we all bleed the same color - fine art museum quality black and white print

What is an Archival Print?

The term “archival print” is frequently used to describe photographic prints of sufficient quality to persist for generations without fading or deterioration. Our fine art archival, museum quality prints are printed using the finest pigment-based inks on acid-free cotton rag paper. These prints will resist fade for centuries if preserved properly and shielded from UV rays via "glazing" such as UV or Museum Glass.

We offer true museum quality fine art photographic prints
The investment in quality photographic prints, especially in a large scale or larger sizes, represents true value. The cost of true archival quality prints is easily justified and obvious as the years pass and the print remains in the exact same condition as the day it was initially placed on display. The archival quality of our fine art prints is assured, just as it was in the darkroom years ago, by using the finest quality print materials.

The Photographer

Fine Art Photography of Skip Gleichmann

We are Archival Prints, featuring the fine art photography of Skip Gleichmann. We offer high quality museum quality prints on premium print media.
Our images are from film and digital media and other superior quality, sharpness, color balance, contrast and detail. All of our large print files are prepared digitally for printing and publication by the artist to convey his individual vision of the captured subject.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality prints with museum quality archival properties. Our goal is to provide photographic prints that endure, will not fade and that can be enjoyed for generations. Our prints are made by master print-makers and our quality is guaranteed. We also offer archival framing services or free advice on framing, glazing and protecting your museum quality print.

On this site, our prints are available as limited edition editions, signed, numbered and include signed certificates of authenticity. These images represent a small fraction of the tens of thousands of images in the artist’s catalog of scanned film and those digitally captured. Many images are available for limited commercial licensing by agreement as well.

Our ink of choice is currently Epson Ultachrome Pro 12 which offers the widest color gamut in its class with a 99% match of the Pantone Formula Guide. This new pigment based ink allows for industry-leading print permanence with up to 200 years color and 400 plus years in black & white. With proper glazing (glass) such as "Museum Glass" or other UV blocking the longevity of Prints can be nearly infinite.
