Canvas, acrylic, metal and framed prints for offices, clinics, restaurants and homes. Send the file and we'll tell you honestly what size it holds up at before you order.
However your artwork is ready, we make printing simple.
We check it free and tell you the largest size it will hold up at, so you buy the print the photo can actually carry.
Stretched arrives ready to hang; rolled ships cheaper in a tube for local framing. It has to be decided before printing.
We show what the gallery wrap takes from the edges, so nothing important disappears around the side of the frame.
Stretched arrives on its frame, ready to hang. Rolled arrives as the printed canvas in a tube and costs considerably less to make and to ship — sensible if you already have a frame, if you're framing it locally, or if it's going a long way by courier. What you can't do is stretch a rolled print that was sized for no border, so tell us at the start which one you want.
Acrylic is printed behind clear perspex, which gives real depth and makes darks look deeper — it suits photographs with strong contrast. Metal prints onto brushed or white aluminium; on brushed the metal shows through lighter areas and gives a slight sheen. Both are rigid, wipe clean and don't need glazing. Acrylic shows fingerprints more.
Around 150 DPI at the final size is the practical floor for wall work, viewed from a metre or more. A 12-megapixel phone photo comfortably makes an A2; going to A0 from the same file will look soft up close. Send the file and we'll tell you free what size it holds up at — before you pay, not after.
About 35 mm of the image wraps around the frame's sides and is not visible from the front. Keep faces and text well inside the panel. If the composition can't spare it we can mirror the edge or add a solid colour border instead — say which you'd prefer and we'll show it on the proof.
Stretched canvas, acrylic and metal all ship with their fixings. Framed prints come glazed and wired. Rolled canvas is the one exception — it arrives as canvas in a tube, for you to frame.
Rolled canvas is typically ready in 3–4 working days after approval; stretched canvas, acrylic and metal take 5–8 because of the mounting and finishing. Prices exclude 18% GST.
