Gicl\u00e9e printing, done properly. From day one.<\/h1>\n

Kilford Studios is a fine art print studio in Lisbon, certified by Canson\u00ae and Hahnem\u00fchle\u00ae<\/strong>.
\nWe work with artists, photographers, illustrators, galleries, and museums \u2014 on prints that hold up to serious scrutiny.
\n 
\nPrecision by habit, not by exception.<\/strong>
\nEvery print we produce is made on Canon imagePROGRAF PRO printers, with custom ICC profiles built for each paper we carry. Colour management isn’t an afterthought \u2014 it’s the foundation. Papers are selected from Hahnem\u00fchle and Canson Infinity, both of whom certify our studio. That certification isn’t marketing \u2014 it means our colour standards, profiling, and output are independently verified.
\n 
\nNick Kilford runs the studio and leads all client consultations. Lu\u00edsa Caldeira manages framing, mounting, supplier relations, and studio administration \u2014 custom framing is available in-house for all print orders.
\nBetween them, they’ve built a studio that works at the pace and standard that serious work demands. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Two ways to work with us.<\/h2>\n

Some projects need a conversation before they need a print.
\nFor those, the Creative Guidance Session<\/a> is a 45-minute consultation \u2014 in person in Lisbon, or via video \u2014 where we review your files, discuss paper options, and map out what the finished print needs to do. The session fee is 45\u20ac, credited to your first order.
\nFor clients who know what they want, the Kilfigurator<\/a> handles everything online: paper selection, sizing, 3D frame preview, and file upload. Same quality, less back-and-forth.
\n 
\nOur clients include independent artists and illustrators building limited edition print runs, photographers printing for exhibition and sale, galleries and institutions with exacting reproduction standards, and interior designers sourcing large-format work for hospitality and residential projects.
\nIf the work matters, the print should match it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n

Where is Kilford Studios located?<\/strong>
\nWe’re based in Lisbon, Portugal. Local clients can visit the studio by appointment. We also ship to several European countries.
\n 
\nWhat certifications does Kilford Studios hold?<\/strong>
\nWe are certified by both Canson and Hahnem\u00fchle \u2014 two of the leading fine art paper manufacturers. Certification means our colour management and output standards meet their verified criteria.
\n 
\nWhat kind of work do you print?<\/strong>
\nPhotography, illustration, painting reproduction, limited edition print runs, and exhibition work. If it requires precision, we’re the right studio for it.
\n 
\nDo I need to be local to work with you?<\/strong>
\nNo. Remote clients have access to the same papers, profiles, and quality. We offer video consultations and ship across Europe. Most of the process happens online.
\n 
\nWhat’s the difference between a Creative Guidance Session and the Kilfigurator?<\/strong>
\nThe CGS<\/a> is for clients who want guidance before they commit \u2014 a conversation about the work, the paper, and what the print needs to do. The Kilfigurator is for clients who know their specs and want to order directly. Both routes produce the same quality output.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
