Glass Prints - A Unique Product

These are very unique art pieces that can be displayed both by front lighting and back lighting. The back lighting creates a very magical effect that can transform the image. The image is actually fused right into the glass during the tempering stage and is essentially permanent - even if displayed outdoors in direct sunlight. The glass prints can be framed with regular moldings offered in the Interactive Framing Room or we can drill the glass prior to printing to enable the use of metal standoffs for a frameless display. The prints can also be inset into the wall with back lighting - a very effective display option. Ask Michael about the availability of edge lit LED light sheets for the lighting.

We can produce glass prints up to approximately 5'x7' in a variety of glass thicknesses

Glass Prints - Production and Characteristics

• Produced under close supervision of Michael Easton to achieve highest quality for this unique medium: 
  • Image is printed directly on glass using light resistant high temperature ceramic dyes.
  • The glass is ultra-clear (since it is low iron) and is tempered to fix the dyes into the glass. 
  • The image is printed on the back of the glass to maximize contrast and clarity. 
  • Printed on a 54" wide DIP glassjet printer.
  • The Print:
    • In comparison to my Fine Art Paper and Canvas Prints, the glass prints: 
      • Have similar dynamic range in black and white.
      • Do not have the same range of colour gamut (reds, purples, cyan, bright colours are difficult to capture) for colour prints. For glass print colour range, earth tones reproduce the best. Since this new technology is constantly being improved, the range of colour gamut rendered may increase in time. 
      • Can be hung with or without a frame (using stand-off edge clips). 
      • Can be backlit using a lightbox or LED light sheets.
      • Available in glass thicknesses ranging from 6mm and up.
      • Can be predrilled for installation requirements.
      • Edge finishing of the glass is available in a variety of styles.
      • Signed and numbered digitally on the lower right side of the print
      • Is virtually unaffected by UV light even in full sunlight and thus is archival for 1000's of years. 
      • Is unaffected by:
        • moisture
        • most household cleaning products
        • most industrial chemicals
        • climatic extremes of temperature
