Protect What You’ve Built

A print is an investment — in your time, your craft, and your reputation. Specialty add-ons are how you protect that investment. From UV-resistant protective sprays to professional canvas varnishing, our finishing services are designed to extend the life of your prints, enhance their visual depth, and ensure they hold up whether they’re hanging in a gallery, shipped across the country, or sitting in a collector’s home for decades. At Pitch Black Printing Co., we don’t consider a print truly finished until it’s protected as well as it’s printed.

Custom Touches That Set Your Work Apart

Beyond protection, our add-ons give artists and photographers the tools to differentiate their prints in a crowded market. Custom borders add a curated, editorial quality to editions. Proofing packages eliminate costly color surprises before a full run. And our color-corrected digitization bundle means artists without professional scanning equipment can still start their print journey with a file that’s truly worthy of the work. These aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the finishing layer that separates a good print from an unforgettable one.

Services

Print Protective Spray

A UV-resistant protective coating applied to finished prints, guarding against fading, moisture, fingerprints, and everyday handling wear. Available in matte, satin, and gloss finishes to complement your paper and aesthetic.

Canvas Varnishing

A professional varnish applied to canvas prints for added depth, protection, and a polished gallery-quality surface. Available in matte, satin, or gloss — each adding a distinct character to the finished piece.

Custom Borders

Designed borders added to your prints for a curated, editorial, or branded look. Particularly effective for series work, limited editions, or artists building a recognizable visual identity across their print catalog.
