| Printing Observations | All works are mastered in 16-bit color depth. Standard web formats are unable to retain the full depth of this data; consequently, the physical print will differ from the digital preview. While the online image is optimized for fast loading, the printing process utilizes the original 16-bit edit, allowing for deeper saturations and subtle chromatic shifts to emerge that are lost during compression for web displaying. |
