Selsey Press Ltd – Supporting Artists with Chichester Open Studios
Posted by Jazmine Saunders on 4th March, 2026
From exhibition catalogues and postcards to posters and interpretive signage, print remains one of the most powerful ways to connect audiences with a creative artist.
Established in 1963, Selsey Press has been providing professional print services for over 60 years, operating from its base near Chichester, West Sussex. Still a family-run business, now in its third generation, the company combines decades of technical expertise with a personal, collaborative approach that many artists value when bringing their work into print.

Understanding the Needs of Artists
Selsey Press Ltd – Supporting Artists with Chichester Open Studios
Artists have specific printing requirements that differ from commercial marketing work. Colour accuracy, paper choice, and finish all directly affect how artwork is perceived.
Whether an artist is producing:
- Limited-edition giclée-style prints
- Short-run exhibition catalogues
- Artist books
- Postcards and promotional flyers
- Wall labels, signage and interpretation panels
Selsey Press works closely with each artist to identify the most appropriate print process, materials and finishes to suit the work and the budget.
