1

Get a Price

If you’ve ordered prints online before, start here. The calculator is detailed — it has to be, there’s a lot to choose from — but it walks you through size, paper or surface, borders, proofs and mounting, and saves it all as a quote.

Not sure? Start here instead.

Send Your Files

Not sure where to start? Just send us the file. With your image in front of us and in front of you, we can go through the choices together, on the phone or at the counter, and put the quote together for you.

We Confirm the Details

One of us looks over the file and the quote, flags anything that won’t print well, and confirms the details with you.

What We Make

Every Piece Is Made to Order

Each piece is made by hand, by one of our artisans, for that particular image.

Scanning

Heirloom prints, slides and negatives, artwork scanned for extreme clarity, and whole shoeboxes sorted and organized. All done here.

Custom Framing

Over 1,000 moulding and mat choices, plus ready-made frames. Printing and framing under one roof means the two are chosen to work together. Sometimes the smart move is adjusting the print to suit the frame.

Photo Restoration & Editing

Torn, faded or stained photos brought back. Wrinkles softened, people added to the group shot, colors matched to the original art.

Fine Art & Photo Papers

Museum-grade cotton papers, baryta, watercolor, and photo papers from satin to metallic, printed with critical color matching.

Canvas

Stretched over kiln-dried bars or supplied flat, in satin, matte, gloss and metallic canvas.

Metal Prints

Bonded to aluminum composite: rigid, cleanable, and a strong choice for large pieces. Black-and-white that won’t yellow. Borderless, rounded corners, or a brushed silver border.

Plexi Face-Mount

The sharpest focus and most brilliant color we make. The print is mounted behind clear acrylic, so the image seems to float in glass.

Quick Prints

Everyday photo prints from wallet size up to 8×12, single or two-sided, plus folded greeting cards. Upload your files or bring a thumb drive.

Art Captures

High-resolution captures of paintings and artwork, shot with Phase One equipment and color-matched to the original. For reproductions and archives.

Also: backlit and clear film, wall fabrics and adhesive vinyl, mounting and hanging systems, and one-on-one classes. See everything we make →

How We Work

We listen

Tell us about the image, the room and the occasion. The right paper, size and finish usually follow from that.

We explain

Paper or canvas? Metal or plexi? Matte or gloss? We walk through the trade-offs so you can decide with confidence.

We craft

Printing, scanning, and framing all happen under one roof. Our framers, printers, editors and designers meticulously work on your pieces.
