Yannick Yanoff with one of his Epson printers

Time Art Gallery’s Art on the Street team has been on a tour of UK festivals selling signed, collectable prints and original works of art produced on Epson inkjet printers.

The limited edition prints were sold at the summer festivals including Glastonbury, T in the Park, Latitude, Womad, Bestival, Strawberry Fields, V, Reading and Leeds.

The pieces on sale represented the works of a number of independent London-based artists such as Dan Avenell, Lewis Campbell, Steve Moss and Maria Luisa Azzini. 

The company is an artist run fine art publisher established over seven years ago by photographer Yannick Yanoff and artist Michael Kozlov. Originally set up to sell artworks from an outlet in London’s Camden Lock Market, the company expanded and opened further outlets in Greenwich Market and Portobello Road Market, all of which are still in operation. 

The company currently owns six Epson printers: three 44 inch Stylus Pro 9800 models and three 24 inch Stylus Pro 7890s, all supplied by Epson distributor Colourbyte.

The company opened stores within four UK shopping centres: Bluewater, Kent; Bullring, Birmingham; Meadowhall, Sheffield; and Touchwood, Solihull, each with its own Epson printer.

This allows it to print on-demand from their artwork collections in-store and offer a bespoke canvas print service so that customers can bring in their own digital images to be printed. The remaining two Epson printers are based at the company’s office in London and are used on a daily basis. 

The artwork is printed onto a range of media including semi-matte proofing paper, glossy photo paper and a range of synthetic canvasses, which are hand stretched onto 4cm deep wooden frames and secured with transparent varnish. As artists, Mr Yanoff and Mr Kozlov are always pushing the boundaries and will often experiment with different media and finishes before placing the finished artworks in their stores or online.

‘Our aim is to produce high-quality professional photographs and fine art prints with high colour accuracy,’ said Mr Yanoff. ‘We use Epson printers because we know we can rely on them to create true-to-original prints that our artists and customers will be happy with. Epson has the best reputation for quality and reliability and the printers are very easy to install and use.’
