Printing
What’s the ordering process like?
Please start by sending us an email with your contact information, size, quantity, requested paper type, and any other add-ons or special requests per the title of your print files. You can call us and/or swing by our print studio where you can see all our media options and make sure your files are print-ready. When we receive your order, we will send you an invoice and you can send over the print files.
How should I send my files?
We can accept files through Sharepoint or Dropbox.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on how to use these services.
Can I bring my own scans/files?
Yes! We can work off your own scans or digital images, as long as their quality and resolution are suitable for printing. We also offer professional scanning and color correction services.
Do you offer drop shipping services?
Yes! Take the stress out of shipping with our streamlined drop-shipping service. From professional printing to securely packaging and shipping the order directly to your customers, we’ve got it covered.
How do I prepare my files for printing?
First, you should confirm your files are sharp and in focus. Make sure to remove dust/sensor dust, dots, specks, blemishes, and anything else that should not appear in the final print. Remember, the larger the print, the more obvious a blemish will be.
If your image has layers, please be sure to flatten it. Send RGB files in the working space you edit in. We recommend you use Adobe RGB. Please do not send CMYK files.
What resolution should my files be?
We recommend you send files with a resolution of 200dpi and above.
What file formats do you accept?
While we accept .tif, .jpeg, .psd, .pdf, .png., we recommend .tif, .psd, or .pdf because these file types do not compress the information in the file.
We can only print RGB, so we ask customers to convert any CMYK color spaces before sending over the final file.

Do you do canvas printing?
We do! We’re thrilled to have partnered with another fantastic art printing company to provide you with canvas printing. Lead times are typically 7 to 10 business days but can be up to 2 weeks.
Canvas: Rolled or stretched in any nominal size from 6"x6" up to 59"x144", stretched canvases can be done with a .75" or 1.5" depth.
How long does printing take?
Our paper print orders take anywhere from 3 to 5 business days, depending on how busy our shop is. Wholesale orders will take longer and will be quoted accordingly. Canvas print orders may take 7 to 10 business days — it will most likely take longer for orders with higher quantities.
Do you do rush orders?
Yes, for paper prints. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need a rush print order, so that we can do our best to meet your deadline.
For small print orders, we charge:
Additional 100% of order total for same-day service.
Additional 50% of order total for next day service.
Additional 25% of order total for 2-day service.
Unfortunately for wholesale orders, rush orders are not possible. We will be able to fulfill the order based on our current workload — we ask that you request the order by a certain deadline so that we can best accommodate your needs.
For canvas prints, we will do our best to accommodate your needs, but coating drying times may make it harder. Please keep the UV coating time in mind when you place an order.
When will my order be ready for pick-up?
We will reach you through phone or email when your order is ready! If the order is a shipment, we will contact you to confirm the order before it’s sent out.
Can I make a replacement or a return?
Yes, if any of the prints are damaged or defective due to materials or a printing error will be replaced at no charge. Please bring back the original prints and we will have replacements ready for you as soon as possible. If you have any replacement requests, please contact us within 48 hours of order pick-up or delivery.
Please note that scanning services are non-refundable.
