Customized large
format reproductions at
affordable prices.
Frank Barchiese, President of
OOColor is a resident of Islamorada
in the Florida Keys.
Frank’s company provides some of the
biggest corporations in the country with
large format, color and black and white
printing for billboards, trade shows,
packaging, and special events. Initially,
Frank worked with artists to develop
reproductions of their original art. His
method provided the artists with the
ability to duplicate their artwork, sell
prints at a reasonable price, and retain
the originals.
One of the benefits to the artist was that
their original artwork could be
reproduced on materials that closely
matched the canvas or paper on
which the originals were created.
This first step into the consumer
market was a big success. It was
difficult to tell the difference between
the copy and the original.
Frank was determined to share
the experience of producing these
exciting images gained from his
commercial enterprise with friends
and neighbors, for their personal
enjoyment. His goal was to provide
customized reproductions
of art and photography at
affordable prices. Currently,
Frank is working with
individuals to copy
and enlarge their treasured
photographs and works of art to
be displayed in their homes.
Snapshots of family and friends,
old or new, can be blown up and
become wall murals. Artwork can be
copied and reproduced at almost any
size, on materials of your choice with
inks that are of long lasting quality.
