a family studio,
printing fine art
since 1999.
For twenty-five years we've produced the highest-quality origination and fine art printing for professional artists. We're now opening that same craft up directly — to anyone who wants their work printed to the highest possible standard. Upload your image, choose your paper, and we'll print and ship it from our Wirral studio.
Since 1999, we have originated and printed for many professional artists, museums, galleries and organisations, ensuring the highest levels of accuracy and quality.
If you need your work scanning or photographing, you can drop art work off for origination or post it — simply use the contact us form, email or phone to arrange a time or to let us know you have posted an art work. Origination costs £20 per piece, regardless of size. Once originated and colour balanced, we will make a test print and then we will send you back a high-resolution file in BMP, TIFF, PSD or JPEG and post your work back along with any prints you require. Colour balancing, A4 test printing and sending of digital images are all provided at no cost to you. Return postage of your work will be charged at cost.

The same three steps since the first edition.
Origination & scanning
Original artwork captured on a professional fine art scanner up to 1.5 × 1 metres. Glazed or oversized pieces are photographed with angled strobe lighting use the best quality digital camera and lenses, so nothing is lost before we begin.
Colour management
Our system is professionally colour balanced to ensure that the colours we see are those that are printed on paper or canvas. If you have a digital image you would like printed, we will colour balance it for you before printing, for free. Images are proofed by eye, test print after test print, until the proof and the original sit side by side and read as a single thing — not approximately, exactly.
Archival printing
Twelve-colour pigment inks laid onto Hahnemühle and Permajet papers and canvas, to a standard that exceeds the Fine Art Trade Guild's — then hand-checked and posted to your door. Guaranteed to be light fast for at least 100 years.
“I've been working with Sinclair Printing for nearly 20 years and they are the Greatest. Their fine art prints are the best around - as good as the original!”
