Dropshipping for Artists · Hahnemühle Certified Studio
Your artwork, your brand,delivered to your customer.
Printed to the same standard every time.
We print and post your work under your own name, from our studio in South Manchester or a Hahnemühle Certified partner studio closer to your customer. Prints or framed prints, one a month or hundreds, with the same care every time.
Complete confidence
We get your work to your customer, under your brand, printed properly.
Whether you sell one print a month or hundreds, the service is the same: a real studio, real people, and a print you'd be proud to sign.
Your brand, not ours.
Orders go out to your customer under your name, in plain packaging, with an optional thank-you card carrying your logo. Your customer never needs to know we're involved.
UK and international delivery.
We ship from our studio in Timperley, South Manchester, across the UK by DPD and overseas by tracked courier. Where we have a partner studio, your order can be printed and posted locally.
The same quality, wherever it's printed.
Every print is made in a Hahnemühle Certified Studio, here or in our partner network, on archival papers to the standard Hahnemühle sets. It will be as good as one made here at Love to Frame.
Hahnemühle Certified Studio
Certified for digital fine art printing. Every studio in our network holds the same certification, so the standard travels with your work.
How it works
From file to front door.
Personal, human service. Send orders by email and work from one shared spreadsheet, or connect your website so orders come straight through. Either way, a real person checks every file and every print.
Send your files
Email or WeTransfer your artwork and a price list. We check every file, enlarge it professionally if a bigger size needs it, and send you a proof to approve.
Your customer orders
They buy from you at your retail price. Forward the order by email, or let your connected website send it straight through to us.
We print it, here or nearby
Printed in our Timperley studio, or at the nearest Hahnemühle Certified partner studio when an order is urgent or overseas. Prints, canvas or framed prints.
Delivered under your brand
Packed plain, posted tracked, with your branded card inside if you'd like one. Tracking details go on your shared order spreadsheet.
The studio network
Certified studios around the world.
Most dropshipping services send work out to printers nobody has vetted. Ours only goes to fine art studios we know and trust, and every one of them is Hahnemühle Certified, like us. We believe we're the only UK dropshipping service with a network of certified studios.
When an order is urgent, or going somewhere awkward to ship to, it can be printed close to your customer and sent locally, in some cases the same day, with no customs delays. Quality is the whole point of the network: proper fine art printing on archival papers to the standard Hahnemühle sets, so the print will be as good as one made here.

United Kingdom and worldwide
Not sure whether we can reach a particular country? Ask us. If a partner studio can't cover it, we post from Timperley by tracked courier.
Two ways to work with us
As simple, or as connected, as you like.
Some artists want to forward an email now and then. Others want orders flowing in automatically. Both work, and you can move from one to the other as you grow.
Keep it simple
Email and one shared spreadsheet
No platform to learn. Forward each order by email, and we keep a shared spreadsheet of your catalogue, prices and tracking numbers that you can open any time.

About the artist websiteWhat your customers receive
Prints and framed prints, made by hand.
The same printers, papers and framers we use for gallery work, on every single order.
Fine art prints
Archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle papers, our own Heritage Rag and Portrait Rag, or cotton canvas. We'll recommend the best fit for your work.
Framed prints
We're bespoke framers as well as printers, so framed prints can sit in your catalogue too. Tell us which frames you'd like to offer and we'll quote for them.
Plain packaging, your card inside
Rolled in a strong tube or sent flat, with no Love To Frame paperwork in the box. Send us your logo once and we'll add a branded A5 thank-you card to every parcel for £5.
We take responsibility
If a print arrives damaged, tell us and we'll send a replacement. If there's ever a problem with the quality, we put it right.
