Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I send in my files?
→ Please
visit our "Send Files"
page. On that page we go into detail on how to set up
and send your files.
I don't have any graphics, can you provide them?
→ Yes,
we can provide graphic design. Just tell us what you want
on your printed product, and we can create a custom design
that we'll send you to approve before we print. All we need
is a brief description of what kind of images you want,
any text you would like the product, and the size of the
print. If you have specific questions, please contact us.
My photograph needs editing. Is this available?
→ Yes.
We can edit your photographs before we print them for a
small fee. Services we offer include cropping, restoring
damaged photographs, removing/adding subjects to the photograph
and more. For a free quote on your editing needs, please
contact us.
What is an aspect ratio, and why is it important?
→ The
aspect ratio is the ratio between the width of the picture
and the height of the picture. A 16x20 inch print's aspect
ratio is 4:5, and a 24x36 inch print's aspect ratio is 2:3.
This is important because when we enlarge your image, we
need to maintain the correct proportions of the original
to avoid distortion.
For example, if a 16x20 inch portrait is ordered, any image
can be enlarged correctly that has an aspect ratio 4:5.
Acceptable original file sizes may be 8x10 inches, 4x5 inches
or 2x2.5 inches.
We can correct files that do not have correct aspect ratios,
but some cropping will be necessary, which means portions
of the picture edges will be lost.
If I order a print, will
it be stretched and mounted?
→ No. The prices
listed are for unstretched and unmounted prints. We sell
them this way to make your shipping costs less expensive.
Can I have my canvas prints stretched and mounted?
→ Yes. We can stretch and mount
your canvas prints for an additional fee.
I want my image wrapped around the stretcher bars so the
image shows on the side. Is an additional charge for that?
→ We charge based on the total square feet of the
print order. So adding an extra inch on all sides slightly
increases the price of the print, because the print will
need to be larger to cover the sides. For large orders,
we charge $9/sq foot.
Is the canvas adhered on the sides,
or the back of the bars?
→ We staple the canvas to the stretcher bars, and
for prints where the image is wrapped around the bars, we
staple the canvas on the back so the sides don't show staples.
Can I save on shipping costs by ordering more prints?
→ Yes. We will package your prints together, and only
charge the shipping cost of one order.
How much is shipping?
→ We normally use FedEx
Ground, which is usually around $8.00 to $11.00 for the
products we offer. This service usually takes 3-5 business
day for delivery. We are open to other shipping services
if you are in a hurry, or prefer a different shipping company,
although there may be a change in the shipping cost for
expedited shipping services.
Your door magnet sizes may not fit my car. Can I have a
custom size?
→ Yes. We can create magnets that will custom fit
your vehicle. Please contact us for more information. Generally,
our 18x12 inch magnets will fit most SUV's pick-ups, and
vans. Our 24x10 inch magnets generally fit sports cars and
sedans. If you are unsure about the size of the magnet you
may want, you can use a tape measure to see how much room
is available on your door. Remember to only measure the
metallic area that will be in direct contact with the magnetic
material.
Are your magnets waterproof?
→ Yes. We laminate our magnets to make them
fully weather-proof.
Will the magnet stick to my car?
→ Not in all cases. Some cars are made with
plastic exteriors. To test to see if our magnetic material
will work on your vehicle, take an ordinary refrigerator
magnet, and place it on your car. If it sticks, our magnets
will work for you.
