We print on photo and fine art papers or canvas.

The minimum charge for a print is the same as the charge for an 8 × 10" print. If you are printing several smaller images, it may be more cost-effective to submit a composite image that you can then separate into the component images.

Photo and Fine Art Paper

We have divided our photo and fine art papers into three categories: prints on photo papers are $9.95/ft², fine art papers are $14.95/ft² and premium fine art papers are $19.95/ft².

Papers

Note that we may not always have every paper in stock (particularly on the roll for printing large pieces), so it is a good idea to check with us on the availability for your needs. We have samples of all of the papers at our store, and we’re happy to discuss what paper might work best for your project.

* These papers are not currently in stock, so it can take an additional one to four weeks to source the paper and print your piece.

Canvas

We print on either Epson Premium Canvas Satin or Canson Infinity Museum Canvas Water-Resistant Matte, and prints on canvas are sealed with either a gloss or satin clear-coat. They can also be left uncoated, but we don’t generally recommend this as the print surface can be quite fragile when left uncoated. Prints on canvas start at $19.95/ft².

We offer three options for canvas stretching using either standard ¾ × 1½” bars pieced together so the canvas is¾” or 1½” deep, or heavy-duty 1½ × 1½” bars.

The cost for stretching is based on the width and length of the piece (also referred to as “united inches” or “UI”). For ¾ × 1½” bars, the cost to stretch is $0.75/in, for 1½ × ¾” it is $1.09/in (up to maximum size of 30 × 40″), and for 1½ × 1½” bars it is $1.19/in. (These are discounted prices for stretching canvases we have printed, works on canvas from other sources will incur an additional charge.)
