DENVER, CO. U.S.A. – Reed Art & Imaging, one of the Rocky Mountain Region’s longest running fine art printmakers, has reached a licensing agreement with Diasec USA/Canada to be the first North American manufacturer of the Swiss fine art presentation system. The process offers several advantages to Reed’s fine art clients that is lacking in current available technology.

As the go-to printmaker for many fine artists around the world, Reed Art & Imaging has a long-standing reputation for quality.  “Quality has always been our number one priority, and this agreement with Diasec is an extension of our commitment to the artists who use us.” says Bob Reed, Owner of the Lakewood, Colorado company.  He goes on to say: “Diasec has a world-wide reputation with museums and galleries as the absolute finest method of presenting fine art prints. As the first in North America to get on-board, we are setting a new bar for our competition, and it’s our clients that will reap the benefits”

The Swiss process developed by Diasec-Sovilla uses a closely guarded recipe of ingredients, and highly specialized equipment.  “It’s definitely a serious commitment of resources, and producing the prints is not for the faint of heart, but the quality improvements are worth it” continues Bob Reed.

Equipment and trainers for the process arrive from Europe on August 27, 2018, with a projected launch event in early September 2018.

Reed has developed the “TrueArt Process,” a methodology focused on maximizing the visual equity artists invest in their works of art. Reed also provides mounting and lamination services, large format pigment, metal, photographic prints and installation.
