We offer a print origination studio, based at St. Agnes, for both small and large quantities of prints

We produce the original prints for the Cornish Art Prints range (which are sold in galleries throughout Cornwall) as well as one-off prints for individual artists. We can also turn pictures into greeting cards

Once prints have been produced they can be professionally framed by the Saffron Picture Framing Company at our workshop. As everything is done 'in-house' we can keep costs down, making it a realistic and affordable opportunity for new artists to produce prints of their own work.

Amateur artists can realistically produce and sell prints and greeting cards of their work without needing to invest thousands of pounds. We can either originate from the original artwork, or use an existing image from a disc.

A4+ prints cost from £4.70+VAT and A3+ prints cost from £9.40+VAT. Greeting cards cost from 40p each. Mounting and framing costs vary depending on the specification required. Canvas printing is also available.

Our prints are produced using the "Giclée" system using watercolour paper and seven colour printers, using pigment inks which are light-fast for over 75 years*. The "Giclée" process allows art prints to be produced to a very high and consistent standard without the need for large print runs, helping to keep costs to a minimum. In the past print runs were often produced in batches of several hundred, or even thousand. We can originate an image and print on demand, so there is no need to tie-up large sums of money by having hundreds of prints in stock.

As well as print production we can also scan and print photographs, and can even digitally re-touch or airbrush damaged old photographs. This can be done without any harm to the original, and the finished picture will also be more resistant to fade and moisture than the original.

This is an excellent way to repair and preserve treasured family photographs for future generations.

 

The picture on the left shows a section of a damaged old photograph, the picture on the right shows the same area after it has been digitally retouched.

If you are considering producing prints of your work, please contact us so that we can discuss your individual requirements and tailor a package to suit your needs.

We are always happy to discuss any 'project' which we may be able to help you with, and give advice if needed.
