ABOUT
PrintMaker Studio is a full service fine art digital print service with expertise in digital printmaking, finishing, and custom framing. Our goals are simple: we wish to demystify the print process with our open concept studio and make the finest prints and finishing possible. Our customers are discerning artists, art collectors, and those who care about quality.
We make exceptional prints using the latest digital technology, the finest paper, and the experiential know-how to transform digital files into a beautiful, tactile presentation. Private and group consultations, workshops, and educational opportunities are also available.
PrintMaker Studio is open the public and conveniently located on Vancouver’s Eastside. We share a corner with Prototype Coffee and Strathcona Beer in the Strathcona Neighbourhood. We sponsor Gallery 881, a lens-based contemporary art gallery, and are a founding member of the Vancouver Art Walk, a self-guided tour of Vancouver’s Arts District with events happening the first Saturday of every month. We are also proud partners with Emily Carr University.
