Description
“Pelagic Cormorant”
This mating Pelagic Cormorant spotted in Northwest Washington’s ocean coast was flying in to land on the cliffs. Walking by a very large sea stack on Ruby Beach, I observed large numbers of these cormorants flying around the sea stack and landing on the beach facing side of the cliffs. Pulling up my long telephoto lens I watched as the cormorants were plucking the grasses on the edge of the cliffs and flying around to the ocean facing side of the sea stack with clumps of grass in their bills presumably building their nests. The cormorants nest in colonies. Males find a nesting location and collect the materials to build it. During the building, the female stays at the nest guarding the fresh nesting supplies from other cormorants. Generally, Pelagic Cormorants build nests facing the ocean instead of shore for privacy and protection. The cormorants will fly up to 25 miles a day gathering food for their young and will dive up to depths of 120′ for fish and crustaceans.

What canvas material do you use?
We use the highest quality, artist-grade canvas designed for durability and exceptional print quality, ensuring vibrant colors and sharp details. Each canvas is sprayed with a protective satin varnish.
How do you handle the edges of canvas prints?
We utilize mirrored edges for our canvas prints, which means the sides of the canvas will reflect the outer edges of your photo. This approach ensures the main image remains fully visible on the front, without any cropping or loss of important details on the edges.
How are your canvas prints mounted or stretched?
Our canvas prints are professionally stretched over 1.5″ wooden stretcher bars to ensure a tight, crisp display, and they arrive ready to hang.
Metal prints are a popular choice for printing photographs because of their incredible quality. Unlike traditional printing methods that use paper or canvas, metal prints are created by infusing dyes directly into a sheet of aluminum. This creates a vibrant and durable print that is resistant to fading, moisture, and fingerprints.
One of the biggest advantages of metal prints is the vividness of the colors. The metallic surface of the print reflects light in a way that enhances the vibrancy of the colors, making them appear more vivid and intense than traditional prints. The result is a print that has a distinctive and eye-catching look that is sure to stand out in any room.
Another factor that contributes to the quality of metal prints is their durability. Unlike paper or canvas, aluminum is a durable and long-lasting material that can withstand the test of time. Metal prints are resistant to fading, moisture, and fingerprints, ensuring that they will look just as stunning years from now as they do today.
Finally, metal prints are easy to clean and maintain. Unlike traditional prints that can be difficult to clean and may require special cleaning products, metal prints can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. This makes them a low-maintenance option for those who want a stunning print that will last for years to come.
In conclusion, the quality of metal prints is truly incredible. From their vivid colors to their durability and low-maintenance, metal prints are an excellent choice if you are looking for a high-quality print that will stand the test of time.

ACRYLIC DETAILS
One of the main advantages of acrylic prints is their exceptional clarity and depth. The high-gloss finish of the acrylic material enhances the vibrant colors and sharp details of the image, creating a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect. This makes acrylic prints ideal for showcasing photography, fine art, and other high-resolution images.
Acrylic prints are also incredibly durable and long-lasting. Unlike traditional prints that can fade over time, acrylic prints are resistant to fading, water damage, and other environmental factors. They are also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring that your images remain in pristine condition for many years to come.
Additionally, acrylic prints are lightweight and easy to install. They come with a sturdy backing that can be hung on a wall or displayed on a stand, making it simple to add a touch of beauty to any room in your home or office.

How it’s Made: Our acrylic prints consist of a metallic photo paper mounted between layers of crystal clear adhesives and acrylic. They are made in our cleanroom with a very labor intensive process for each of the 5 layers. Every acrylic print is machine cut with a CNC machine which produces a satin, machine cut edge. The prints are then finished off with a black reccessed hanger system, included with all the necessary hanging hardware.
