Artists Supporting Artists
Print Art is the vision of John Botton, a fine art photographer. On April 1, 2015, John took a leap of faith. In the double garage of his home, he launched Print Art—equipped with a large-format printer, a cutting and matting table, and a camera set up for artwork digitization. The business began with a trade—John swapped a tripod for a failing 27-inch iMac, restored it, and got to work printing stunning photographs and artwork.
For two years, artists and photographers visited his garage “studio,” where they were greeted not only by John but also by his two bullmastiff dogs. As word spread about his impeccable printing and dedication to customer service, his client base grew, and so did his collection of printers. John moved Print Art to a dedicated studio in Takapuna, expanded his team and with passion, precision, and a relentless pursuit of quality, Print Art has become a trusted name in fine art printing.
Whether you’re an artist, photographer, or creative professional, John and the team are here to bring your vision to life.
Our Framing Is On Fire!
With Print Art aquiring a new underpinner in 2026 and a much larger selection of mouldings, Nicola is enjoying a busy time in the framing department. We of course offer you the option of two glasses – a regular glass or the highest quality glass available – AR70 Art Glass. This museum-grade glass is engineered to minimize reflections, allowing viewers to fully appreciate your artwork without the distraction of glare. AR70 Art Glass also provides superior protection against UV rays.
For artists and photographers working with canvas prints, we offer expert canvas stretching services. Our tray frames are designed to add a contemporary, minimalist touch to your canvas prints. These frames create a floating effect by leaving a small gap between the canvas and the frame, giving the artwork a subtle yet impactful border.
Our interactive frame builder gives you a real-time preview with live pricing, making it easy to design the perfect look for your space before you order. Upload your artwork, explore frame and matboard combinations, and see your custom piece come to life instantly.
This new tool is designed to make the framing process incredibly simple while delivering a premium online experience from start to finish.
