Standard Sizes
Standard size prints have the advantage of being easy to order, package, ship, and frame. Our prices for standard size prints are transparent and posted on the PRICE LIST tab. You won’t have to order in large quantities to get the good price. We already start there! And then we offer additional price breaks on top of that for professionals who order in higher volume.
5% price break with orders over $500
10% price break with orders over $1,000
Custom Sizes
If you are looking for totally custom sizes for your prints, you’ve come to the right place! Although we do recommend printing in standard sizes for most of our customers, this isn’t always the best fit for the artwork or project. If this is the case for you, please use the CUSTOM tab to manually submit a custom order form. We will review it and get back to you with a price quote and/or suggestions that will best fit your needs.

(Set of 4) - 6” x 8” prints for $35
(Set of 3) - 8” x 10” prints for $35
(Set of 2) - 9” x 12” prints for $35
Your choice of paper / media. Mix and match your images. Please use the TEST PROOFS tab if this is what you are looking for.
Paper and Media
** We only use the best, brand name, archival papers and media **
Signature Worthy® Hot Press - 100% cotton, acid-free, matte, 300gsm, Italian paper w/ a smooth eggshell finish. This is an excellent all around paper to consider. Start here.
Signature Worthy® Cold Press - 100% cotton, acid-free, matte, 300gsm, Italian paper w/ an evenly textured finish. Same paper as the “Hot Press”, but with a slight watercolor-paper textured finish.
Moab Entrada® Rag - 100% cotton, acid-free, matte, 290gsm, American made premium paper w/ a luxurious semi-textured finish. This is a great choice for paper nerds and those who know what they like.
Moab Juniper® Baryta Rag 100% cotton, acid-free, semi-gloss, 305gsm, American made, true Barium Sulfate coated paper w/ a luxurious textured finish. The best of both worlds: A full weight cotton paper with a depth of black that only a glossy/ semi-glossy paper can deliver. What’s not to love!?
Arches® BFK Rives
100% cotton, acid-free, matte, 310gsm, French made premium paper w/ an ultra luxurious textured finish. This is our most expensive and luxurious paper.
Signature Worthy® Photo Luster - Alpha cellulose, acid free, semi-gloss, 240gsm, Japanese synthetic paper w/ a traditional satin texture. Made as a modern replacement to the look and feel of traditional silver halide prints. A good choice for classic darkroom photography.
Signature Worthy® Canvas Matte - Cotton-poly blend, acid free, 395gsm, American canvas w/ a primed, non-reflective surface. For those of you that prefer the aesthetic of stretched canvas. (But sorry, we don’t offer stretching)
EBG® Poster Matte (non-archival) - Medium weight 190gsm, Japanese poster paper that is long lasting and yields highly saturated images. Recommended for poster prints, test printing, commercial use, artists just starting out, or any other reason you may have where archival media is not a concern and saving money is.

Bag and Board
You also have the option to include bags and boards with your order, so that your prints are individually packaged and retail ready. Fitted B&B's are only offered on standard size prints. We can package custom sizes, but chances are we'll have to package at the next size up.

File Requirements
A good print starts with a good image file. So we'll need the best image file you can get. It should be a 300 dpi resolution .psd, .tiff, or .jpeg, cropped to the largest dimension that you want printed. Color Profile: RGB
Shipping
Whether local or out of state, we can package and ship your finished prints right to your door. We use an online shipping service that gets us great rates with USPS, FedEx, and UPS, so shipping is very reasonable.
And if you are local and want to save on that expense, you're always very welcome to come do a pick up.
High-Resolution Imaging
You paint ‘em, we print ‘em! Imaging is the most crucial step. Get your art digitized in-house using our ultra high-resolution system built around the 50.6 megapixel Canon 5Ds. And remember; a great print starts with a great file!
$75 per image = Master file + Web file + Test Print
Editing
We will take care of the basic stuff, such as formatting, sizing down, cropping, color profiles, and even a little color bumping to make it right. But if we gotta do surgery on it, it'll cost $75/hr. We move fast and are pretty handy with photoshop. If the image can't be wrangled in less than an hour, you should probably get your art re-imaged. It's way easier and the results will be better every time.
100% Guarantee
If for any reason your print order does not meet or exceed expectations please contact us right away so we can make sure that it does.
