In the world of art and photography, bringing an idea to life and transforming it into a captivating masterpiece requires expertise and precision. Behind every stunning print or framed piece of art lies the skills of a specialized printing studio and frame shop. As of 2021, the global art market was valued at just over $65 billion in the United States alone, so the art market is large and vast. Here is a bit more information on what goes on behind the scenes to take your concept and turn it into a masterpiece with canvas printing.
The journey from concept to masterpiece begins with a collaborative consultation between the client and the experts at the printing studio and frame shop. This stage involves discussing your vision, understanding the desired aesthetic, and selecting the appropriate materials and techniques. Experienced professionals provide guidance on options such as paper types and frame styles that will enhance and complement the artwork.
Once the design and material selections are finalized, the specialized printing studio takes over, utilizing state-of-the-art printing technology and meticulous attention to detail. High-quality printers, color calibration, and skilled technicians ensure accurate color reproduction and fine art printing. The selected image or artwork is printed with precision, taking into account factors such as resolution, contrast, and color accuracy. After printing, careful finishing techniques such as trimming, mounting, and laminating may be employed to further enhance the artwork's durability and visual impact.
The final stage of bringing the masterpiece to life is custom framing and display. The frame shop carefully creates frames that not only protect and preserve the artwork but also complement its aesthetics. The selection of frame materials, finishes, and matting is crucial in highlighting the artwork's focal point and creating a visually pleasing presentation. The frame shop team ensures precise measurements, secure mounting, and the use of archival materials to protect the artwork from environmental factors such as UV light and moisture.
A specialized printing studio and frame shop brings your concepts to life and transforms them into beautiful pieces of art that you can display. If you are looking to have canvas printing and framing completed for a piece of your art, we would love to make your idea come to life. Visit our printing studio today to get started.
Custom prints, framed photos, and frames offer a unique opportunity to elevate the impact of any artwork and truly transform a space.
We recently framed a Platinum palladium print with Morpho butterfly wings for Jennifer Robison. It is framed in a white oak moulding with archival materials and Museum Glass for ultimate clarity. You can pick it up for a steal at the 14th Annual Off the Wall Auction at the Masur Museum. You can bid on several great pieces by a number of talented artists. The auction ends Friday.
Be sure to check out Jennifer’s website for more of her fantastic work.

We will be closed June 6th through the 10th for a bit of restructuring. The art supplies will be moving over to Creative Exchange and we’ll also be reconfiguring the store. We have a great deal to accomplish in a short amount of time, and to be realistic, we probably won’t finish. The plan is to complete enough to reopen on June 13th.
We are going to try to keep printing online orders in a timely manner, but part of this restructuring involves moving all of the computers and printers. So as a preemptive “thank you for your patience” during the next week or so, enjoy 25% off all prints ordered through the online Print Lab. Enter code SAWDUST during checkout between now and June 10th.

There are a million different ways to go about home decor. But one of the simplest and most effective ways to add some personality and style to your space is by using framed photos. Not only do they look great, but they also have a host of other benefits that you might not have considered. Here are just a few of them.
Memorabilia are items that remind you of people, places, moments, or events that have had some significance to you. Whether it is a ticket stub from your favorite concert or an autograph from your idol;p memorabilia are meant to be collected and cherished because they make memories tangible. Framed photos make beautiful memorabilia by giving your favorites a home on your wall. You can choose the size, frame, and other details to match your overall decor scheme.
When framed photos are strategically placed around your home, they become a timeline of sorts that tells the story of your life. When you look at where and how you choose to display each picture, it can give off subtle clues as to what is most important to you and what events have made the biggest impact on your life. The way things are arranged is not by accident. It's a map to finding your way back to the most beautiful memory of all, "the past."
Framed pictures are somewhat protected against damage. If you have kids, pets, or just happen to be a little clumsy, this is an added benefit that can't be overlooked. When framed using archival materials and UV protective glass or acrylic, framing protects photos against environmental conditions, so the colors of your favorite photos won't fade or dull over time.
Framed photos are the most flexible and easily customizable photo decorating option. Depending on your style and theme, you can choose any frame to enclose your pictures without worrying that they won't mesh with the rest of your space. They don't just add personality and flair to your décor and memorabilia collection; they also open up a whole world of possibilities as far as customization goes.
