A Good Print is Hard to Find

Dallas is full of good photographers, however, it is not full of good print studios.

More times than should be the case, I have had a friend or fellow photographer ask me where I print my photographs, or if I could recommend a good print studio. Well that is what I am here to do today. For any who are searching, or are currently dissatisfied with impersonal and sub-par printing, I have some advice; go to Artizen.

At 1211 Dragon St in the Design District, they are right across the street from Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery. The owner, who is a good family friend of mine, has been involved with the photography and print industry since the 70′s, and the in house master printmaker, Damon, can print just about anything you can imagine. They have a wide range of archival papers, canvases, substrates, and even UV coated, sticky backed photo paper for outdoor use. Damon is not just a master printer, he is an artist, and will work with you to create something unique, professional, and innovative.

I print all of my photographs there, and had an amazing experience during the printing of my solo show back in October at the Cube Creative. Damon knows things about image making and post production that most of us don’t, and he makes photographs look better than you ever thought was possible. Hal Samples and Dylan Hollingsworth print most of their work there, and even a good portion of La Reunion’s materials have been printed there.

In my opinion, Artizen’s quality of equipment, materials, and technical expertise is un-matched in the city of Dallas, and even pushes the envelope of printing innovation across the country, even internationally. I suggest you give it a try.

Drop by, or send Damon an email: ddaniels@artizenfinearts.com, and tell him you want the Photopolus special!
