Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

I think your term, "Photographic Art Print.", seems more appropriate. It has
been so long I can't remember where
Renaissance Art  came from.  I do remember the Gicclee' name came from some
pro photo articles in different mags.
which is probably where the other came from.
Maybe I should explain something else. I have two large framed Iris prints
on watercolor paper in my studio.
One was made in Washington State and the other by an artist/photographer in
Calif. I have more money in one of these prints than any other print I have
had made. Thousands! While the price list I sent you is valid, I have never
sold an Iris print because I was afraid of spending a bunch of money on
something that I was not sure how long it would last. People tell me that
they love the medium, they are beautiful prints, but I tell them that it is
not for sale now. I could just see paying  hundreds of dollars for something
that a client might not like and I had to eat it, or coming back in a few
years with problems that I again had to pay hundreds of dollars to solve.
With the pro lab that I use, if there is a problem or even if  I just think
there is a problem, they take care of it at no charge.

Regards,

John in Okc
