The Print
The finest color photographic paper the world has ever seen is our exclusive medium of choice for printing John Richter’s Masterpiece Collection. Fuji Crystal Archive™ is available in several forms, however one variety outshines all of the competition. This dazzling paper is called Fujiflex™ Silver Halide and it is the only professional grade paper of the Crystal Archive Collection. With a minimum lifetime expectancy of 60 years you can rest assured that this investment will outlast most of our lives. Our enhanced encapsulated mounting system takes that 60 years and easily doubles it making this an heirloom your family will treasure for many generations! These days we are inundated with a lot of pretty pictures, but John Richter brings you true masterpieces printed in Artisan tradition on our generation only truly collectible medium. This is the clear difference that distinguishes Richter Fine Art Photography from the masses.
The Acrylic
Our photographs are the best in the business and to offer anything but the best acrylics to protect your masterpiece would be a compromise we are not willing to take. Unlike our competitors, Richter Fine Art Photography offers only premium Conservation UV™ acrylic and Museum™ acrylic to mount our photographs. These acrylics were developed specifically for the art industry and offer 98% and 99% UV filtering respectively. This protection is unmatched in the industry and John Richter is the only photographer in this field to offer such impeccable quality. Our competitors have chosen to cut there cost by using commercial grade Lexan™ over the fine art acrylic. These inexpensive products have not been tested for yellowing over time, scratch easily, and offer a pathetic 78% UV protection that compromises the print from the moment it is exposed to light! Further, John Richter is the only photographer in the world offering Museum™ acrylic as a mounting option. This acrylic has the highest UV standard available effectively filtering 99% of UV light. Available as an upgrade for numbered editions and standard with our AP series, Museum™ acrylic is also the only product of its kind to offer a reflection control that has no distortion to the image whatsoever. Finally, the Optium™ coating on our Museum™ acrylic gives this product a hardened glass-like surface that prevents scratching keeping your artwork protected no matter what the world throws at it! From reflection solutions to UV protection, no other brand can compete with Richter Fine Art Photography.
Reflection Solutions
We are the only company offering true reflection solutions so you can get the most out of your fine art photograph! We offer two unique reflection solutions sure to enhance the viewing experience with your new print.
Conservation UV™ non-glare
Our UZ acrylic is available in a glossy or non-glare finish. While the glossy is the first choice of the artist, sometimes reflection can pose a problem. That is why we offer the non-glare version of our UV acrylic. This product has a matte or flat finish and is the most effective product for eliminating reflection no matter what the challenge.
Museum™ acrylic
Our Museum™ acrylic is the only non-glare acrylic that does not distort or soften the image while controlling reflection. Your print will have the same luster and sharpness of the glossy UV acrylic with the added protection and viewing enhancements that only Museum™ acrylic can offer.
Mounting
Each photograph is mounted by the finest professional team of photo finishers in the business. Using an optically clear and acid free adhesive we can achieve a viewing experience that is second to none in today’s competitive market. The Silver Halide photographs are sealed directly to the acrylic eliminating any exposure to the degrading elements found in our atmosphere and completely shielded from harmful UV rays behind the world’s finest acrylics. The rear of the photograph is also sealed with a specially designed backing material resulting in a completely encapsulated environment ensuring your photograph long exceeds its minimum lifetime expectancy of 60 years.
