Silver-Gelatin Print Information
With the exception of newly made pictorial prints on Ilford MG Art paper developed in Dektol 1:2, all prints will be on double-weight Ilford MG Classic glossy fibre paper developed in Ansco 103. All prints are fixed twice: first in a sodium thiosulfate bath acidified with sodium metabisulfite; followed by fixing in a plain sodium thiosulfate bath before washing, toning in an alkaline selenium bath, secondary washing, and air drying on fiberglass screens. All prints are dry-mounted on 60 pt. (4-ply), 100% acid and lignin-free, calcium carbonate-buffered, bright white cotton rag boards from Archival Methods in Rochester, New York. The dry mounting tissue will normally be Bienfang ColorMount tissue or an equivalent tissue. The mats are of the same material as the mounts. The backing boards are archival corrugated E-flute boards also supplied by Archival Methods. In all cases, the mounts and backing boards are stamped on the verso with black Sanford ink, and the title of the image, the dates of the negative and print, and negative and print numbers where applicable are written in pencil inside the stamped area on the mount and in pH-neutral ink on the corrugated backing boards. The work is signed on the front in pencil as seen in the example below. All photographs are finished in style 111 matte black aluminum metal-section frames with single-strength glass (silver frames, also in style 111, are available upon request), and a letter containing important information about the print and instructions for its care is included with each photograph.
