The One Stop Shop for Printmakers

Printmaking Services Limited set up printmaking.world to provide professional, friendly and accessible support for printmakers.

With many presses still in use decades and even centuries after manufacture, sourcing, maintaining and restoring this equipment requires a combination of engineering expertise and practical understanding of printmaking processes.

A Practical, Hands-On Approach

Our work is grounded in real-world experience.

We understand the demands of working studios and the importance of having the right equipment, in the right place and functioning as it should. Whether dealing with a single press or an entire studio, our focus is always to help with practical solutions.

We provide clear, straightforward advice and coordinate the right expertise to ensure each project is handled properly from start to finish.

A Trusted Network of Specialists

Over the past few decades, we have built a network of highly experienced engineers, technicians, and specialists covering all areas of printmaking.

This allows us to bring together the right skills for each project, including:

• Equipment dismantling, transport, and installation;
• Safe storage of presses and equipment if necessary;
• Sourcing of equipment, parts, materials and specialist services;
• Assessing and valuation of presses and equipment for sale;
• Mechanical servicing, repair, refurbishment, and restoration;
• Design and manufacture of new parts and components.

Every specialist we work with is selected based on proven experience and reliability.

Confidential and Client-Focused

Our advice is confidential and entirely focused on what is best for you, your equipment, and your studio, by:

• Helping you understand your options;
• Recommending the most appropriate solutions;
• Connecting you with trusted specialists where required;
• Supporting you throughout the process.

Supporting a Wide Range of Clients

We work with clients across the printmaking community, including:

• Independent artists and printmakers;
• Universities, colleges, and educational institutions;
• Professional studios and shared facilities;
• Heritage and conservation organisations.

Each client brings different requirements, and we tailor our approach accordingly.

Preserving Skills & Supporting Practice

Printmaking equipment represents both a practical tool and an important part of the craft’s history.

By training suppliers of printmaking services, and supporting the restoration, maintenance, and correct handling of these machines, we help ensure these skills are available to printmakers for years to come.
