Fine Line Supply Co

What Fine Line Supply Co does

Fine Line Supply Co. is a privately-held, founder-operated specialist printing studio based in Historic Downtown Ruston, Louisiana, founded in 2010 by Henry and Amanda McCoy. The company serves artists, photographers, families, and local businesses in Louisiana with a core suite of services: museum-quality photo and fine art printing on archival and cotton-based papers, gallery-wrapped canvas prints, custom framing with acid-free materials and UV protective glass, photo restoration, film and photo scanning, and artwork reproduction. Artwork reproduction is performed using a 50MP digital camera with cross-polarized lighting to produce high-resolution, glare-free captures of paintings and drawings, enabling giclée and limited-edition reproductions for artists to sell. The company added laser engraving for personalized gifts, promotional products, and corporate awards as an adjacent service line.

The business is operated out of a single retail storefront at 207 N Trenton St with a small staff of approximately 5 employees. Distribution combines in-store consultations with an online ordering platform (ROES Web) for photo and fine art print orders up to 50MB JPG uploads, a JotForm-based custom order pipeline, and Calendly-based framing consultations. Pricing is predominantly quote-based with starting prices for some services (photo restoration from $15, full restorations from $75) and recurring promotional discounts of 25-50% on canvas prints and seasonal items.

Revenue mechanics are project-based, one-time transactions across print orders, framing jobs, and engraving work, with no subscription or recurring contract model. In June 2022, the company divested its art supply retail business to Creative Exchange (112 W. Alabama Ave, Ruston) to refocus on printing and framing, followed by a brief store restructuring. The company has no external institutional funding, no parent company, and remains entirely founder-owned, with operations concentrated in Ruston, LA and surrounding areas only.
