A Printing revolution

Why cancerART is AUdacious

Rebecca Fortune, Becka, is the heart and soul behind Audacious Printing. After years in the legal profession, Becka made the bold decision to follow her passion: creating art that lasts a lifetime. Driven by a deep love for the craft of printing and a desire to work alongside those who share her vision, she founded Audacious Printing with her business partner, Mike Rose.


At Audacious Printing, Becka and Mike are pioneering the "Craftsman Digital Printing Revolution." They believe that the art of digital printing should produce carefully crafted masterpieces. To hasten the revolution, they have assembled the most advanced tools and printing technologies available.


How they use those advanced tools is what sets them apart. Becka and Mike approach each print with old-world dedication and craftsmanship you can't find anymore. They understand that a great print is not just an image on paper, but a piece of art that has the power to evoke emotion, tell a story, and stand the test of time for collectors and businesses.

This commitment to quality over quantity is the driving force behind every decision Becka, Mike and Audacious Printing make. From their knowledge of and recommendation of papers and inks to the meticulous calibration of their equipment, every step of the process is undertaken with the singular goal of creating prints that are masterpiece reproductions with fidelity and durability.


For Becka and Mike, Audacious Printing isn't just a business; it's a labor of love and a sacred mission. They pour their hearts and souls into every print, knowing that each one has the potential to become a cherished heirloom, passed from generation to generation. I've purchased prints from Caelum McCall and Isabella Losskarn.


In a world where so much is mass-produced and disposable, Audacious Printing stands as a beacon of craftsmanship and quality. Under Becka's leadership and with Mike's unwavering support, they are not just creating prints, but a legacy - a testament to the enduring power of art and the indomitable spirit of those who create it.


Whether you're an artist seeking to infuse your work with newfound vitality, a collector in pursuit of the most exquisite reproductions, or a business striving to differentiate your brand in a saturated and chaotic market, Audacious Printing is your indispensable ally. As a vital partner for cancerART and anyone who values the unparalleled craftsmanship and expertise necessary to navigate uncharted territory, Audacious Printing is here to guide you. Step into the Craftsman Digital Printing Revolution and experience the difference that dedication and mastery can make.

What We Believe

We ethically craft masterpieces, empowering artists, collectors, and businesses while uplifting communities through eco-friendly, sustainable digital printing.

  • Philosophy

    When we founded of Audacious Printing, we chose to work and live by a simple yet powerful philosophy: Do what we love with people we love. This guiding principle led us to leave the legal profession and pursue our true passion - helping artists and creating masterpieces through printing. Our love for our craft is matched only by our love for the people we work for and with. 

  • Magic Happens

    When I combine my passion with a supportive and talented team, magic happens. I infuse our "Magic Happens" philosophy into every aspect of Audacious Printing, from the care I take in each print to the collaborative and nurturing work environment we foster. For me, success is not just about the end product, but about the joy and fulfillment we find in the journey as we walk side by side with those who share our vision and values.

  • Give First

    I believe that the world comes to me as I approach it, which is why I find joy, courage, and reinforcement in giving first and worrying about just about everything else second. This philosophy guides me in both my personal and professional life as the founder of Audacious Printing. 

  • Hearts & Minds

    I pour my heart into every project, focusing on delivering exceptional quality and creating meaningful connections with my clients and team. By prioritizing generosity and positivity, I attract like-minded individuals who share my values and passion. This approach has not only brought me immense fulfillment but has also been instrumental in building a thriving business based on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.

  • Sustainable Printing

    Sustainable printing minimizes environmental impact throughout the entire printing lifecycle. It involves using eco-friendly materials, reducing energy consumption, implementing efficient waste management, and promoting responsible sourcing. By mitigating pollution, conserving natural resources, and reducing carbon emissions, we want our printing to contribute to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future for all.

True Giclée

We use a 9 step process to create Giclée prints. If your printer isn't taking each of these nine steps chances are you aren't receiving a true Giclée print. Learn more about these steps in our How To Create A Giclée Print post in our Printing Resources.

Lucky

I am one of Audacious Endeavors’ original clients, and to say I feel lucky to have found them is an understatement. The quality of work that they boast as their standard is unmatched, and you would be hard-pressed to find a fine art printer of similar quality anywhere in the Triangle or North Carolina at large.


One of the great strengths of AE that I’ve come to know is their genuine devotion to and passion for the arts and quality craftsmanship. This sets them apart from so many other printers that are pushing for a more impersonal and mass production-type business model. AE will walk you through the process and advise you on the best techniques and materials to use for YOUR specific project. Want your artwork to look its absolute best? They will surpass your expectations every time.


As a working artist, being able to make prints of my work is essential. It allows me to support myself beyond just the sales of originals and also reach a wider audience with my artwork. One of the great burdens of making prints is the huge upfront cost for me, which often takes a bit to make back through print sales. As an represented artist in their digital gallery, all of my prints are available on a print-to-order system, which saves me so much stress knowing that I will lever again have to float the cost of making prints before any have sold.


Ultimately, I know that my art is safe in AE’s hands, and that the work they produce for my clients will exceed expectations without fail.
