FAQs

Can you tell me about Shannon Marlow du Plessis prints?

I print each photo myself on an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 using Epson UltraChrome K3™ archival quality pigment ink [under glass 108 years – color; 200+ years – B&W]) on conservation grade fine photographic art inkjet papers. 

I inspect and individually sign (recto) every photo with an acid-free pen, and provide a certificate of authenticity. I offer 11″ x 14″ (27.94 cm x 35.56 cm) and 17″ x 22″ (43.18 cm x 55.88 cm) prints, which look very nice in 16″ x 20″ and  22″ x 28″ mats, respectively. Prints ship in an eco-friendly recyclable mailing tube. You will receive an email with a tracking number when your print ships. 

How much do prints cost and how do I purchase them?

Shipping and Payment

Shipping is free in the continental United States. I accept payment via PayPal.

Which organization do you support with donations?

Great question. I donate 100 of image sale profits to KruShan Foundation, where I am VP & Co-Founder, which puts my images at the intersection of art and advocacy. 

Can I get a larger print? 

You bet! Please contact me (info in the page footer) and we will get it done.

I use ON1 Resize, which uses Genuine Fractals® technology (they science the shit out of image resizing using fractal-based interpolation algorithms) to enlarge images without loss of loss of sharpness or detail, provided the larger size has the same aspect ratio as the original image. Yes, there are products that claim to transform images from one aspect ratio to another without distortion, and no, they do not produce a professional result.

Do you offer framing?

I don’t offer framing because it’s a decision affected by personal preference, decor, and a variety of other factors. I leave it to you to have your paper print framed as you like; however, I suggest you spring for professional framing to conservation standards since the paper and ink I use can last beyond your lifetime.

Do you offer a purchase guarantee?

I want you to feel safe when you buy and to be happy with your purchase. Please look at the Terms and Conditions page. 

What payment options do you provide?

I accept payment via PayPal. If you don’t use PayPal please contact me (info in page footer) to arrange alternate payment arrangements.

Do you accept commissions?

Absolutely! I create images for organizations, towns, nature areas, and also sell images to small hotels,  small businesses, and restaurants/coffee shops. Please contact me (info in page footer) and let’s come up with a plan.

Pollinator images added color to a local Wimberley, Texas law office.

If you have anything to do with polluting our planet, harming our fellow humans, or are involved in or enabling the fossil fuel industry, I will not work with you. 

What are the shipping charges?

Shipping within the US (lower 48 states) is included in the price of my two standard sizes and image sets. Special orders for larger works may include a shipping charge. 

Do you use affiliate links?

Only in the page footer and the link to ON1 Resize on this page. 

How do you pronounce your last name?

Spelled phonetically, it’s Do Pluh See. Thanks for asking.
