Frank Van Riper & Judith Goodman:
“We cannot recommend Old Town Editions too highly…we/I have been working with them literally for decades for all our exhibition work and they simply are the best. The owner, Rachel Baron, is delightful and her staff also is great. They have a beautiful office/display space in Old Town that is a cinch to get to.
Linda Griffin, Watercolor Painter, (Winterville, NC):
“I have been using Old Town Editions for many years. The quality of work and outstanding service has forced me to drive from my relocated home in NC each time I have new work to reproduce! Again, I want to thank them for the outstanding job and concern for my schedule. Also Pat, thank you for taking the time to answer my friend’s questions about the process and distribution possibilities. When we left there last week my friend discovered she had lost a ring. We called from car and he said he would look around. Upon returning to the area where we had parked, we found Pat searching the pavement. That is certainly beyond the call!”
“The experience of dealing with them is so worth the time to come from NC!”
The proofs arrived this morning and they are WONDERFUL!!!! The color looks spot on (as best as I can tell without the originals). Certainly, the overall effect is very soft, which is what I aim for, and still all the minute detail is captured.

I wanted to let you know that my giclees and originals have arrived and are all unpacked. (You guys do an incredible packing job!) They were here a bit before 11 this morning, a full day ahead of schedule. (As I tracked them — so EASY —- I realized they would be here sometime today.) And they look absolutely wonderful. I have examined the top one of each image and am so pleased. The color is so rich and the detail … well it’s all there! I can’t wait for the gallery owners to see them. They are magnificent!
Old Town Editions has consistently reproduced my photography in absolutely stunning detail, color fidelity and consistency. Pat and Rachel are true masters of the craft of fine art reproduction and can assist in all levels of the process, from image prep to clean-up to complex file adjustments- they operate on a “CAN-DO” mentality and approach. They have done research to come up with the finest products and processes, they implement them efficiently and are extremely engaged with the client at all stages of the print development. I’ve had works reproduced on cotton rag as well as canvas and the results have always been a clear extension of my work, done in a timely and pleasant manner. Top notch and most highly recommended!!!
Terry Sitz, Mixed Media Artist (Silver Spring, MD):
“There are not enough adjectives to describe how magnificent the prints are that you crafted…truly an art in itself and in a class beyond anything I have seen or thought possible. There are printers, there may be a few print makers…Old Town Editions are print crafters. I feel like I have added Rachel & Pat to my art “team”…this is not a one time transaction, but a long term partnership! Thank you!!”
Charles Butler, Photographer (Alexandria, VA):
“Old Town Editions does amazing, high quality work. While the finished product truly speaks for itself, their customer service and support through the whole printing process is the best I have ever worked with. Highly recommend!!!”
Phil Trager, photographer:
“I wanted to thank you again for all of the sensitivity, intelligence and dedication that you applied to making my giclee prints. I think the results are spectacular and you made that possible. I look forward to a long and continuing relationship over the years.”
Old Town Editions provides the most outstanding work in the industry. If you want the best in fine art printing they are the solution. Great customer service and nice people to work with.

Gary Hesse, Associate Director of Light Work:
“The…edition of 75 John Pfahl prints looks great. Thanks for all of your help, without you [Chris] and Mark’s help this project would not have been possible….The exhibition has been installed, and it is receiving rave reviews.”
John Pfahl, photographer (Fairfield, CT):
“You might be interested to know that the curators at the [museum] loved the portfolio and are presenting it to their acquisitions committee–the entire twenty prints!”
Jean Grastorf, watercolor painter (Springfield, IL):
“The giclees are fantastic! They look like the ‘real thing’ and the paper, printing and presentation are just great.”

Arthur Dion, Gallery NAGA (Boston, MA):
“The color prints and the black-and-whites look terrific….The color prints have a fidelity and pop such that all comers are at first taking them as Polaroids. Today that included a critic who has looked at Elsa’s work for decades.”
Carol Bolsey, Oil painter (Kingston, MA):
“Old Town Editions has made prints of my artworks for over twenty years. Their work is superb: color is exact, sharpness and texture are precise and tactile, and the staff is helpful and amiable. recommend them in the highest terms.”

We are proud to be associated with a digital fine art printmaking studio of their caliber that provides their clients with a genuine level of professional commitment and trust along with their invaluable attention to detail.”

“I just wanted to thank you so much for all the time and attention you gave me last week. It really was a great experience and certainly exceeded all my expectations! I left with lots of ideas and guidence to move forward. Looking forward to seeing my proofs – and beyond”
Alvena McCormick
“Old Town Editions is the best company you could work with for competency and quality. My clients rave about the quality of the print! I go to the TOP to get the best print and service every and have for years.”
Lonnie Bergeron, Artifact Reproduction
“Old Town Editions…fast, friendly, affordable, high quality. I needed two important, old photographs reproduced from a page in a book, both enlarging and preserving as much detail as possible so I could frame the resulting print. Without damaging the book, Old Town Editions enlarged and improved the quality of the photographs, printed them on one of several choices of high grade paper, and they even gave me the image on a CD. It is impossible to tell the prints were reproduced from a bound, hard cover book.
We have worked with you for a very long time. Well over 20 years but I have not worried about the time because of the quality work that you do. There is no technical problem or printing concern that you have not been able to work with and I do think you are the best available. The confidence I have in the color capture, and the security of both my work and Brigitte’s work is unquestioned. I have used other printers in all methods of reproduction, and the professional work you do has not been matched.
