Consulting
One-to-one Guidance
For Your Project
Who We Work With
- First-time printers who need clarity on file prep, sizing, aspect ratios and paper choice
- Painters and mixed-media artists reproducing originals as fine art editions
- Artists running online shops who need fulfillment insight—a perspective we’ve built from years of working behind the scenes with high-volume art sellers
Our advice covers every stage
Choosing the right archival paper or canvas finish, preparing files for colour-accurate reproduction, planning edition sizes and understanding what sells. We also offer insight into packaging, presentation and workflow efficiency for fulfillment.
How It Works
When you’re ordering prints with us, guidance on paper selection, sizing and file requirements is included. This is part of working together and most decisions can be made efficiently during the ordering process.
For extended consultation beyond project-specific advice—in-depth sessions on building product lines, planning editions or strategizing fulfillment workflows—we offer paid consulting at $150 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments.
Consultations can be a quick call to solve a specific issue or an in-depth planning session for a large-scale project. Either way, our goal is to save you time, avoid costly mistakes and ensure your prints look exactly as you envisioned.
How It Works
For project-specific questions, reach out when you’re ready to order. For broader consulting that’s not tied to an immediate project, email or call us to discuss your needs.
Print Pricing
Fine art prints on archival papers
Volume pricing applies to the same image, same size, same paper, ordered together.
About borders: Prices are based on image size. Border preferences (we recommend at least 1" for framing) can be specified when you upload your files.
Canvas Prints
Gallery-quality canvas with optional stretching
Volume pricing applies to the same image, same size, same paper, ordered together.
About canvas prints: All prices include a 2" gallery wrap border on all sides and your choice of matte or glossy varnish.
Art Reproduction
High-resolution capture of original artwork
We capture exactly what is visible in your original art using our high-resolution Phase One camera. You'll receive a 16-bit TIFF for archival use and an 8-bit JPG for web. Turnaround time is 5 business days.
If you plan to print reproductions of your artwork, we can create a custom color profile matched to your chosen paper. This ensures the printed reproduction is as close as possible to your original. Profiling involves printing test targets on your selected paper and measuring the results. Papers with optical brighteners (Hot Press, Cold Press) require additional testing and are priced accordingly.
Need dust spots or errors removed? Additional retouching fees apply. Let us know your requirements and we'll provide a custom quote.
Film Scanning
High-resolution scans with color correction
Match your scan to a specific paper for accurate color reproduction when printing.
About our scanning process: We use a Phase One 150MP camera with Schneider lenses. You'll receive high-resolution TIFF for archival use and JPEG for sharing.
Consulting
One-to-one guidance in our lab
We provide complimentary production guidance for clients placing print orders. This includes confirming sizing, reviewing files on screen, recommending paper, and ensuring your files meet print standards.
When a project moves beyond intake and into creative development, file adjustments, or business strategy, we treat that as dedicated consulting time.
Our goal is to give every client focused, uninterrupted attention. Structuring consulting separately ensures clarity and consistency for everyone.
Sessions are one-to-one in our lab and focused on your specific goals.
Extensive information about our art fulfilment services is available throughout our website. For clients who want tailored evaluation and strategic guidance, we offer structured consulting sessions.
Shipping
Art fulfillment shipping rates
For artists using our art fulfilment services, shipping costs are based on print size and destination. Enter your full print dimensions below including any borders.
Enter the FULL size of your print including any borders. If you've requested borders on your print (we recommend at least 1" for framing), include that in your dimensions. The calculator automatically adds 4" for protective tube padding.
All shipments include: Prints carefully wrapped in glassine and packaged with extra padding at either end, all customs and export documentation, fully trackable shipping with email notification.
Mounting
Archival substrate mounting for prints
Many prints need to be mounted on a substrate to ensure they lay flat and do not move or cockle over time with humidity changes. Depending on presentation, size, and budget, there are several archival options available.
Important: Dibond with Laminate and Float Mount presentations use Epson Premium Glossy paper exclusively. This is the only paper that properly adheres to the substrate and accepts the cold press laminate without silvering or surface separation.
