About the Prints

What is an acrylic-mounted photography print?

An acrylic-mounted print is produced by printing your photograph on archival photographic paper and then face-mounting it behind a sheet of museum-grade optical acrylic. This process is fundamentally different from a direct acrylic print — where ink is printed directly onto the acrylic surface — which produces a flatter result with a significantly reduced color gamut.

Acrylic-mounted prints capture far more color and tonal detail than any direct-to-acrylic process, and the optical acrylic on top adds depth, luminosity, UV protection, and scratch resistance. When you hear someone describe a print as “looking like it glows from within” — this is the process they experienced. It is the gold standard for fine art photography prints and the process used by the finest photography galleries in the world.

What is TruLife acrylic — and why does it matter?

TruLife is a museum-grade optical acrylic manufactured to proprietary specifications specifically for fine art photography display.

TruLife Acrylic — Key Properties

  • UV Protection: Up to 50 years of UV protection — your print will not fade
  • Anti-Glare Coating: Eliminates reflections across all lighting conditions
  • Scratch Resistance: Durable enough for any environment
  • Optical Clarity: Renders color depth, shadow detail, and highlight luminosity at maximum quality

When a photograph is face-mounted behind TruLife acrylic, the image appears to glow from within — a luminous quality that no canvas, metal, or standard glass print can replicate. This is why collectors who have owned both invariably consider TruLife acrylic-mounted the superior choice.

The Lumachrome HD process used for Eddie Jongas’s prints represents the finest application of TruLife technology available — the same process used in some of the world’s most prestigious photography galleries.

What print surfaces does Eddie Jongas offer?

Three surfaces are available — each with a different look, feel, and application.

TruLife Acrylic-Mounted (Lumachrome HD) — the premium choice. Museum-grade optical acrylic face-mounted over archival photographic paper. The finest result available. Recommended for living spaces, offices, and any interior where maximum visual impact matters. This is the surface that defines the Jongas Fine Art Photography collection.

Metal Prints (Dye Sublimation). The image is infused directly into an aluminum panel using heat and pressure. Exceptionally vivid color, sharp edge detail, and a contemporary feel. More durable in environments with humidity or temperature variation — a strong choice for kitchens, bathrooms, commercial spaces, and hospitality interiors.

Canvas Prints. A painterly, traditional surface that suits rustic, farmhouse, traditional, and beach-house interiors. The texture of the canvas gives the image a softer quality that complements certain subjects — particularly landscapes, botanicals, and nature photography — in the right environment.

What sizes are available?

Fine art photography prints are available from 16x24 inches up to 40x120 inches depending on the image. Select panoramic photography prints are available up to 60x120 inches — one of the largest fine art photography print sizes available from any independent photographer.

Available sizes for each specific print are shown on the individual product pages. If you need a custom size for a commercial or hospitality installation, contact Eddie Jongas directly.

How do I choose the right size for my wall?

Size is the decision most buyers get wrong. The most common mistake is ordering too small — a 20x30 inch print on a 12-foot wall disappears.

Size Guidelines by Space

  • Standard living room wall (10–14 ft wide): A print between 48 and 80 inches wide. The print should occupy approximately two-thirds of the wall it’s displayed on.
  • Sofa wall (8–10 ft wide): A print between 40 and 60 inches wide. Panoramic format works especially well above furniture where the horizontal proportion echoes the sofa line.
  • Large commercial or hotel space: Prints from 72 to 120 inches wide create the immersive scale that transforms a space rather than merely decorating it.

Before ordering, tape kraft paper or newspaper to your wall at the intended dimensions — this is the most reliable way to visualize exactly how the print will feel at that scale in your actual space.


Limited Editions & Authenticity

What is a limited edition print — and why does it matter?

A limited edition print is one produced in a strictly capped quantity. Once the edition sells out, that image is permanently retired — it will never be reprinted in that surface and size again. This is not a marketing claim — it is a legal and ethical commitment that defines the value of the work as a collectible.

Limited edition photography prints at Jongas Fine Art Photography are available in editions ranging from 50 to 200 prints depending on the image. The Only One Collection takes this further — each of those images exists as a single print, ever. One edition. One collector.

The edition is the edition. When the last copy of any print sells, it is permanently gone.

“When the last copy of any print sells, it is permanently gone — a legal and ethical commitment that defines the value of the work as a collectible.”

What does the Certificate of Authenticity include?

Every print ships with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) mailed separately. The COA carries a tamper-proof numbered security seal that matches an identical seal on the print itself — confirming your print as a numbered original from an authenticated limited edition. This documentation is what distinguishes a collectible fine art print from a reproduction, and what maintains the value of the work over time.

Certificate of Authenticity — Contents

  • Image Title: The complete title of the work
  • Edition Number: Your copy number and the total edition size
  • Print Details: Surface type and dimensions
  • Date of Production: When the print was produced
  • Artist Signature: Eddie Jongas’s personal signature

How do I know my print is authentic?

Every print sold through jongasfineartphotography.com is authenticated through three layers.

Three Layers of Authentication

  1. Artist Signature — signed personally by Eddie Jongas on the print
  2. Edition Number — marked on the print showing your copy number within the total edition
  3. Tamper-Proof Security Seal — a numbered seal on the print that matches the identical numbered seal on your separately mailed Certificate of Authenticity

If these three elements are present and consistent, your print is a verified original.

What is the Only One Collection?

The Only One Collection is the most exclusive tier in the Jongas Fine Art Photography catalog. Each image in this collection is produced as a single edition — one print, ever, in each available surface and size. Once sold, the image will never be reproduced in any form.

These are the prints for the serious collector — equivalent in scarcity to owning an original painting rather than a numbered print. Contact Eddie Jongas directly to arrange a private viewing of any Only One work before purchasing.


