About Us

First of all we are NOT a factory for making prints. All of our team are graduate artists in their own right.

Your print will be actually looked at by a real live person and if we don't think it will work the way you want it to we will contact you and tell you.

We have been making digital prints since 1996. We have made more than 10,000 original works for more than 1,000 artists and fine art photographers. Work printed at Silicon have been featured in galleries and museums all over the world, a prestigious one was in MOMA's Since 2000: Printmaking Now.

Our address and phone number is not hidden, just click the contact link and you can speak to one of us immediately or your e-mail will be answered promptly. In you are in the area please come and visit us. We are in the center of the arts district in Philadelphia - a city brimming with public and private art.

Turnaround
If you want fast and cheap this is the wrong place. Our normal turnaround is 2 - 3 days; we are going to look carefully at your image on one of our color calibrated screens and then examine the final print. This takes time, we are not Kinko's or Staples! If you are in a big hurry because of an impending show let us know and we will attempt to turnaround your work in 24 hours.

Shipping
Smaller prints we try to ship flat, otherwise we will ship in a 6" tube (200lb test).
