Uptown Fine Art Printing Studio

Antoon, owner of Uptown Fine Art Printing Studio Inc. was
born nearby Brugge, Belgium . At sixteen, he started as an
apprentice in a family owned print shop. Back then, the print
shop used Linotype machines and Letterpresses*. Later
on they made the transition towards Offset Printing*.

As an apprentice, he learned about different types of paper,
learned how to print, bind books, to be precise, patience and hard
work. Antoon acquired skill in mixing colors. Not using a scale but
intuition,  a connection with his palette knife and the gamut of colors.
Later on, he worked in other small and big print shops. Each one
more advanced in speed and technology.

As an business owner, “Combining his mastery and the interaction
with his customers seems to be the perfect way to reach the
goal that Antoon is trying to achieve”.

Diplomas: Letterpress, Graphic Design, Offset Printing,

and Color Correction Specialist.

Later, he worked at Bruce McGaw Graphics, a Fine Art Publishing
Company before starting his own company in 2007.