Ordering & Payment

How do I place an order?

Browse the fine art photography collections, click any print you are interested in, select your preferred surface and size from the options shown, and proceed to checkout. If you have questions before ordering — about the right size for your space, the right surface for your interior style, or any aspect of the work itself — contact Eddie Jongas directly. He is personally available to discuss your purchase seven days a week.

What payment methods are accepted?

All major credit cards are accepted — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Secure payment processing is standard on all transactions. For large commercial orders or custom projects, alternative payment arrangements can be discussed directly.

Can I cancel my order?

Cancellations can be accepted within 24 hours of placing an order — before production begins. Because each print is custom-produced to your specific order, cancellations cannot be processed once production has commenced. Contact Eddie Jongas immediately at the contact page if you need to cancel.

Do you offer custom sizes for commercial projects?

Yes — custom sizing is available for commercial, hospitality, and corporate installations. Contact Eddie Jongas with your specific space dimensions and the image you are interested in. Large-scale commercial commissions can be produced in widths up to 120 inches and beyond for the right project.


Shipping & Delivery

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is free on all orders to all 50 states — regardless of print size, surface, or quantity. This applies to every order, every time. No minimum order required.

International shipping is available to most countries for an additional fee. Contact Eddie Jongas for international rates before ordering.

How are prints packaged for shipping?

Every print is custom-packaged at the time of shipping. Large format panoramic photography prints and TruLife acrylic-mounted prints are built into custom protective crating specific to the dimensions of each order. Standard prints are shipped in reinforced flat packaging designed to prevent any flex, vibration, or corner impact during transit. Shipping carriers handle these packages as fragile freight — the crating is designed to communicate value and ensure careful handling.

How long does production and delivery take?

Production & Delivery Timelines

  • TruLife Acrylic-Mounted (Lumachrome HD): 4 to 6 weeks from order to delivery. Each print is custom-produced when ordered — this is not a warehoused product pulled from inventory.
  • Metal Prints: 2 to 3 weeks from order to delivery.
  • Canvas Prints: 2 to 4 weeks from order to delivery.
  • Certificate of Authenticity: Ships separately by mail. Typically arrives within 1 to 2 weeks of the print.

All shipments include tracking. You will receive tracking information when your order ships.


Returns & Damage

What is the returns policy?

Because every limited edition fine art photography print is custom-produced to order — not pulled from existing inventory — returns and exchanges cannot be offered on Limited Edition and Only One prints.

Please review the image, dimensions, print surface, and available sizes carefully before ordering. If you would like to see a print in person before purchasing, gallery viewings are available by appointment in Las Vegas, Nevada. Contact Eddie Jongas to arrange.

What if my print arrives damaged?

Every shipment is fully insured. A replacement print will be produced and shipped at no cost to you. Damage during shipping is uncommon due to the custom crating process, but it is fully covered when it occurs.

If Your Print Arrives Damaged — Steps to Take

  1. Photograph all visible damage — to the print, the packaging, and the crating
  2. Contact Eddie Jongas within 7 days of delivery with the photographs
  3. Do not discard any original packaging — it may be required for the insurance claim

Installation & Care

How do I hang a TruLife acrylic-mounted print?

TruLife acrylic-mounted prints arrive with a French cleat mounting system pre-installed on the back. Professional installation is strongly recommended for prints over 30 inches in any dimension. For prints over 48 inches wide, wall studs are required for safe, long-term mounting — drywall anchors alone are not sufficient for large format work.

Installation Steps

  1. Locate wall studs using a stud finder (required for prints over 30 inches wide)
  2. Install two appropriately sized screws at the correct spacing
  3. Lift the print onto the cleats — it hooks into place and hangs flush against the wall

How do I care for and clean a TruLife acrylic print?

TruLife acrylic-mounted prints require minimal maintenance. With basic care, a TruLife acrylic-mounted landscape photography print or any fine art photography print will look as good in fifty years as the day it arrived.

Cleaning & Care Guidelines

  • Use: A clean, soft microfiber cloth only. For smudges, dampen with an ammonia-free, alcohol-free cleaning solution (eyeglass cleaner works well).
  • Never use: Paper towels, rough cloths, or abrasive materials of any kind.
  • Never use: Products containing ammonia, alcohol, or solvents — these will permanently damage the optical coating.
  • Never: Spray liquid directly onto the acrylic surface.

Does the print need special lighting?

TruLife acrylic-mounted prints respond exceptionally well to picture lighting — warm directional light enhances the luminous quality of the acrylic and makes the print appear to glow from within. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade any print regardless of UV protection over extended periods. LED picture lighting mounted above the print at a 30-degree angle is the ideal display setup for maximum visual impact.


The Gallery & About Eddie Jongas

Can I view prints in person before buying?

Yes — gallery viewings are available by appointment in Las Vegas, Nevada. Seeing a TruLife acrylic-mounted print in person — especially at large format sizes — is a genuinely different experience from viewing it on screen. The depth, color richness, and luminosity of the print cannot be fully communicated digitally. Contact Eddie Jongas to arrange a gallery viewing appointment.

What is fine art photography?

Fine art photography is photography created primarily as an artistic expression — where the photographer’s vision, technical mastery, and intentionality produce an image that stands as a work of art rather than a document of a moment. A fine art photograph is distinguished from commercial or editorial photography by its artistic purpose and by the care taken in its production and presentation.

Fine art photography prints are produced to museum standards using archival materials, strictly limited in edition size, authenticated by the artist, and collected both for their aesthetic value and as a form of art investment. They exist in a different category from mass-produced wall decor — the same way an original painting or a numbered print exists in a different category from a poster.
