Who are we?
Fotospeed began life over 35 years ago as a family-run darkroom chemistry and specialised fine art printmaking manufacturer. With the technological advancements within photography and printing over the past few decades, Fotospeed is still a family-run business that has adapted to the needs and demands of photographers to become one of the leading companies within the printing and fine-art paper industry.
Using our wealth of technical experience, along with a respected reputation for our quality and service, Fotospeed today has a comprehensive range of exceptional digital inkjet papers, inks and accessories shipped globally. We’re also a key distributor of numerous market leading brands such as Hahnemühle Fine Art Papers, Kaiser Photographic equipment, Herma adhesives and Canson Infinity Papers.
We pride ourselves on our passion and our dedication to your needs. Although we are a worldwide distributor, we still offer support throughout your process from purchase to print.
