Our Services

Giclee Art Printing

Using the very latest in art printing technology we’re able to offer a complete in-house giclée art printing service to professional and amateur artists who wish to produce prints from their work – whether it be a single copy or a run of prints. We can work from original art or from any digital image. With our fully colour calibrated equipment, processes and workflow, we pay fastidious attention to colour balancing to ensure extremely accurate

Papers: We stock a tried and tested selection of fine art papers and we know how well each paper type reproduces. In particular we find the Hahnemühle products, such as German Etching and Photo Rag to produce stunning results. We can, of course, print onto almost any paper to suit the artist’s choice.

Print Sizes: We can professionally reduce or enlarge images without any noticeable loss of quality. All our fine art papers and canvases print from a roll allowing us to produce prints up to 44″ (111 cm) wide by almost any length!

Print Pricing: Our print pricing is based on a simple formula of size and paper type. Please get in touch with us to discuss the pricing options available.

Printed Canvases

If you have a digital image that you’d like as a canvas, then we can print this to a quality poly-cotton canvas and mount it to a bespoke stretch frame to create a stunning piece of wall art.

As we’re not constrained by pre-sized stretcher frame kits, your canvas can be of any size or scale. We have the digital know how and advanced software tools to enlarge images without losing quality.

Photo Restoration

Preserve your history. We can digitally copy, repair, restore, retouch, revive and reprint your old photographs.

Using our high-end digital capture facilities and our experience of digital manipulation we are able to bring old photographs back to life in stunning clarity.

We professionally print the restored photographs to your choice of photographic or archival papers. Furthermore we can supply the digital file for you to retain for posterity.

Ready-Made Frames

Primarily we’re bespoke picture framers, but we know there are times when a ready-made frame is all that’s required – normally where time or budget is limited!

We therefore stock just a small range of wooden and aluminium frames in a range of popular sizes. These are all beautifully made high quality frames.

Mount Cutting

Using the latest computerised mount cutting machine we supply precision cut mounts to any size and can therefore cut multi aperture layouts, single, double or triple mounts.

We offer a full range of mount colours as well as standard, conservation, museum, black core, and extra thick grade boards.

Mounting Artists’ Canvases

We refit artists’ original canvases back on to a bespoke canvas stretcher frame – and as we cut all the stretchers in-house we’re not restricted to any preset sizes so can match the dimensions to the original piece.

There is a slight proviso that the artist does need to have left enough ‘spare’ canvas to allow us to ‘grip’ and tension the canvas, which is not always the case, but we’ll be able to advise once we’ve seen the piece.

Tapestries & Lacing

We have a lot of experience in framing fabrics and cross-stitches. We do strongly recommend that your first lace and straighten your piece on to a backing board before bringing it in to us – it will save you some time-consuming costs!

All our framing is carried out to conservation standards without any gluing or taping. We have a number of tricks up our sleeves to make the most of fabric art.

Reglazing

We cut and supply glass cut to any bespoke size. Quite often this is just to replace a broken piece in an old frame – which we’re more than happy to do.

However customers are increasingly aware of the specialist glass types available such UV protected, anti-glare, museum grade and even quality acrylic. We stock a full range and can advise on the best glass type to use.

Shirt Framing

We’ve lost track of how many shirts we’ve framed over the years – in fact many of these have been for professional players.

We’re always keen to stress that these are framed to recognised ‘conservation’ standards that means nothing is glued, cut or damaged. We hand cut a bespoke ‘inner’ to fit each shirt – and the shirt is presented flat without touching the glass.

We can also design and print any logo or accompanying text box if required.

Dry Mounting

We can dry-mount pieces to 2mm board or 5mm foamboard using a Hot Press system. Of course the vast majority of our framing is to ‘conservation standard’ which does not advocate any gluing or bonding of the artwork – however on occasions when an inexpensive piece needs to be truly flat, then we have the equipment for the job.

Commercial Projects

We have years’ of experience working with agencies, designers, museums, shopfitters and retailers. We’re not a hard-core contract framing business, but we know about budgets, quality and most importantly – deadlines (we’ve never missed one yet!).

So if you have a commercial framing project, then please do contact us.
