More Lumachrome prints from Nevada Art Printers are in and on display at The State Bar! The newest addition is freshly mounted up in one of my distressed/rustic cedar frames. These prints are absolutely luminous and overflowing with detail. This is how photos are supposed to look. With the right light, you would think they were back-lit. You can stare at these for ages.



Just a corner detail on my latest framed piece.



A close-up of the level of detail in the Lumachrome print. It's crazy sharp. Feel free to put your face right up to this 40 inch wide print.




For a 40 inch wide print, this Lumachrome acrylic piece is insanely sharp. I love staring at it.



An edge detail of the Lumachrome print. Very clean and contemporary. Not to mention it's oozing with hyper-realism.



The latest addition to the collection. This one could be my favorite piece. The Lumachrome prints is stunning in person. It just seems to glow and draw you in.

Mark Metternich raves about owner and Artist Robert B Park and ourLumachrome HD process

Critical acclaim from Mark Metternich a world class fine art‬ ‪‎photographer‬ who ventures to the extremes for the ultimate expression of his craft. 

Ok, BIG CHANGES happening with Mark Metternich Fine Art Limited Edition Prints! It looks as if I am going to go EXCLUSIVELY with HIGH DEFINITION LUMACHROME PRINTING (Acrylic Mount) for all my work. I spent several hours yesterday with friend and owner of Nevada Art Printers (Las Vegas) Robert B Park and I am now convinced his Proprietary printing method is now the very best in the world. Being a huge advocate of Fuji Flex / Super Gloss (and Ilfochrome /Cibachrome before it) as the VERY BEST way to print and display color landscape, I had a hard time believing anything can top it. I am now convinced this NEW printing method beats Flex in EVERY way.

How does it beat Fuji Flex Crystal Archive (and even more so Metal Prints)?
1. More detail (is that even possible?) than Fuji Flex Super Gloss! I will say it again: MORE detail.
2. Even better 3D Quality!
3. Superior shadow detail and color fidelity.
4. Wider color gamut (wider than Adobe 1998 RGB)!
5. 16 bit printing!
6. Equal to Flex as far as NO Texture or orange-peel effect (when mounted to Acrylic).
7. Over double the archival rate of Flex (this is rated over 120 years)!
8. Able to print ever larger than Flex (flex was limited to 49 inches on its smallest side).
9. WAY, WAY, WAY betters Reds!
10. Unlike Flex, it is awesome for Black and Whites!
Is there any other category to consider (unless you are targeting the lower end of course - which then cost may be more important to you than quality)?
I will be making some serious prints in the month to come and I will keep everyone informed.
