      Art of Print specializes in bespoke giclée printing, delivering vibrant and consistent fine art prints for illustrators, photographers, galleries, and creatives of all kinds. Our giclée prints use archival printing techniques on fibre and cotton-based papers, enhanced with advanced inkjet coatings. We print your artwork in high resolution using Canon’s latest imagePROGRAF series printers, renowned for their 12-colour ink system, rapid speeds, and flawless consistency. Choose from our selection of fine art papers, each offering unique textures, finishes, and tones, to achieve exceptional prints with brighter colours, deeper blacks, crisper details, and lasting quality.

      Photographic prints on resin-coated paper closely mimic the look and feel of traditional chemical-based prints, created with our high-end Canon printers. This process delivers a broader colour gamut, resulting in exceptional prints with brighter colours, sharper details, and lasting vibrancy.

      Whether you're an amateur or a seasoned professional, your work truly comes to life when it’s printed. Your finest creations deserve to be displayed on a wall, not hidden away on a hard drive.

       Art of Print uses high-quality canvases to ensure the highest standards of image reproduction. Our matte surface canvases deliver vibrant colours and a natural look, perfect for portraits, wildlife, and illustrated artworks. To maintain our quality, we now use the latest Canon imagePROGRAF printers, featuring a 12-color ink system and rapid print speeds for unsurpassed quality in photographic and fine art printing.

      Canvas Options:

      • Ready-to-Hang: Your canvas is wrapped on a high-quality, handcrafted stretcher frame made from lightweight, sustainable Wawa wood. Simply hang it on two nails or screws using the carrier frame.
      • Flat Canvas: If you prefer, we can print a flat canvas that can be rolled up for easy transport, including a stretching border for later framing.

      Finishing Touches:

      • Mirrored Edges: Mirrors the outer areas of the picture on the sides of the canvas, keeping the entire photo visible from the front.
      • Image Blur: Blurs the duplicated edges to create a beautiful, coloured wrap with all the colours from your image.
      • Solid Colour: A solid colour of your choice for the sides of your canvas that complements your image.

      Additional Framing:

      • Canvas Floater Frame: Made from Wawa wood or various hardwoods, available in multiple colours and finishes. A metal hanging bracket is fitted for easier and more precise hanging.

      DiaMount® is a system that bonds images directly and permanently to acrylic sheets using a neutral PH adhesive system. It is the worlds most established and quality proven face-mounting process. This makes it possible to produce an exceptional durable finish, without bubbles or cracks, and to perfectly protect the print.Photographs are mounted to high exhibition standards without borders and eliminate the need for a traditional picture frame.

      The combination of this specialised technique with light penetration and refraction in clear acrylic results in enhanced image definition, bright colours, and detailed textures for all artworks. DiaMount® are backed with Aluminium composite material, to reinforce the rigidity of the finished picture.

      An aluminium Sub-frame is attached to the back of the Aluminium composite, allowing the artwork to hang floating on the wall, with no obvious means of support. The subframe provides structural stability to your artwork. Your print is ready to hang and accompanied by hanging and care instructions, placed by hand by our master framers.

      Our DiaMount® are made using the finest Plexiglass available: PLEXIGLAS Gallery® offers UV protection of up to 99.7% making it one of the most effective UV blockers among glazing materials and therefore complies with the highest conservation requirements. We offer this product in both a matte and a gloss finish. Once the image has rested, it’s then backed by a rigid aluminium composite material (ACM), like Dibond®, encapsulating the print in an airtight sandwich.

      This process gives you a modern contemporary feel whereby it appears to be floating on a wall. Yet we’re not limited to this finish as it can also be framed, giving you that timeless classic look. Discuss your preferences with our consultants.


      • Excludes fine art prints.
      • Includes an aluminium sub-frame for easy hanging
      • Can be framed
      • Custom sizes are available.

This approach guarantees that your artwork can be printed as precisely as possible, ensuring the best representation.

      * A Note on Accuracy

      While we strive to achieve utmost accuracy, it is essential to understand that 100% colour matching may not always be possible due to varying factors such as equipment, inks, and papers. Reproducing colours from glossy artwork onto matte fine art paper, for instance, can lead to slight discrepancies. In such cases, the inks used in the printing process might not precisely match the original pigments, as they are different compounds with distinct characteristics. Nonetheless, our art printing aims to create sellable reproductions that remain faithful to your original artwork.

      Once your artwork is digitally reproduced, the possibilities are boundless. Through our premium fine art printing services, you can transform your reproduced artwork into stunning limited-edition prints.

We'll discover the inspirations behind her extraordinary works. Get an exclusive glimpse into the imaginative colourful world of this artist. 1) What was the inspiration behind the title "Don't Stop Me Now" for your exhibition and how does it resonate with the theme/concept of your new body of work? The British rock band Queen had on their album Jazz (1978) the song 'Don't Stop Me Now'. I always loved this song for its motivational energy.

This means that each pixel can have 2^8 (256) different colour values, ranging from 0 to 255. As a result, 8-bit images are capable of displaying a total of 256 different colours. These images are also commonly referred to as "256-color images."Benefits of 8-bit Images for PrintingSmaller File Sizes: Since 8-bit images have a limited colour range, they tend to have smaller file sizes compared to higher bit-depth images.
