There’s something truly satisfying about seeing your artwork turned into a beautiful print. Whether you’re a professional artist with a growing portfolio or someone who enjoys creating in your spare time, turning your work into a high-quality print allows it to be shared and enjoyed in a more tangible way. Your creativity can live on a wall, sit proudly in a frame, or even travel across the world to someone who connects with it.
At Colourstream, we’ve been working with artists, photographers, illustrators and designers for over three decades. Based in Farnham, Surrey, we’re known for our friendly service, attention to detail and genuine expertise. When it comes to art printing, we’re more than just a production house. We’re a team that understands the creative process and works with you to bring your ideas to life.
From Idea to Print
Printing your artwork is more than just pressing a button. It’s a careful process that requires technical skill and a good understanding of materials, colours, and finishes. The choice of paper, the quality of the ink, and even how a piece is trimmed and packaged can make a big difference in how the final product looks and feels.
Our team at Colourstream knows this inside and out. We’re not a faceless online platform; we work closely with each client to ensure the result matches their expectations. Whether you’re printing a one-off gift for a friend or preparing a full run for your Etsy shop, we’re here to guide you through the process.
For the Hobbyist and the Professional
Art printing isn’t just for professionals with exhibitions or agents. If you’ve created a piece you’re proud of, such as a digital drawing, a watercolour painting or a fine art photograph, turning it into a print can be an incredibly rewarding experience. You don’t need to be selling your work or building a brand to enjoy seeing it presented with care and craftsmanship.
That said, for professionals and independent sellers, high-quality prints are essential. They reflect your standards, build trust with buyers, and ensure that your work is represented in the best possible light. On platforms like Etsy and Not On The High Street, buyers expect a polished product, and having prints that do your work justice is crucial.

Selling Your Prints
Many of our clients sell their work online, and we’ve seen first-hand how a well-produced print can help a small creative business thrive. We’re here to support artists who are just getting started, as well as those growing an established following.
If you’re selling through platforms like Etsy, it’s important that your art prints not only look professional but also hold up over time. Customers notice the difference between a standard print and one that’s been carefully made using quality inks and paper.
In addition to fine art prints, we also produce poster prints and banners, which can be ideal for events, promotions or simply offering a wider range of products to your customers. These are printed with the same care and attention to detail, so your work is always shown at its best.
Make It Personal
Not all art prints are for sale. Sometimes, you just want a favourite piece framed in your home, or you’re creating a gift that’s unique and meaningful. We print for personal projects too, and we treat every order with the same level of care. Whether it’s a drawing from your child, a cherished photo, or a piece you created on a whim, we’ll help you turn it into something you’ll be proud to display.
Let’s Get Started
Printing your art can feel like a big step, especially if you’re new to it. That’s why we’ve kept our process simple and our service friendly. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you get in touch. We’re happy to offer advice, help prepare your files, and talk through what you’re trying to achieve.
If you’re based in Farnham or the surrounding areas, you’re welcome to pop in and see some of our paper types and sample prints in person. You can also reach us by phone on 01252 336513 or fill out our contact form and we’ll be in touch soon.
