Jim and Steve Kastner each started their journey into
photography as pre-teens, in the darkroom, making
prints. During the intervening years and the thirty-plus
years of our partnership we have retained a printmaker’s perspective in our photography, refining our craft
and riding waves of new technology. Kastner Design’s
current Framed Print product reflects the sum of over
one hundred years of our combined image and printmaking experience.
Our first, and most universal choice for image display is as framed wall art. Our distinctive glare-free
handmade matted prints are housed in metal, wood
or frequently Hawaiian Koa frames, and accented with
a descriptive label mounted nearby. While the frames
may be wire hung, it’s more common for us to use our
security mounting system for installation, assuring
level orientation while deterring theft and accidental
displacement. Framed prints are a fast, sure method of

Over the many years we have produced and installed
the Framed Print product, we have continuously improved the mix of constituent materials and attachment options. We currently use a high-resolution ink jet
printed image, sandwiched between an non-glare lightly suede textured uv-filtering film on the front and a
GatorFoam substrate behind. Over time, we have found
this combination provides the best installed appearance

and protection for the chosen imagery. We offer aluminum and koa veneer framing, both designed to mount
to the wall with either wire and hooks or our SecurityMount hardware. Custom frames and finishes are also
available. Our suggestions on framing favor simple and
minimal designs, allowing the visual emphasis to reside
with the image and surrounding architecture.
The Framed Print product is available in three contrasting styles: mat, no-mat, and no-mat metal, illus-

style is recognizable as an image in a frame hanging on
the wall, the archival ink jet print features the artist’s
written title, signature and date. We use a universal
light grey for our mat color, other colors and added
dedication text may be ordered as an upgrade. The
no-mat ink jet print style with minimal framing can
frequently look like a window through the wall, and
uses an unobtrusive digital signature within the image

benefits of lower cost, low reflectivity, light weight
and portability. Because of their panel strength, light
weight and lack of breakable glazing, these Framed
Prints are very convenient to ship.
The third type, metal print, we have begun to use only
recently. These prints are dye-sublimation printed onto
specially prepared aluminum sheets, delivering a product with great brilliance and saturation of color with a

as 48” x 96” in a single piece, and are available in two
finishes, gloss and matte. We find custom frames to be
a good match to the metal print’s higher cost, and offer
a complimentary design and quotation at your request.

We are pleased with the evolution and current state
of our Framed Print family. As with the composition of
