Creating a line of top quality photographic products designed for beauty and long term durability starts with the printing of the image to be framed in our museum grade materials. All jSparks Photography images are “lab corrected” and printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Digital Paper using archival quality inks and ZBE's Chromira line of products to create stunning and vibrant images that, with proper care, will last for years to come.
jSparks Photography uses high quality anodized aluminum frames by Nielsen because they are the leader in metal picture frames, providing a product that not only enhances the beauty of the photography within but enhances the environment in which the frame is placed. Nielsen creates exceptional frames with lustrous metals, tight joints and invisible acrylic glazes. Nielsen's quality begins with virgin aluminum and ends with each piece polished to perfection. Unparalleled consistency and flawless jewel-like finish...anything less just wouldn't be a Nielsen picture frame. In 1974 the industry was revolutionized when they patented their new corner joining system.
jSparks Photography uses a Bainbridge 8-Ply Artcare™ AlphaRag – 1/8 inch thick, 100% cotton, acis free museum-quality preservation pre-cut mat board between the print and acrylic for every framed print. This mat board is free of ground wood and lignin and is treated with the Bainbridge Artcare™ Archival System with MicroChamber® technology allowing it to actively protect the image from air born pollutants and acid by-products within the picture frame. This reduces yellowing and fading and creates a bleed resistant mat board keeping your artwork looking beautiful for years to come. This is one of the thickest mat boards in the industry providing a beautiful deep bevel that adds depth to the picture frame.
jSparks Photography frames feature high quality, conservation grade, non-glare framing acrylic with 98% UV protection. This acrylic is more optically pure and lighter weight than glass, and is also impact resistant making it safe for use in children’s rooms, sports areas, offices and businesses. The surface is etched to reduce glare, allowing the artwork more visibility in difficult lighting conditions. The UV filtration, providing protection from fading and yellowing, is built into the acrylic so it will not wear off over time. We recommend Craftics microfiber cloth for safe cleaning without scratching.
Make your images a real work of art with jSparks Photography's Canvas Gallery Wraps! All Canvas Gallery Wraps are printed on fine art canvas using a high resolution twelve color Canon ink jet printer. Once dried, the print is then coated with a water-based lacquer coating to give it long-lasting durability. In the final stage, after the coating has fully cured, the canvas is then hand wrapped around a wooden frame. Finally, a hanger is attached to the inner sides of the frame, and the gallery wrap is ready to be displayed.
jSparks Photography now offers fine art printing on Fine Art Canvas! Each image is printed using a Canon 12 color ink jet printer with high quality archival inks. All fine art canvas prints are protected with a special laminate to protect from scuffs, scratches and UV exposure. Fine art prints are available in a variety of standard and square print sizes. This is the same type of canvas used on the Canvas Gallery Wraps, but mounted to different types of boards that can then be framed creating a different look compared to the wraps.
jSparks Photography now offers fine art printing on Somerset Fine Art Paper. Each image is printed using a Canon 12 color ink jet printer with high quality archival inks. Somerset Fine Art has a velvety feel to it lending more texture and presence to your fine art images. The velvety texture allows the ink to bond with it in a different manner than with other types of paper, highlighting the finer points of the image.
