All Services

Core Service 02
Artists, photographers and creators upload files, crop, caption and ship straight to buyers nationwide via our 100% automated white-label drop-shipping service — printed on our premium library of luxury fine art and photo papers, under your brand.
DiscoverCore Service 03
Originals, prints and collectibles handled to museum standards in our South Manchester workshop — for galleries, interior designers and private collectors.
Handling original masterpieces, family prints and gallery collections for the public, interior designers and galleries across Manchester.
Mount card setups built to strict conservation standards. 100% acid-free mats protect artwork — borders never yellow, bleed or suffer destructive edge “burning” common with cheap high-street boards.
Specialised box-framing for signed shirts, boxing gloves and athletic memorabilia. Completely reversible, non-destructive pinned mounting — no glues, staples or chemical adhesives — to safeguard structural integrity and market value.
Core Service 04
Hahnemühle-certified giclée printing on a state-of-the-art 12-colour Canon PRO-4600 — gallery-archival output trusted by artists, photographers and galleries nationwide.
An elite international certification — a premium mark of distinction for artists seeking verified gallery archival longevity and trust.
Advanced 12-colour pigment ink set delivering unmatched colour depth, smooth gradations and deep, dynamic monochrome tones.
Custom canvas built to the exact millimetre — archival canvas cloth paired with robust wooden stretcher bars and custom internal bracing. No warping, sagging or edge cracking over time.
Dedicated to our ultra-high-definition artwork reproduction service. Painters and galleries — input your original canvas dimensions (up to 3m × 2m) for an immediate scanning cost estimate that captures full physical depth, canvas lines and heavy impasto paint profiles.
Final pricing confirmed once we've seen the artwork in person at our Timperley studio.
An instant price estimate for custom, cut-to-size framing glass replacements or premium glazing upgrades. Standard Clear, 99% UV-Protection Art Glass, or luxury Anti-Reflective Museum Glass.
