| Image Permanence |
|
| As mentioned above, Doug Remien Photography uses only the most archival photographic papers available. Ultrachrome pigment paper is rated to last at least 60 years without UV protection, and over 200 years with UV protection. The museum lamination Doug uses provides 97% UV protection thereby increasing the longevity of your images. Each photograph is further protected by using only archival acid-free materials to mount, mat and frame the final product. |

| Limited Editions |
|
| What's a limited edition? |
| Limited editions arose in the art world primarily from lithographs or etchings made from a master plate or stone. A master plate could make only one size and after the edition was completed the plate was destroyed. In theory a limited edition would create a since of scarcity, that driven by the law of supply and demand, could elevate the price of the artwork. In today’s photographic world, theory and actual practice are far apart. Any increase in Doug’s prices during the course of an edition’s life is a reflection of increased costs rather than which number in an edition is being sold. So whether you’re purchasing number one or number 500 rest assured his prices will be the same relative to product costs. |
| What's Doug Remien Photography's policy? |
| Each laminated photograph is limited by edition and each photo is numbered as well as signed on the photograph by Doug Remien. The edition number refers to the number of photographic prints from the original transparency relative to size. After all numbers of an edition are sold, that image will never again be printed as a photograph, making your limited edition photograph distinctly different from the mass produced alternative. Doug Remien does however reserve the right to use the original transparency for production of other non-photographic products such as posters or note cards. Included with every image is a "Certificate of Authenticity", documenting Doug Remien Photography's limited edition policy.
Non-laminated images, also known as matted images, are signed and numbered as open editions with no set limit for their printing. Doug Remien has separate policies for the different products because there is in fact a physical distinction in the printing processes of the laminated and framed versions verses the smaller matted versions. Laminated images are printed on glossy paper and at a 2880 dpi while the matted images are printed on luster paper at 1440 dpi. The result is the laminated images are slightly sharper and have a broader color gamut.
