Affordable
Quality: Our products use quality
materials that are affordably priced yet rich and
distinguished looking. You can be proud to display
and use them for many years to come.
Our prints are made using what is commonly referred to as
"Giclee" process using Archival quality papers and
inks or on Canvass. Some products are printed using
Lithography.
All prints come
framed and most are double matted* with Plexiglas* and
ready to hang using an attractive style that optimizes the
subject matter and is suitable to any decor. Not
only does this protect the Print in handling and shipping, but
enables you to immediately enjoy the beauty of the
images as soon you receive them. Our
volume framing enables us to make these high quality prints
even more affordable.
* Images printed on canvas do not have
Plexiglas or any other covering. |

Made
In America. Whenever possible every component
and process that makes up our products are Made In
America. This includes the printing, paper, inks, frames,
clothing, other materials, assembly, and the subject matter
itself.
Sometimes this may result in slightly higher prices but we
believe it is well worth the cost in added quality and doing
our part to strengthen our nation. |
|
|
|
|
|
We can't promise
that everything we sell will be Made In America, but we can
promise to work as hard as possible to buy American so we can
sell American. We also promise to work as hard and
efficiently as possible in order to give the best overall
value for quality and price. |

Our images are
almost exclusively American in theme because our work is
dedicated to the Men and Women who have served our nation in
defense of our freedom and democracy. |
|
|
|
|
|
We also include
some British imagery in honor of the close relationship
between our countries and the special contribution the
British have made to the defense of freedom and
democracy over many years.
To the extent there may sometimes be scenes that include
images of the "enemy" they are only incidental to
the overall scene. |
|
|
|
Occasionally we use other imagery when
the circumstances warrant. |
|
|
|
Our works are produced
using a variety of state-of-the-art processes that meet
generally accepted standards for "Archival
Quality". However, since this and other
terms are often used by many others for marketing purposes
it is important to understand their real meaning.

"ARCHIVAL
QUALITY"
We strive to use the best combination of paper, ink,
printing methods, and technology to achieve a distinguished
and long lasting image at an affordable price.
We print on heavy grade " Archival Quality"
papers or canvas using archival quality
inks. "Archival Quality"
involves a number of complex issues. A main criteria
for paper being "archival quality" is that it is
"acid free" and in fact most papers are "acid
free". Obviously there are many different types,
thickness, and quality of papers.
There are two broad categories of inks: "Dye
Based" and "Pigment Based". Generally
speaking "Pigment Based" inks tend to be longer
lasting. However, there are many considerations
involving color and other technical considerations that are
important.
There is no exact definition of what actually constitutes
"Archival Quality". The combination of various ink
types, paper types, back materials, the type of printer, and
the number of colors all have an important impact on the
archival quality and image quality. It should
also be noted that the mounting of the image and the
environment in which it is displayed also impacts on the
longevity and appearance.
Additional information on this complex subject can be found
at the Wilhelm Research Institute. |

"GICLEE
PRINT"
Be honest. "Giclee" (from the French word
"to spray") is nothing more then a
marketing term gimmick begun in the early 1990's that simply
means the image is printed on an "ink jet
printer". These days just about everyone has
an ink jet printer and the quality and resolution of even
consumer quality printers can be exceptional. But as
most people know, ink and paper is expensive and getting a
flawless print with the sharp colors and images can often be
challenging, especially as the print size gets larger and
larger. The printer, number of colors and type of inks,
the paper, the software, the operator, and of course the
quality of the original image itself all combine to determine
the quality of the final output. |

"LITHOGRAPHY"
Some of our images and products are produced using a
Lithography printing process. Lithography Is a
method of printing based on the repellent nature of oil and
water. The image is impressed upon a stone or plate
using an oil base. Ink is applied to the plate but
only adheres to the oil. " Offset" printing
is a form of Lithography where the image from the plate is
then applied on to a rubber plate that is then applied to
the paper. When we use Lithography we use
state-of-the-art printers with archival quality inks and
paper. |
