Craftsmanship, made-to-measure, creation, artistic decoration, know-how, fine art printing, innovation

The printing industry has undergone a major transformation thanks to the digital revolution. This revolution has unleashed the creativity of artisan printers, opening the door to the creation of ‘on-demand’ projects, and it is precisely in this way that Muzéo very quickly offered a made-to-measure printing service to the interior design market.

Muzéo's in-house print shop is equipped with a fleet of digital machines, including three plotters, a large-format digital press and 2 cutting machines. Muzéo can print on any material, whether rigid such as dibond and plexiglass, or flexible such as canvas, wallpaper, fabric, canvas, photo paper or adhesive. Our production capacity ranges from very small to large quantities, and we can operate on formats of up to several dozen linear metres for flexible media, and a maximum width of 3m20 for rigid media.

Each print is created and made to measure to meet the specific decoration needs of our customers. The projects are very diverse. Muzéo's art printers juggle daily with printing, cutting, material, colour, manufacturing and finishing constraints to obtain the best possible art print. In addition, Muzéo integrates the entire circuit from the creation of works of art to production. This whole process is Muzéo's greatest asset, a very specific strength. 

The printing workshop is directly linked to the project design and production, framing, finishing, logistics and installation departments. This direct link between all the members of the production chain makes it easy to discuss problems and adapt as quickly as possible to customers' requirements to achieve a final result that meets their expectations.

At Muzéo our art printers pay particular attention to the quality of the printed works and their finish. Each work is unique, so it may have a shiny finish or be made of material. The art printers are there to bring to life what has been thought up by the designers in collaboration with the interior architects or decorators. 

As experts in their field, Muzéo's art printers are also there to work as a team and advise on the best media to ensure that the printed work is faithful to the artist's thoughts. 

Muzéo has been awarded the Ecovadis label, and as such the craftsmen are careful to respect ecological issues and limit the waste they may produce. 

The printing workshops adapt daily to the challenges of embellishing and enhancing printed works. 

‘In terms of production, we were faced with a major challenge: creating a robust 6-metre-long structure, without printing. The idea was to create a fresco of the years and milestones of GSF La Défense. This project required a feasibility study in collaboration with the Muzéo framing workshop. We had to order a specific material, Komacel, and draw up detailed plans. The printers then converted these plans into production files, supervising the cutting process with particular attention to detail and mock-up. 

From an artistic point of view, printing the ‘La reine Margaux’ project presented another stimulating challenge. It involved producing a large print of a black and white portrait without a background, with a printed element to create a raised effect on a 3 mm brushed aluminium dibond base. We then made a precise cut and added a wooden groove to finish it off. This task required close collaboration with our design office, as numerous constraints had to be taken into account, in particular the 3x3 metre format and the colour rendering of the black and white on the wood.

In 2 words, being in the Muzéo Print Shop: Technical and lively’

“En ce qui concerne la production, nous avons été confrontés à un défi majeur : la création d'une structure robuste de 6 mètres de long, sans impression. Il s'agissait de réaliser une fresque des années et des moments marquants de l'entreprise GSF La Défense. Ce projet a nécessité une étude de faisabilité en collaboration avec l’Atelier d'encadrement de chez Muzéo. Nous avons dû commander un matériau spécifique, le Komacel, et élaborer des plans détaillés. Les imprimeurs ont ensuite converti ces plans en fichiers de production, supervisant la découpe avec une attention particulière portée aux détails et à la maquette. 

D'un point de vue artistique, l'impression du projet "La reine Margaux" a représenté un autre défi stimulant. Il s'agissait de produire une grande impression d'un portrait en noir et blanc sans fond, avec un élément imprimé pour créer un effet de surélévation sur un support en dibond alu brossé de 3 mm. Ensuite, nous avons réalisé une coupe précise et ajouté une rainure en bois pour la finition. Cette tâche nécessitait une collaboration étroite avec notre bureau d'études, car de nombreuses contraintes devaient être prises en compte, notamment le format de 3x3 mètres et le rendu couleur du noir et blanc sur le bois.

En 2 mots être à l’Atelier d’impression chez Muzéo: Technique et vivant”
