Print & Ink -
We print using professional Epson art printers and only ever use Epson UltraChrome K3™ inks, so no cheap 3rd party ones that can give unpredictable print results or life-span. Each print sheet is inspected for flaws and lightly brushed with soft bristled art brushes to remove surface dust and fibres that could affect print quality. We take utmost care during every print stage to en
sure the best possible quality reproduction of your artwork. Calibration -
Our Colormunki can be used to profile your choice of paper for more accurate print colour results. Please always be aware that some shades of colours just aren't printable on some papers and final results can look slightly different from screen to print. Computer monitors can show a bigger range of more vibrant colours than can be reproduced on paper no matter how good the printer. For best results, we recommend Epson branded papers, as these are developed to reproduce the widest range of colours faithfully. Test prints -
We don't charge a fixed set-up fee for your print-job, we prefer to work with you to get the results that you want while keeping your costs low. We print an A5 size swatch for you to check the colour results, these are charged at the A5 rate but it's up to you how many colour tweaks you'd like doing. Once colour has been approved, we print you a full size copy for proofing (charged at the finished print size rate). This is sent to you to check that the artwork prints as you expect and to help you double check for imperfections in your scan such as dust and fibres or artwork errors that you may not have noticed on screen. Costs -
A2 £9.00
A3 £5.25
A4 £3.38
A5 £2.06
The above prices do not include the cost of your paper choice. You may choose to source paper yourself or we can order your choice of paper for you. Please remember to order additional paper to accommodate test prints at the colour set-up and proofing stage prior to printing. Setting up with the same paper gives you an exact indication of the results achievable. You may even like to have tests printed on various paper to help you choose the surface and result you like best. For unusual paper sizes, please contact us for a print quote and to check that our printer can run the size of print you have in mind. Other Services -

A2 - £30.00

Postage -
This varies depending on your quantity of prints and where you are. Please get in touch for an accurate price. Unlike many businesses, we don't inflate our postage costs to turn an extra profit, you can be assured that we charge the minimum for packaging and shipping. We do however insist on shipping via insured & tracked post to protect your prints, unless you advise us you'd prefer otherwise. Our packaging is specifically selected to reduce the possibility of damage to your prints in transit. Some fine art papers require special handling due to the surface finish, for these papers we will supply your prints in individual cellophane envelopes to minimise rubbing on the printed surface. Again, these envelopes are charged at cost only - no profiteering here! Payment -
We can accept payment by paypal, cheque or bank transfer. Please note we will allow time for funds to clear before we begin production.
