  Cat D. asked:

  Hello all! Ive just joined this group. Im a freelance illustrator/artist and i have just started commissioning and selling original work and would like to sell prints. Where would be the best place to go? Do you copy the work yourself or do they copy and print it for you? Also what is best type of material/paper to sell prints on?

  

  Kate A. replied:

  Hey Cat! We work with artist every day both copying, printing and managing editions for you. We can also give you wholesale pricing through Atkins Pro. The critical thing with copying work is making sure the prints match as closely as possible. We also have been working with artists like Emma Hack for example to build amazing exhibitions of their work from print to framing and finishing. We are the oldest lab in Australia and big supporters of artists across Australia. Would love to help you out. Check out our website on http://atkins.com.au

  Anna C. asked:

  Hello fellow freelancers, I was wondering if anybody knew good places were you can make a small amount of art prints.That would be great if they had a good selection of papers and were helpful to an artist who knows nothing about technical aspects of printing. Thanks a lot!

  

  Kate A. replied:

  Clark S. asked:

  Hello, FCOA! I am looking for a large, full colour print (3m x 1.5m) to paste up. Does anyone printer recommendations? Cheers in advance!

  

  Kate B. replied:

  Yes. We (Atkins Photo Lab www.atkins.com.au) can do any size print you want and we can even do wall paper material that you just peel the backing off and stick to anything without damaging. BUT. We are fine art printers. We aim for photographic perfection and you might just want something rough and short term. In which case yes any signage company can do that.

  Kimberley J. asked:

  Random question - does anyone know where I can get some photo prints done on some textured art paper? I already have the paper, and so far the response seems to be (from a couple of printers i've already contacted) that they only print off rolls that they already have (makes sense), but I don't want to waste what I have as I have quite a few sheets. Any help?? Thanks!!

  

  Kate B. replied:

  We might be able to help you. Atkins Photo Lab is my family business. What kind of paper do you have? If you call the lab I can fill them in with what you're wanting. Phone 8431 6755. David, our fine art printer would have gone by now but he's there tomorrow. We have printed on all kinds of strange papers that artists bring in for different projects. http://atkins.com.au

  

  Gee G. replied:

  *does the Atkins chant* I have a not so secret obsession with Davids mad print skills. I have had that poor man do some pretty impossible to print pieces and he nails it every time. Hope you sort your art paper situation with them!

  Dave B. asked:

  Charlotte and I want to play with some 35mm film for upcoming personal projects... Where's a best place to buy and process negs? Bonus question : What's your favourite portrait films in this category (B&W and Colour)?

  

  Andrew B. replied:

  I'll give you the answer to your first question in a nutshell - no where in Perth. Film is so expensive to buy here as are the labs for processing/scanning and honestly I've just been disappointed with the scanning all the Perth labs do. I'm ordering film in bulk from B&H (New York), still works out heaps cheaper even with shipping. So far as processing & scanning goes, there's a few labs over east I'd recommend. Try RAW http://rdfl.com.au/ Sydney, Hillvale http://hillvale.com.au/ Melbourne or Atkins http://atkins.com.au/ Adelaide. There's also some awesome labs in the US like Indie & FIND and yes, it's worth the extra postage! My favorite films? For colour, always been a massive Portra 400 fan but loving the Ektar lately. For BW I can't give up my HP5. Although I'll confess I do love chromogenic BW films (traditionalists will be cringing, lol). BTW if you're not looking for pro film straight away head down to Coles or big w and find some trusty old Kodak gold400, cheap as chips and does the job.

  Does anybody know a good printer in Adelaide who does A1 prints? Not many printers do prints that large.

  Shanna J. asked:

  Anyone know of a place in Australia where I can get a metallic print mounted on MDF with an acrylic face? I have some clients that got one through another photographer in Sydney four years ago and she has since moved to NZ. I tried emailing her to ask about her supplier but she never replied to my email. Any ideas?

  

  Darcy P. replied:

  You could try atkins - http://www.atkins.com.au/ - they do diasec (proper acrylic mounting instead of acrylic sandwiching) and then you could mount it on a board after that? maybe?

  Cat D. asked:

  Can anyone recommend any good framers around the north eastern suburbs? Ive been going to to frame connection in tea tree plaza for ages with my artwork and they still dont recognize me as a regular customer. Their framing is good but would much prefer going to a smaller business who would give me much better customer service. I regularly need artwork framed.

  

  Kate A. replied:

  Hey! My small family business Atkins Photo Lab offer a good range of custom framing and if you need something specific we can always order it in. We frame for artists and photographers all the time and most very large stuff gets passed on to us from other framers as we have a big space set up. We can also frame with glass, optically pure acrylic or museum glass depending on your needs. http://atkins.com.au
