INTRODUCTION

Below, you will find my pricelist for prints of images and for images licensed in digital format for multimedia and commercial usage. For printed images, prices vary from £40 for a 16 inch (longest side) print up to £210 for a giant 36 inch stretched canvas on a 45mm stretcher, plus postage.

The images are presented in six galleries - links above, classified by geography and weather-type.

Each gallery consists of a series of thumbnail images. Mouse over them for brief captions. If you click on a thumbnail you will be taken to see an enlargement with a more detailed caption plus options to buy online or email me about an image.

PRINTS

Ordering prints is easy - when viewing any enlargement, you can select medium and print size via two menus and then click "Buy Now". This will take you to PayPal's secure payments site, where you can pay via most credit cards.

Alternatively, click the "Email me about this image" link next to each caption. The subject line of your email to me will then automatically include the item number you are interested in. Please specify media type - Stretched Canvas, Semi-gloss or Matte Fine Art photographic paper. We can then make arrangements for you to pay by cheque or postal order.

For licensed digital images, please email me giving details of intended use. The high-resolution image will be supplied by me in TIFF format at a normal resolution of 300 pixels per inch, either by CD or by email (please note that they are anything upwards of 40 megabytes in size!).

PAYMENT

Payment in full, via credit card/Paypal, by cheque or by postal order, is required prior to an order being printed. When paying by cheque this will involve a slight delay while the cheque clears. My apologies in advance for this but I cannot afford to have an expensive stretched canvas print made and then find that a cheque has been returned, as I am sure you will appreciate!

Turnaround with the printers is at the very most 10-15 days (assuming we have no more Postal Disputes!) and is often considerably less. For details of delivery see immediately below.

DELIVERY

For prints, delivery is by Royal Mail First Class Recorded Signed For (make sure there's someone available to sign!) at £8.50.

For digital Library Image customers, UK delivery is included: it can be by email (not recommended if the intended usage is large-format) or by first-class post on a CD-ROM.

For international enquiries, please contact me by email and I will make enquiries regarding delivery costs and get back to you forthwith!

THE PRINTERS

Image printing is done by Redcliffe Imaging of Bristol onto archival-quality media using top-end longlife pigmented inks. When an order is placed, the lab handles the rest, including postage & packing.

Link to Redcliffe Imaging's website (will open in a new window).

PRICES: FINE ART STRETCHED CANVAS PRINTS

Canvas prints on 100% pure cotton artist canvas (340g/square metre), carefully hand-stretched and secured over a mitred and wedged wooden stretcher frame. Stretched canvas prints can be either gallery wrapped, where the image wraps around the edge of the stretcher or image flush, where the edge of the stretched canvas shows bare white canvas. All print sizes are in inches. The size of the stretcher dictates how far the canvas will stand from your wall.

PRICES: FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS

Printed using the latest imaging equipment and profiling technology with archival quality pigmented inks onto fine art and photo-base papers. The inks are UV stable and offer a lifespan of 100+ years. Choose from 300 gsm Museum Baryte (semi-gloss finish) or 308 gsm Fine Art Photo Rag (absolute matte finish). As sizes of images vary a little (e.g. some 16x10, some 16x12 - see galleries for details), prices are given for the longest side of a print.

These prints are unmounted, as I feel there is such a range of personal tastes when it comes to mounting and framing pictures, and it is therefore best left for the customer to decide!

16 inches: £40.00
20 inches: £50.00
24 inches: £60.00
36 inches: £120.00

IMAGE LICENSING: Images from the slide library are supplied for single use only and must not be used in any other application unless by prior agreement. They must be accredited in writing to John Mason.

COLOUR: Calibration and colour-management have been applied to the equipment and the images throughout the scanning, processing and printing stages of the workflow. However, it is important to understand that many people use computer monitors that have not been colour-calibrated. As a demonstration of this, go into your local electrical superstore and look at the display of tv screens on the back wall. They are usually all displaying the same channel but each set has slight differences in colour, density and contrast. For that reason, it's worth getting your monitor calibrated if colours look a bit "off". This is less of an issue than it used to be, but I thought I'd mention it.
