On November 12th from 3:30pm-7:30pm Pi Studio Printing will be presenting an exhibition exploring a new 21st Century artistic medium that uses secret techniques of the Old Masters. Please join us for an event with John Fielder, award-winning Ventura County artist as he explores a burgeoning new realm of digital art in which “the hand returns to the lens.”
This exhibition has been inspired by David Hockney’s meticulously researched tome, “Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters,” in which he declares that great works of Western Art from the 1500’s through the 1800’s could not have been created without the secretive use of mirrors and lenses as tools to transfer living images onto a canvas. Today many artists use digital photography and Photoshop much in the same manner to create their work.
Stop by our studio to meet John Fielder and view his beautiful fine art photographic conversions. Learn about his unique digital creation methods. His subjects very from sports to country life to colorful Italian scenes. There is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy. “The Afternoon Patrol” shown here is only one example from his award-winning “Roosters of Fillmore” series.
Refreshments will served and prizes from Vie, the Spa, Pi Studio Printing and others will be raffled off.
Looking for unique holiday gifts? The appealing range of Fielder’s pieces presented will be for sale throughout November and also on our website.
We are so excited to introduce this new substrate, Photo Tex, to our long list of materials on which we can print. We can now create gorgeous adhesive posters from your photos that feel like wall paper once applied. The beauty of these “Wall Skins” is that you don’t need tape, thumbtacks or staples and when you remove the poster it doesn’t harm the wall and it leaves no sticky residue behind. AND you can peel it off and move it somewhere else – COUNTLESS TIMES.
These fabric posters are great for murals and can be printed up to 5′ wide x 50′ long. They are also perfect for dorm rooms, retail displays, and windows. They will stick to just about any surface; glass and metal included. Cutting custom shapes is a breeze too.
Don’t let your kids ruin your walls any longer!
Watch this super-quick demonstration video to see how fabulous this stuff is:

We have been busy mastering the ability to magically mount prints to the back of Plexiglas. This allows light to shine through from the sides and creates an overall glow for photos and art. Mounting the Plexiglas to a bamboo or other type of board allows for even more light to get behind the print. We are excited to add this new technique to our arsenal of spectacular printing tricks. Call us for details on this process and let us show you how we can display your favorite photo or work of art in the most dynamic fashion.
In an effort to promote some of the talented artists and photographers here in Ventura County, we have created an virtual store that allows folks to purchase museum-grade prints online. By offering the works in a variety of mediums such as canvas gallery wraps and simple posters, anyone can now own gorgeous works by local artists in a price range that makes sense. If you love living in Ventura County and want to express it through your home and office decor then wander through our Studio Shop and pick out a few pieces that reflect your personal taste. Check back often as we will be adding new pieces and artists on a regular basis.
If you are in the VC and looking for an avenue to sell your work feel free to contact us to see if you qualify to join the Pi Studio crew of accomplished photographers and artists.
We are opening our doors on March 12th to artists, photographers, friends, family, clients, and design professionals! To showcase the capabilities of our latest addition to the Pi family—the giant Epson Stylus Pro 11880 printer, we will be showing the breathtaking work of David Pu’u, editorial photographer and cinematographer. David will be in attendance and to share his experiences traveling the world photographing and filming surfers, sea life and other wondrous phenomena.
Please join us for refreshments and great company as you tour the Pi Studio Printing facility. This grand event takes place two days prior to our favorite holiday, Pi Day! In honor of this glorious day we will, of course, have much pie on hand as well as other roundish treats.
Pi Studio Printing will be raffling off all kinds of great prizes like gift certificates to Vie, the Spa upstairs, David Pu’u prints and more!
Leave work a bit early on Friday and
come have some pie with Pu’u.
(Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.)

Hello everyone! Welcome to Pi Studio Printing. We offer museum grade, large format, digital pigment printing to artists, photographers, and professionals alike. Pi Studio Printing began its life as an extension of our graphic design services at Pi Design. We quickly discovered that we are very skilled at this printing thing because we are so passionate about color and details. As designers, our appreciation of all things photography, art and design related allow us extra insight into what makes a piece great as well as an understanding of how important the final printing process is. We have expanded to offer our print services to other professionals and provide them with the same high quality service we deliver to all of our design clients.
Our Epson Stylus Pro 11880 is a monster of a printer but equally important is the mastermind behind the wheel. Taming the beast and channeling its power on a daily basis is longtime printmaster and process color enthusiast, Steve Given. Having grown up in his father’s print business, Steve brings a lifetime of experience and a wealth of printing knowledge to our humble studio. AND there just isn’t a nicer guy around. He is always willing to share his knowledge to aid anyone in producing the best print possible and will probably even carry the finished product out to the car for you.
Pi Studio Printing boasts the highest printing quality and promises a superior customer experience. We will “out service” anyone and promise that you will be happy with your final product. We look forward to fulfilling your professional large format printing needs while making your customer experience the most pleasant in the universe!
