Joseph and Fine Print were an outstanding company to work with. Joseph took my brittle border fragment and sensitively captured the color quality of the original in a brand new run. Joseph and company were always responsive with clear communication. They provided the product in a timely manner, and my crew loved the product quality for application.

Excellent experience with Fine Print. Joseph and Steven are patient and knowledgeable about all things wallpaper. We had several months of back and forth and many rounds of samples to get the paper just right. In the end our wall looked fabulous. All thanks to the great team at Fine Print! Can't recommend enough!
Fine Print NYC is a 5 Star experience. From the beginning, I was explained the process and was extremely amazed at the quality of the product. I turned a promotional post card into an art print that I was able to convert to custom wallpaper.This is by far the best I have seen. I recommend Fine Print to any and everyone looking for print services in NYC!
