From Image to Finished Print

  • We research the image

    Before we print anything, we want to understand an image's history. We research who created the image, when and where it was made, what it depicts. We research the artist, the location, the cultural context, and the techniques used to create the original.


    That research helps us make decisions about how the image should look today while staying true to its history.

  • We restore it

    Our historical research helps us determine how an image should look, including its original colors, tones, and presentation.
    We restore repair damage, fading and clean up imperfections. The goal is to restore the image without losing what made it distinctive.

    We prepare each image for printing, including resizing for standard frames. Our prints are produced on high-quality paper using archival inks so they can be enjoyed for years.

  • The price of a print reflects everything that happens between finding an image and putting the finished piece in your hands. That includes restoration, printing, quality materials, framing when applicable, and overhead.

  • We keep our margins modest but don't cut corners on quality. The result is a print that costs more than a cheap scan or mass-produced poster, but is still priced well below a gallery.

  • We’re not competing with mass-produced prints, and we don’t charge gallery prices. Mass-produced art is designed to be inexpensive and produced in large quantities, which often means less attention to the image, the materials, and the finished piece.

  • We believe good art should be accessible to everyone. But making art affordable shouldn’t mean sacrificing the qualities that make it special. We work to keep our prices accessible while providing quality.
