Aluminum print arrived earlier this afternoon. Absolutely stunning. Wow! Very nicely designed shipping enclosure too. First class work my friend! Lots of reflections in the daytime from windows opposite but gorgeous in the evening when lit. Very pleased! Michael Sherman Photography, Vancouver, BC

Christina Stobbs, N. Vancouver, BC "I only discovered PrintArtPhotography.ca several months ago through a friend of mine. Since then I’ve had Mark work on several challenging files and have been amazed at the detail, clarity and colors he has been able to bring out in the photos. Using 'Print Art Photography' has enabled me to have the photos printed in a much larger size than I had originally thought possible . Mark’s attention to detail and his willingness to go above and beyond to meet tight schedules have been invaluable. Thanks so much." Hilda Reimer, Vavenby, BC
"Each time I receive an aluminum print from Mima, I'm amazed at how clear and vibrant it is. I've printed on many different mediums before, but nothing else gives that immediate head turning "wow" factor that infused aluminum prints do. When properly lit, they're the single most striking way to display a photograph, and Mima's prints are of exceptional quality, as is their customer service. When it comes to printing on aluminum, I won't go anywhere else." Joel Baziuk, Elysium Photography, Vancouver, BC
"As an emerging artist, Mark at Mima has been a great resource for lifting my work to a higher level. The excellent quality and dynamic colours of an image on satin canvas are exceptional. The vibrancy, clarity and overall presentation of the same image on aluminum takes the viewer right into the image. Mark is a master of customer service, ensuring that one’s work is presented at its best and sharing his knowledge with his artists.” Laurie McDonald, Victoria, BC

"Thank you for the prints, I ventured to get them out properly last night for a buyer. They look stunning, the quality is excellent, I will definitely come back to you in future."
L.J. Throstle Vancouver, BC "I had driven up to visit Mark to discuss the reproduction of my work, realizing it might pose a challenge as my drawings are colourful mixed media - pastel, conte and gouache on heavy water colour paper and rather delicate to handle. Mark was gracious and hospitable, showing me around his studio/printshop and explaining the process. It was obvious that his knowledge, skill and professionalism are exemplary whilst his artistic sensibilities wanted him to produce the most effective prints possible and so Mark came up with the idea of creating a cast shadow around the drawings to highlight the deckle edges of the paper - an absolutely stunning effect! I left five drawings and returned the next morning to find he had worked until the early hours to have the prints ready for me, and then they treated me to a delicious brunch. What kind and amazing service! Not only is Mark’s work of the highest quality but I feel like I have made a friend. He cares about his customers, about their art, and about every detail of his own work." Annette Nieukerk, Surrey, BC
"I have had the pleasure of working with Mark for over a year now and I won't go anywhere else. His attention to detail and use of Adobe programs to ensure the feel and textures of my work
come out in all my prints is exactly what I want as an artist." Erin McLeod, Vancouver, BC Olympic Bronze Medalist, Artist, Partner in Noble Motives Collective "Working with Mima has truly been a pleasure. Whether it be the quality of the photography or the impeccable giclée prints they produces, Mima's standards of excellence surpass even my own. This is both admirable and essential when dealing with art replication and artist satisfaction. Prompt, amiable service is hard to come by these days… but all it takes is working with Mima!"
Dana Statham, Victoria, BC "I recently used the services of Mima to produce an image on aluminum. The result was exceptional. The colors were vibrant and the product flawless. I was impressed with the constant communication and follow up which ensured the piece arrived on time for the show…A great success!"
Jim Wight, Victoria, BC "I delivered the print you did for me recently, to my customer last night and saw it for the first time. We were amazed! What a BEAUTIFUL job you did. He kept wanting to touch it as if it was 3D (especially where the strings are located). Anyways, great job, thrilled to see what you did with it.... THANKS A MILLION!"
Darrell Swanson, Maple Ridge, BC "Thanks - the prints arrived last Friday and they are just great. The detail is amazing, this is the best repro I've seen. I don't know whether to sell or keep them!"
Meghan Hildebrand, Sunshine Coast, BC "Knowing my mixed media work is difficult to photograph, I was absolutely delighted to see the quality of the images from Mima. They were seamlessly lit, bright, clear .. so close to the originals that I can use them for reference. This has been my first foray into limited edition prints and Mark has been wonderful to work with. He involved me in every part of the process and consulted me on every image. He is a perfectionist!" Bill Wilkinson, Vancouver, BC
