About Art4site Ltd.
We have been dedicated in providing high-end fine art printing and scanning services using the latest techniques since 1999.
Background
Originally set up in May 1999 by Director and artist Michael Setek, to provide specialist Fine Art reprographics and printing services for artists, publishers and galleries. As a graduate of Chelsea College of Arts, Michael saw the opportunity to work with other artists in the developing area of digital fine art print media and reprographics, now commonly used many in their art practice.
A great deal of research, time and investment in fine art scanning and printing has enabled Art4site to utilise the most up-to-date techniques. We are now highly experienced in this specialist field having worked with a vast variety of visual artwork and many projects of varying complexity.
Our personal input into the process makes a real difference to the finished giclee prints and cards where the quality stands out. Such a focused knowledge has attracted clients who want to get the best out of their artwork with the knowledge that our speciality is in working exclusively with painting, drawings, illustrations and art that incorporates the use of digital media.

Testimonials
We receive many recommendations from our customers which is how we gain a large proportion of our work.
Art4site provides a first class service and has consistently delivered fantastic exhibition prints for us. We would recommend the service to anyone whose business relies on quality and excellent customer service.
After several years of scanning and printing my fine pen & ink work with Art4site I have to give some credit to them, as part of my success is due to their meticulous scanning of large originals and high quality printing which has been praised both in England and abroad.
Art4site’s prints are very good. They have a great skill in reproducing the right colour and have a wonderful choice of papers (also canvas). I have also had greetings cards printed by them, and all the buyers of my cards have commented on the quality.
Art4site has been doing my prints for me for several years and I am completely delighted with the results, which, because of the quality of the scans and the colour matching, as well as the high quality papers he prints on, are very hard to tell apart from my original watercolours. They are conscientious, fast and very reliable, and for this high quality product his pricing is very competitive.
I cannot recommend Art4site highly enough: as a relatively new business Art4site patient help took us through our first, hesitating steps of setting up; encouraged our further progressions along the way, and now has become a very welcome stalwart in our plans for growth and developement. For a personal, knowledgeable service, Art4site couldn’t be bettered.
The people Art4site are great to work with, knowledgeable, caring, with a great eye for colour and detail. I have always found their giclée prints of a fantastic quality, and I would highly recommend them to everyone.
