Prints made by someone who hangs their own on the wall.

Fine-art printing for photographers and artists. You bring the file. I bring the paper, ink, and judgment.

I’ve exhibited my own work at Rouge Gallery in Calgary, so I know what a gallery-ready print needs. As seen in Avenue Calgary, Alberta Views, City Style and Living, and a Drytac case study. See the press.

Art reproduction and artist proofs

I help artists turn original work into prints that hold up next to the real thing. It starts with capturing the piece, either in my studio or on-site where the art lives. Then I colour-correct the file against the original, so the print comes as close as possible to the colours you actually put down.

  • Capture: high-resolution photography of your original, lit to show true colour and texture.
  • Colour correct: I compare the file to the original and adjust until they match.
  • Artist proof: you see a proof print and sign off before anything else is printed.
  • Reproductions: prints on Moab and Epson fine art papers, cotton rag or canvas, in whatever run you need.

Why print here

I print my own layered work on the same equipment. Colour, edge, and material aren’t abstract to me — they’re what the art depends on.

I also make custom photographic books and exhibition prints when the project calls for them. My past work includes epoxy-coated canvas, cold-pressed cotton, and aluminum.

What I print on:

  • Cold-pressed cotton rag (fine art)
  • Moab fine art papers (Slickrock)
  • Epson fine art papers
  • Premium lustre photo paper
  • Canvas
  • Poster paper
  • Banner
  • Duratrans backlit film for lightbox displays
  • Decals
  • Screen printing: fabric, nylon, cotton, polyester, etc.

Preparing your files

Good file setup is the key to the best print. Get it right and turnaround can be as quick as 24 hours.

  • Resolution: 300 ppi at the final print size is ideal. For large pieces viewed from a distance, like posters, banners and wall graphics, 150 ppi at full size works well.
  • File types: TIFF is preferred (flattened, 8 or 16 bit). High-quality JPEG, PDF and PSD files are also fine. For decals and cut vinyl, send vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) with text outlined.
  • Colour: Adobe RGB (1998) with the profile embedded is preferred, and sRGB is fine too. I don’t accept CMYK files.
  • Size: Send files at the final print size or the exact proportions. Add 1/8 inch of bleed on each edge for full-bleed prints, and about 2 inches extra on each side for gallery-wrapped canvas.
  • Don’t upscale: Please don’t enlarge a low-resolution image to hit 300 ppi. Send the original and I’ll tell you how big it can print.
  • Large files: Upload them through the link on the quote form.
