Vulcania Graphics & Fine Art uses a closed-loop color management environment where we create and manage our own paper profiles and monitor calibration profiles. This is the preferred method for producing high quality professional prints. If you would like to use any of our paper profiles for soft proofing your digital artwork please contact us. Please note that soft proofing on-screen will require a properly calibrated monitor.

Canvas Gallery Wraps

Contemporary Gallery Wraps are available to finish your fine art canvas prints. Standard size Gallery Wraps are 1.25″ thick and are suitable for framing as well as hanging on their own. Pro size Gallery Wraps (pictured below) are 1.75″ thick. Contemporary Gallery Wraps by Vulcania Graphics & Fine Art include a clear UV acrylic coating prior to stretching and are finished with screw eyes and wire so they are ready to hang! Wrapped edges can be white, black or mirrored from your image for a continuous image look. For a true continuous image wrap, contact us to discuss digital file preparation and stretcher bar frame sizing.

Daniel G. Walczyk

Dan is a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin but spent his primary and secondary educational years in Ellicott City, Maryland and Greenville, South Carolina. He received a B.A. in English from Clemson University in 1982 and after graduate studies in theatre at Illinois State University moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania where he began a fifteen year theatrical career primarily as a production and stage manager. After meeting his partner and graphic designer Shawn, Walczyk & Young Studios (now Vulcania Graphics & Fine Art) was founded in a four room apartment in downtown Lancaster, PA in 2001. The two have since taken up residency in a historic home/studio “complex” built in 1830 and listed on the National Historic Register. A member of Professional Photographers of America, the North American Nature Photographer’s Association and the Center for Fine Art Photography, Dan specializes in nature, architectural, commercial and event photography, printing and color management for the Studio. He enjoys camping, hiking and biking and his love of kayaking often offers a unique photographic perspective for his nature and wildlife photography. Dan’s personal artwork can be accessed from the Artist Galleries page.

Following college he worked in the MR/DD (Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities) field for five years in both the public and private sectors. He later worked as a store trainer for Kinko’s in Dublin, Ohio where he specialized in graphic design, large format printing and color management. Shawn is a member of the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) and The Center for Fine Art Photography.
