CPAC took on a two-part project for me, one of which was massive, and the artists there did an absolutely phenomenal job! Some aspects were new to them, and they still agreed to take the project on. My family is so grateful to Elisa and CPAP for their willingness to do this job and extremely pleased with the quality of their work. What was the project? Part one was to photograph the full collection of paintings and drawings that my mother produced throughout her long life, beginning with art school. Over the course of several months, I brought Elisa a total of 140 works of art, including oil paintings, watercolors, acrylic paintings, pencil sketches, pen and ink, and gouache illustrations; some were behind glass, some were fragile and old. CPAP photographed these, shooting to get the colors as accurate as possible. They succeeded. Then they created a digital repository, and made both high-resolution and lower-res images available to us. We are creating a book of all my mother's artwork and will give copies to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Part two of the project was for CPAP to use the high-res files to make full-size copies of various pieces. Listen, the duplicates look amazing, just like the originals, but here is the extra awesome part. When we asked CPAP to make the copies on the same substrate as the originals, Elisa agreed. We have pencil sketches on sketch paper, acrylics and oils on canvas, and watercolors on watercolor paper. They are almost impossible to distinguish from the originals. Why did we go to so much trouble? My mother was adored by everyone, and everyone in the family wanted to have some of her art when she died. Many of her paintings were wanted by several people. Everyone got some originals, but for those who still didn't get a piece they really wanted, CPAC's excellent work (and courage for agreeing to do this for us), made it possible to have it. We're forever grateful, Elisa and CPAC!!!

I am a fine artist, and I only trust CPAC for fulfilling my premium quality fine art prints! They are meticulous with fine tuning each digital record versus the actual piece, and the quality of prints is just amazing. I print standard lower end products elsewhere sometimes, but again, only CPAC for premium higher end products on my website. Highly recommend! They also support me on digital captures from my originals, and I love their level of meticulousness and communication.

I wanted to get a digital print I ordered scaled up and professionally printed as a gift. Elisa, one of the co-founders of CPAC, took the time to talk me through the whole process and even give input on what would look best. The studio space is so cool and clearly loved and well taken care of. I'm very glad I sought out a local solution rather than an impersonal online service. The print turned out perfect and this organization and the folks behind it are 100% worth supporting. Will be ordering again!

Columbus Printed Arts Center does a fantastic job at turning my original watercolor paintings into prints, As an artist, it's very difficult to find a printer that can accurately translate my work into prints, and Columbus Printed Arts Center always exceeds my expectations. I would highly recommend them to any fine artist looking to make reproductions of their work.
