Our Portrait Finishes…
The Basic
For the budget minded. The Basic finish is a coat of semi-matte lacquer applied to all photographs 4x5 and larger.
The Classic
The Classic presentation is the most popular finish. All portraits 4x5 and larger are first lacquered and finally given a turtle shell hard subtle textured surface which resists scratches and moisture and needs no glass. 8x10s and larger are mounted on art board. The Classic is the recommended finish and carries our lifetime guarantee.
The Master
For the discriminating customer! The elegance of the Master Canvas represents the ultimate in portrait finishing. The photo is bonded to artist's canvas under pressure so intense that the threads of the canvas show through . The canvased portrait is then mounted to Masonite OR affixed to a stretcher frame ( your choice) then lacquered with several coats of lustre lacquer to give it the appearance of Old Masters artwork! Truly a masterpiece presentation.
