"From phone to frame in 5 minutes"

Everyone has their favorite photos on their phone.  At Hard Copy we help people get their photos out of the digital world and into the real world. “From phone to frame in 5 minutes” is our motto.  Customers visit our booth, beam us their photos, we print them on the spot with our DNP RX1-HS printer.  Customers get to walk away with their favorite photo from their phone, in a cool handmade frame made from reclaimed wood  - a tangible, real world item that they will see everyday, providing a daily ping of simple joy.

I spend more time in construction dumpsters than most people.  I love old stuff, especially old wood.  There's so much great old wood getting sent to the dump every day - I try to intercept it and use it to make cool, unique stuff.  With Hard Copy I combine my love of old wood and my love of photos and get people their favorite photo in tangible form so they can see it everyday and can experience that short - but very real - ping of joy that a great photo can deliver.
