-matte (low gloss) surface.  It has the highest color gamut available for vivid color reproductions with durable photographic finish.  Highly saturated, high resolution images are displayed on an elegant, understated semimatte finish that minimizes glare, while maximizing presentation quality.  Pricing includes print only.   Happy to discuss different finishes or framing, if you are interested.

Metal Prints:   Photos are produced on aluminum metal panels that are sharp, brilliant, and vibrant.  Metal prints are sublimated directly into the coating on the panel and are extremely durable.  Prints will be a glossy finish by default.  Typically, the hanging mechanism is either a 3/4 inch inset with french cleat or 1/2" float mount.  If you are interested in discussing whether there are different hanging options or print finishes for your metal print, please reach out by phone or email as we would be happy to review with you.

Acrylic Prints:  Acrylic Prints are high resolution inkjet prints mounted seamlessly to a brilliant sheet of plexiglass.  Acrylic's clarity and substantial feel is an impressive way to elevate an image.  There are a variety of options in terms of print thickness, print finishes, and hanging options for acrylic prints.  Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to review and discuss custom sizes or print options.
