Meet the Team

Tristan Green and Clive Sefton both studied Graphic Design at the University of Brighton and Southampton Institute respectively during the 90s.

We have over 25 years experience in fine art, print, framing, branding and fashion design.

Now assisted by the creative talents and framing expertise of Jenn Shaw, our tightly knit team has delivered for over 200 artists over the last 5 years.

After the pause for thought that lockdown afforded us all, we decided it was time to give fellow creatives control over the production of their artwork - where they can get professional  Giclée Printing, Framing, Artwork Scanning, Photography, Shopify Store Building and Standard Printing Products all under one roof - whilst being able to talk to peers who understood their needs to help them achieve their creative goals.

All this in our centrally located studio with competitive prices and a super speedy turnaround for studio pick-ups and delivery alike.

We take great pride in making your artwork look awesome - with the minimum of fuss!

What's Giclée?

The word giclée (pronounced zhee-klay) is used to describe a fine art digital printing process that combines advanced pigment inks with high quality archival papers to achieve fantastic colour depth, definition and superior light fastness.

It is now the leading short / medium run print process used by artists, illustrators and photographers.

Paper

We use two superb, tried and trusted paper stocks to choose from, selected for their exceptional and distinct qualities that suit all manner of requirements from reproducing textural oil paintings to line art illustration to architectural photography.

HAHNEMÜHLE GERMAN ETCHING 310gsm:

A warm white, 100% cotton paper with a slightly textured surface. Hugely popular for artwork and photography reproduction. Acid and lignin free for archival standards.

HAHNEMÜHLE PHOTO RAG 308gsm: 

This soft white 100% cotton paper with its characteristic smooth feel boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each print an impressive pictorial depth. Works brilliantly for photography and typography based work. Acid and lignin free for archival standards

Eco-Framing

Save yourself the hassle of DIY framing - sourcing a quality frame, cleaning the glass effectively and mounting correctly without damaging the print - it's not as easy as you may think - OR the expense of getting your print framed - we can do it all in-house at a lower cost with a speedier turnaround.

Our superior quality wooden frames come from sustainably sourced UK forests and come complete with 2mm float glasshard-board backs and a professional hanging system. Our frames have a natural wood grain finish and are available in black and white.

Your professionally framed prints will be ready for studio pick-up within 1-2 working days / UK delivery 5 working days.

File Preparation

COLOUR: We can print files in both CMYK and RGB - CMYK is the industry standard whereas RGB files print much brighter and closer to what you see on screen - with amazing results for vibrant pieces!

BLACK & WHITE: Please provide all artwork in Greyscale before saving as a jpg / PDF.

PDF : The PDF preference we recommend is High Quality Print.

JPEG: Size files to the required print dimensions with a resolution of 300dpi - 400dpi.

ARTWORK: Please ensure all artwork is checked and print ready, we print what we receive from our customers and don't offer refunds.

PROOFING: If you require proofing of your artwork, we recommend ordering a single A4 print (Tip: you could layout elements of multiple pieces on this to check colours, details etc).
