Press Prints: Affordable, Accurate, and Easy to Frame!

Want to make your art more accessible without compromising on quality? Press prints are a fantastic way to offer beautiful reproductions at an affordable price. They deliver accurate colour and detail, making them a great option for open-edition prints.

For artists, press prints offer the highest markup potential compared to other printing methods, making them a smart way to increase revenue while keeping prices affordable for buyers. Art lovers appreciate them too—they can enjoy a stunning reproduction without the premium price tag of archival prints.

One of the best perks? Standard sizing! These prints are designed to fit off-the-shelf frames and mats, eliminating the need for costly custom framing. Whether it’s for a casual collector or someone decorating their space on a budget, press prints make it easy to bring art into everyday life.

A perfect way to share your work far and wide—without limits!

Production Process

Scanning/Capture of Images (price not included)
Options:
A. Scanning: Watercolours and matte art works are best scanned for exceptional detail and colour precision.
B. Capture:   Glossy and varnished paintings are best shot with a digital camera as the lighting can be polarized to reduce reflection.
C. Provided digital file: You can provide your own digital files. Images should be provided at 100% at 300-400 dpi in RGB (tiff is best). Best to include a colour/greyscale reference in your image to adjust for colour cast and reduce calibration time.
Printers Proofs
Once the designs and text copy are proofed, we calibrate your card images to your original art or to your eye. Full size colour proofs are generated for you to approve (by mail or in person). These proofs are filed along with your archived digital files to make sure that all repeat orders are the same colours (our specialty).
Printing
Images are processed and ripped through our state of the art EFI Splash colour server for excellent critical colour reproduction and repeatability on our digital press. We pay close attention to image quality and colour consistency for every order. Not only can we get the colour right, we can reproduce it time and time again.
Cutting & Bundling
We cut your prints to size on our precision hydraulic cutter.  Prints of equal size are bundled together for efficient packaging.

About Photography

If you are a photographer and you would like to get greeting cards or small digital press prints of your photographs be aware that there are some differences in the way your images will print on photo paper versus card stock. Photo paper (either printed with an inkjet or with a photo lab process) allows for finer detail and more accurate tonal gradation vs the digital press. When printing on card stock there are some technical limitations – large areas with mid-tone colours (like blue sky) can create visual “noise” or banding in the final image.

Depending on your images, you may not have any problems at all, but we are fussy about getting our clients a good result so we will always personally examine your images before printing and advise you of any issues. If we don’t see any problems in the digital files, we’ll go to the next step of creating a hard copy proof for your approval before we go ahead with the print run. If you’re in doubt about how your photographs would look as art cards, contact us and we’ll let you know what we see.
