We guarantee consistent printed excellence, every time.
White Glove Service and Long Lasting Museum Quality Prints
Over the years, digital technology has progressed and so have conservation practices of digitally made prints. We only work with the latest technology and finest grade papers to ensure the artwork we print faithfully represents your vision without fading.1 We take great care of our paper, even before we print your work on them, to ensure they are free of defects, flat spots, scuffs and fingerprints.
When Print Quality and Options Matter, We Provide the Best
We aren’t your ordinary print shop and we’re not the cheapest place to get prints made. When drug store prints and on-demand printing doesn’t cut it, we do printing better. We work with you to ensure your prints are perfect every time. We also offer discounts for editions and repeated print quantities (see below). We have numerous paper options to select from including fine art cotton rag watercolor papers, traditional German and French etching papers, baryta coated photo papers, and even delicate Japanese washi and kozo options. During our free in-person consultation, we get to know your work and your needs and we’ll discuss the options we bring to the table to find a personalized solution tailored for you.

We Believe Better Printing Options Matter
We are artist owned and locally operated on the isthmus in Madison, Wisconsin. As artists, we understand the sometimes strange and unusual requests an artist needs to ask to bring a work of art to life. We also know finding a place you can trust to print your artwork and photos correctly can be challenging and frustrating. We know how it feels like a gamble to upload your work to an online printing service, you’re never sure what to expect when the prints come back or how to get them to understand what is wrong with the results. We have been there, we have experienced this disappointment.
We wanted better options, so we made them! We work hard to do better, to be better and to provide the best fine art prints and photo prints available.
How We Became the Best Place To Get Prints Made
We work one on one with each of our clients to ensure we are matching their vision exactly. We have nearly 20 years of experience digitally printing Fine Art prints and photographs. Each of our papers and canvases is custom profiled to ensure our prints are made with precision color control for colors that pop when they should, are subdued when they need to be, and most importantly, match the colors they’re representing.
B&W Photographers can take comfort in knowing our black and white prints appear neutral with wide tonal ranges on every paper we work with, including all baryta papers, RC papers and rag papers.
Turnaround
We aim to keep our turn around times short, usually within a week for most print runs. Large orders may take longer to complete.
Fine Art Printing Done Right
We provide a personalized and collaborative printing experience. We don’t offer print on demand because we want to know who our clients are and what their needs are. We take time to get to know your needs and what your vision is for the prints we’ll make for you. We offer a free consultation to hear about you and your work to present you with options that will meet your needs. Our workflow is calibrated from capture to print to ensure we are providing the most accurate color and tonal ranges possible on paper.
To ensure the paper surface and inks have proper time to cure and stabilize, we carefully rest your prints for 24 hours. We interleaf every print with glassine, to provide an acid-free buffer between them to prevent abrasion. Lastly, we package most works in a poly sleeve to further protect them. Larger orders are wrapped in Tyvek to protect them from the effects of humidity and moisture during transport and shipping.

Archival Pigment Printing or Gicleé Printing, What’s the Difference?
The term Gicleé was coined in the 1990’s as a means to describe the emerging form of fine-art printing using InkJet printer technology. At the time, these printers utilized dye-based inks that were prone to early fading and washing out when exposed to humidity and moisture. With the introduction of better technology in recent years, the term gicleé has fallen out of favor by most artists and collectors. However, it is still commonly used to refer to older prints and those made on equipment utilizing dye-based inks.
Jason Houge Studios uses the latest technology and pigment-based inks formulated for long-term archivability and enjoyment. The contemporary term most commonly used to describe a prints made with pigment inks is now “Archival Pigment Print.” These contemporary prints, are lightfast, will not wash out in water and have the added benefits of increased vibrancy and extreme color accuracy. For graphic artists and designers: our prints boast 99% Pantone color accuracy on most papers.
1According to current research: Archival Pigment prints made on acid-free paper and preserved behind UV protective glass or plexi, or properly stored in a dedicated acid-free archival print box may last 100+ years without noticeable damage or fading.
2 99.9% Pantone color accuracy based on manufacture claims. We custom profile each substrate we work with consistently to ensure the broadest and most accurate color and tonal ranges possible. Some variance is possible due to substrate reflectivity and lighting conditions. 3 We stock most Canson-Infinity and Moab papers in house in addition to select Hahnemühle, Epson and Awagami Papers. Some papers are only available on a case-by-case basis by special order. Contact us for more information and to schedule a presentation of papers and surfaces. Special Orders are subject to at least 50% deposit upfront.
