Palladium platinum print
The choice for serious collectors of black and white photography.  Platinum prints are the ultimate expression of bespoke craft printing.  In the hands of a master printer they can provide a unique register of tones and effects bringing unexpected nuances from a negative.  Prints created in this way have an ethereal quality with incredible detail, enhanced by the way the chemicals soak into the fibres of the paper.  They are also light fast and therefore not subject to any form of fading over time. James Sparshatt’s platinum prints are produced by 31 Studio, the UK’s, if not the world’s, leading exponents of this art.

Archival baryta print
For my archival baryta prints we use Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II 340gsm.  This is a beautiful inkjet paper with the aesthetic of a traditional darkroom paper. The paper has a natural white base which is achieved without the use of artificial brightening agents (OBAs). It also has a coating of barium sulphate and a semi-gloss finish which enhance the deep blacks and pure whites and longevity of the image. The paper offers exceptional image quality, detail, and tonal range on a mixed alpha-cellulose and cotton base and is FSC and ISO 9706 certified. Canson has been producing paper for over 450 years and is recognised as a brand of excellence.  It is the world's leading producer of Fine Art paper.

Archival prints on Hahnemuhle rag 308 gsm
Hahnemuhle Photo-Rag 308gsm is a smooth white 100% rag cotton-based fine art inkjet paper and is considered the industry standard for photographers’ professional output.  As a matte paper it is ideal for moody scenes or starry skies, providing gallery-ready prints with distinct textures and exceptional detail preservation for stunning natural images. The paper is acid and lignin-free to meet the most exacting requirements for age resistant archival properties and fine art applications. 

Digital C-Type or Lambda print
A traditional colour photographic print on light sensitive paper (Fuji Crystal archive museum quality), developed by chemical-process but exposed by digital laser.  The process produces prints of vibrant intensity and amazing detail.

UV Clarity Glass
We use a UV protective clear glass to frame all of our work.  Artglass AR 70™ reveals both the true colours and the texture of the art without adding a coloured tint or optical distortions. Its anti-reflective coating reduces unwanted reflections and 70% of damaging UV light.  Artglass has a smooth surface that allows for details to emerge unaltered.   It is highly scratch resistant and easy to clean.

Float framed
The work is mounted raised from the backboard and separated with a space from the moulding.  This gives the effect of the image floating within the frame.

Direct print on brushed aluminium
The image is printed straight on the brushed aluminum surface with UV Fine Art inks.  The surface is then sealed to protect the image from UV light and humidity.  Hanging rails on the reverse make for easy hanging.

Mounted to aluminium with matt UV seal
The photographic print is mounted to an aluminium dibond sheet.  A matt seal of protective film is then applied to the face of the print, helping to minimise damage from scuffing, UV rays and fingerprints.

Acrylic reverse or face mounting
The print is bonded to a clear sheet of UV perspex using a silicon gel technique and then mounted to a backing substrate (aluminium or black perspex).  The refraction of light through the perspex enhances both the prints definition and colour with stunning results as well as protecting the image from scratching and other environmental factors.  The piece comes complete with an aluminium subframe to allow for easy hanging on a wall and to give it an elegant, contemporary feel.
