Integrating Large Format Digital Printing into your Frame Shop
Are you interested in introducing photo restoration?
Photo print to canvas? or fine art giclee printing?
Please join us to hear about the many options available with:
Jerry Cornelius, Canyon Creek Art in Richardson
Michael Kennedy, Orisons Art & Framing in McKinney
Troy Veluz, ArtHaus Custom Picture Framing in Plano
Each of these individuals have been successful in integrating digital printing into their shop using different approaches in marketing, printing styles and finishing techniques. We will discuss the pros & cons of your shop doing photo restoration; using programs such as PhotoShop or hiring a service do this work for you. We will demonstrate by printing a giclee on a large format Epson 9900 discussing various papers and canvases and how each image lends itself to a particular substrate.
We will also discuss different techniques in finishing and include a demonstration in varnishing techniques on giclee canvas. We will continue with a discussion on different marketing techniques…. whether you are offering the service for you customer’s image or looking for a way to produce and sell your own artwork in your store or on the internet.
And YES! … we are even going to discuss pricing.

Charlie Matthews passed away at his home Saturday night, March 13, 2010
Charlie was on the Board of Directors of PPFA during the 1970s and served at least one term as Treasurer. He had been active in the North Texas Chapter of PPFA for three decades and served in leadership roles at times.
His health had been in decline in recent years. He had fought and conquered throat cancer. Recently, he had been in the hospital for ten days battling congestive heart failure. That problem led to his demise. He spent the last few days at home with the help of Hospice.
For those wishing to make contact.
Charlie’s step daughter is Jorja (pronounced Georgia) Williams, 2214 Lorraine Dr., Carrollton, TX, 75006. The burial will be in Waxahachie, TX. and will be under the direction of the Boze, Mitchell, Mckibben Funeral Home in Waxahachie.
