OUR TEAM

Rocky, a veteran of New York’s high-end art and photography world, brought his deep technical expertise and obsessive attention to detail to Asheville, where he established Dot Editions as a trusted partner for artists and photographers seeking uncompromising quality. His approach combines careful control with sensitivity to the artist’s intent, balancing precision with an intuitive understanding of image and tone.

In 2025, Nathan Burrows joined as an equal partner, expanding the studio’s scope in photography, digital production, and artist support. Nathan's background in photography, creative production, and digital media complements Rocky’s legacy, helping Dot Editions expand its capabilities while maintaining its core values of artistry, integrity, and personal service.

Together, Rocky and Nathan lead Dot Editions with a shared commitment to supporting artists from concept to completion, whether for an exhibition, portfolio, print release, or collector delivery.

Our studio is open Monday through Friday. Clients are welcome to come in, review options, and discuss their projects with us directly before committing to any service.

  • Dot Editions is a full-service fine art print studio. We handle digital printing on archival papers, high-resolution artwork capture, edition production, mounting, custom framing, and exhibition support. Whether you're making a single print or preparing for a show, we’re here to help at every stage.

  • We’ve narrowed our paper selection to a small group of archival materials we trust: cotton rag, textured matte, baryta, and canvas. These papers produce consistent, high-quality results across a range of work. If you're not sure what to choose, we can walk you through options based on the feel, tone, and longevity you're looking for.

  • Our general turn around is 7-10 business days, but many jobs can be turned around in 2-3 days. Large orders, framing, or mounted work may take longer. We’ll always give you a timeline upfront and do our best to meet any deadlines you’re working with. Rush service is available upon request.

  • Proofing is optional but recommended, especially if this is your first time printing with us or you're preparing large-scale work. A proof gives you a chance to review color, paper feel, and detail before we proceed with the final run.

  • Yes, prints are packaged with archival-safe materials and can ship flat, rolled, or crated depending on size and fragility. We ship nationwide and internationally through trusted carriers like FedEx and UPS.

  • Pricing depends on the size, paper, and number of prints. We offer a 30% discount to local artists on fine art paper printing. For edition runs or large projects, we’re happy to provide a custom quote and work with your budget.
