What is it about you and digital printing?
You’re in a great industry. As a truly 21st century technology, producing flawless images on stunning, specially developed papers and canvas, digital printing makes fine art and photography available to everyone.
You never get over how beautiful images look as they emerge from your beloved inkjet – intense, sharp, dramatic – and you love seeing the delight on your customers’ faces when they come to collect their prints.
Nothing is too much trouble because digital printing is so reliable and so flexible. A one-off, metre-wide print of a photograph from a holiday of a lifetime? Of course! A short-run, limited edition of fine art prints? Certainly, because digital prints really do stand the test of time.
Digital prints hang on the walls of the Royal Academy and the Tate, but they look perfect on the walls of canal-side apartments and Georgian terraces, too.
Being able to offer a top quality service is its own reward, of course, but don’t you deserve wider recognition for all your care and expertise? How much better would your business be if you were able to tell your customers you’d achieved international recognition for your printing prowess – that you were the winner of the Fine Art Trade Guild Digital Printer of the Year Award 2019, sponsored by Innova Art?
How many more customers would that drive to your door?
The Fine Art Trade Guild Digital Printer of the Year Award is the UK’s preeminent award for digital printers. Sponsored by the award-winning digital solutions company Innova Art, the Digital Printer of the Year award recognizes and rewards excellence in the fastest developing, most technologically advanced sector of the printing industry.
It couldn’t be easier to enter the Digital Printer of the Year Award 2019 – and it’s free!
“Innova Art has sponsored the Fine Art Trade Guild Digital Printer of the Year Award because we know that excellence is what drives innovation,” says Innova Art MD Mike Ramos-Gonzalez.
“Innova Art has won countless awards for its products, including the Fine Art Trade Guild’s Innovation Award, because we’ve always push ourselves so hard to produce the right solution – the best digital media for fine art and photography, the most stylish ways to present and display images. Though we celebrated 15 years in the industry last year, we’re still a relatively new company – but I can assure you being recognized as the best makes everybody sit up and take notice!”
