ABOUT
Richard Quinn Studio is run by a team of creatives from print, textile and fashion backgrounds. We are passionate about print, and we know how important it is to get the finish just right - we print our own fabrics in-house, and offer the same care and attention to our clients’ work as we do to our own. Whether you choose to print on one of our in-house bases or provide your own fabric, we are happy to sample to get the perfect finish.
No matter how big or small your job is, our sublimation printing service is here to help. We operate with no minimum order quantity, making our service a great option for students and emerging designers. Meanwhile, we have the capacity to carry out larger print runs for those wishing to go into production; clients include JW Anderson, Burberry and Disney Theatrical Productions to name but a few. We are always happy to chat about print, so feel free to get in touch via phone or email with any enquiries.
PRINTING SERVICES
SUBLIMATION PRINTING
We offer a sublimation printing service, using state of art Epson technology and materials to achieve a high quality finish. The sublimation process involves first printing an artwork on paper, then using heat to transfer it onto fabric.
Unlike many traditional fabric printing methods, sublimation printing uses little to no water, lessening its impact on the environment. Alongside this, the process does not require each colour to be printed as a separate layer, meaning that your print jobs can be carried out on a very quick turnaround.
We know that sometimes you need an urgent job done, and there can be last minute changes on a project.
We completely understand this and are more than happy to accommodate you with our express service!
Our express service offers a same day turnaround - sometimes a job can even be done in a few hours.
So what are you waiting for? Feel free to get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Is there a limit to the number of colours I can print?No, there is no limit! Sublimation printing is like digital printing, it prints the same as how your artwork looks like!
-
How can I be sure my artwork will come out exactly as I want it?We would always recommend sampling before printing full fabric lengths, to ensure that the colour, quality and scale of your artwork is exactly right. Printing small strike-offs beforehand is the best way to make sure that you are happy with the result.
