PRINTING PROCESS

Candela Fine Art - San Francisco, California

All of Beau’s artworks are produced by Candela Fine Art in San Francisco, California. Candela is a highly regarded printer of archival pigment prints. They work with the leading galleries in America and some of the most recognized contemporary artists and photographers.

Their proprietary printing process employs technology that transcends generic digital prints by allowing for bespoke allocations of the 12 ink cartridges within the Canon drum printer. All prints are on 315gsm Hahnemühle photo rag Baryta paper and varnished after processing to give both endurance and sheen.

Pre-printing, the film negatives are drum scanned to ensure the finest quality and highest resolution. We use the Heidelberg Tango for all of Beau's fine artwork scans. Each drum scan is performed professionally to retain each film negative's delicate highlights, deep shadow details, smooth gradients, and excellent grain rendition. The results are scans that are clean and sharp, without feeling like the scans have been sharpened with a filter like most digital photographs. These scans are the absolute best for fine art archival prints.

MOUNTING & FRAMING

Beau’s prints are all mounted and framed in a quality that compliments the artwork. Mounts are hand-made and finished with a 1.5-2 inch contemporary black frame including a fabric liner. All prints framed worldwide are consistent with this style.

* We endeavor to frame locally where possible and have a number of trusted framers in the US. Prints can be purchased unframed upon request.
