Dear Friends,

As I push toward 80, I’ll admit I find it easier to stay home and make prints than to go out and take photos. And, as many of you know, one of my joys is making prints on paper, whether my own images or those of others.

To that end, I’m please to let you know that I was recently honored by Canson-Infinity with a Certified Print Lab seal, “…representing expertise in Fine Art printing.” Canson, founded in 1557, has produced some of the world’s finest papers, used by Picasso, Degas, Matisse, Cézanne, Van Gogh and Monet.

Canson says: “The Certified Print Labs are a network of ‘best in class’ studios and boutique labs based around the world. All the partners have completed a technical evaluation and offer the best print quality on Canson Infinity papers, combined with excellent service. The network offers services for photographers, printmakers & artists looking for excellent quality and service.”

Near as I can tell, I’m the only such certified printer between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Personally, I’m delighted because I have favored Canson Infinity and Arches papers for almost two decades now. I like the way their papers take the ink, and the gamut they can handle. Certainly there are other papers I use, but images just seem to look more elegant on Canson papers.

Prints are usually $85 each, and that includes paper, ink, and 30-60 minutes of cleanup, adjusting, and other prep for making an exceptional print.

Please feel free to pass this information along to others who might need my services, and keep me in mind for printing your next show or gallery pieces.

I’ve got a website for this service: https://itstheprint.com

Stay well!

Tracy
