Museum-grade art book printing press

Products / Art Books & Catalogues

Museum-Grade Printing for Art That Deserves It.

For galleries, artists, museums, and publishers who understand that a catalogue is not a record of the work — it is the work, in another form.

Art book and catalogue printing is where Chromex Press does some of our most demanding work. Color fidelity matters here more than anywhere — a single ΔE drift can turn a masterwork's crimson into a muddled red. Our master colorist personally oversees color approval on every art book project.

We handle tipped-in prints, fold-outs, varnished reproductions, multi-stock interiors, and the full range of binding methods preferred by fine art publishers worldwide.

Why It Matters

Because a monograph outlives the exhibition. A catalogue outlives the season. We print them like they'll outlive us, too.
