Print? We do that, too.

Yes, we sell frames. We can also produce the final version of what goes into those frames.

For nearly 25 years, since the early 2000’s boom in on-demand custom printing, American Frame has been at the forefront of fine art and photography printing. We specialize in high-quality services for the most discerning photographers, artists and gallerists across the USA.

And the feedback speaks for itself:

‘Amazing print quality. I’ll definitely keep coming back to American Frame for all my fine-art printing and framing’ – Sandy D.

Our Print Team: Experienced, Knowledgeable and Committed

The members of our Print Production Team have earned fine art and photography degrees and have spent years refining their craft in our dedicated printing department.  While larger print-houses boast high-volume, we are committed to precision, color accuracy and archival quality using a variety of premium papers and inks, helping you fulfill your creative vision, just the way you see it.

Behold: The Epson SureColor P9570

We use a wide-format, 44” printer, the Epson SureColor P9570 and UltraChrome® PRO12 Ink (200-year archival rating). The P9570 requires three black ink cartridges, so black & white images are free of color casting. The result: stunning clarity and contrast in every print.

Need to see proof? We can provide. It’s built into our workflow.

We offer both resolution proofs and color proofs so you can preview your image before committing to a full print.

  • Color proofs show how your colors translate to the paper you choose. Every paper absorbs ink and reflects light differently, especially across matte, cotton or resin-coated stocks.
  • Resolution proofs help determine if your selected print size maintains the image clarity and detail you expect at that size.

These can be ordered in advance of your print so there are no surprises when your artwork arrives, allowing you to make changes in advance of your final design.

“I’m a professional photographer. I’ve used American Frame for years. They print my photos as well as I do and do a great job of framing at a reasonable price. Their customer service is superb!” – Steve Lipofsky

Living up to high standards.  

We take color management seriously. Our printers, monitors, and workflows are calibrated to ICC (International Color Consortium) standards using X-rite i1Photospectrometer and software. Those are big, technical words, yes, but it means the results are exceptional.
