Professional Fine Art Printing in New York City
Start a printing projectFrom exhibition prints and limited editions to personal photographs and reproductions of original artwork, Harlem Frames provides professional fine art printing for artists, photographers, galleries, collectors, and individuals.
Our approach combines careful image preparation with high-quality printing and an understanding of how the finished work will ultimately be presented. Whether the print is destined for an exhibition, portfolio, edition, or custom frame, we work with you to produce a result that respects the color, detail, scale, and character of the original image.
Printing for Artists & Photographers
A great print should feel like an extension of the original work.
Harlem Frames works with artists and photographers to produce high-quality prints for exhibitions, portfolios, editions, sales, and personal collections. Each project is considered individually, from the source image and desired dimensions to the paper, final presentation, and intended viewing environment.
For artists reproducing paintings or works on paper, our printing services can also become part of a larger reproduction workflow—from capturing or scanning the original artwork to preparing and producing the finished print.
From Original Artwork to Finished Print
For artists looking to reproduce an existing artwork, Harlem Frames can help carry the project through multiple stages.
Artwork Scanning / Image Capture
Create a high-quality digital file from the original work.
Image Preparation
Review the file for scale, cropping, color, and the requirements of the final print.
Fine Art Printing
Produce the artwork at the appropriate dimensions and on a paper selected for the desired appearance.
Custom Framing
Complete the presentation with a custom frame, matting, and glazing selected around the finished print.
Keeping these services together allows the reproduction and final presentation to be considered as one continuous process rather than as separate decisions.
Choosing the Right Paper
Paper can dramatically change the character of a printed image.
Surface texture, brightness, weight, finish, and tonal response can influence everything from fine detail to the richness of dark areas and the softness of subtle colors.
A photograph may call for a very different surface than a reproduction of a drawing or painting. Rather than treating paper as an afterthought, we help determine which option best supports the visual qualities of the work and how the finished print will be used.
Prints Made for Presentation
Because Harlem Frames is both a fine art printing and custom framing studio, we can think beyond the print itself.
If a work will ultimately be framed, decisions about dimensions, borders, matting, glazing, and final frame size can be considered before printing. This is particularly useful for exhibition work, editions, and projects where consistency across a series is important.
The result is a more integrated process—from digital image to finished piece on the wall.
