Creating masterpieces that exceed expectations, one print at a time.
At Printer of Dreams, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, large-format Giclee prints for exhibitions, portfolios, advertising, and for those who simply want to hang a beautiful piece of art at home. Founded in 2013 by two artists, Ruth Waters and Orlando Robinson, we have been building a reputation for delivering exceptional prints at affordable prices.
Our History
Ruth and Orlando, both artists themselves, recognized a need for a printing service that could offer top-notch prints at affordable rates. They handpicked the finest papers from brands like Hahnemuhle and Fotospeed, covering a spectrum of needs, budgets, and requirements. In 2019, after six years at the helm, Ruth and Orlando handed over the reins to Milo Steelefox and Gilly Fox. Milo comes from the music and publishing industry, while Gilly has a background in curation and fine art, having worked for a national touring exhibition organization. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to their new joint venture.
