What are your paper options?
Both our Standard and Premium paper options come in Luster, Matte and Glossy finishes.
Not sure which paper to choose, here's a simple guide:
Luster: A lightly textured paper with a subtle sheen, giving the colors in your photos more depth and vibrance without the strong glare that is typical of a glossy paper. This is our most popular paper option for its versatility.
Matte: An uncoated paper with virtually no glare, matte paper is a favorite among artists and photographers alike for it's ability to represent painted surfaces, water colors, portraiture and so on. Ranges from super smooth to lightly textured/toothy finish.
Glossy: The smoothest paper option with a highly reflective surface giving the most vibrant and saturated color reproduction.
Why are the Premium paper options more expensive?:
What makes the Premium paper options more expensive is their heavier weight (GSM) and thickness conveying superior quality along with the materials from which they are made. They are mostly free of optical brighteners, meaning they will not yellow over time (think in terms of 100-250 years).
We primarily use Red River brand inkjet papers in addition to Hahnemühle, and Canson. We've created our own custom ICC profiles unique to our printers and papers, allowing for highly accurate and consistent color reproduction.
What file type can I send you?
We accept all file types such as jpg, png, pdf, tiff, RAW, etc.
What is your typical turnaround time?
Usually we’ll have your prints ready for pickup within 2 -3 business days and if having them shipped, add another 2-4 days depending on where you live and which shipping option you choose.
What are your shipping options?
We ship via USPS or Fedex. USPS typically costs around $8-12 depending on the weight and size of your package and Fedex is typically around $24-30. These prices are approximate and ultimately depend on the size/weight of your package, where you live and what their respective rates are at the time.
Prints shipped vis USPS typically arrive in 2-4 business days and via Fedex in 2 business days. We’ll always provide tracking so you can know exactly when your order will be delivered.
Do you offer a rush service?
Yes, for most orders it is possible to expedite your order. Don’t to hesitate to inquire, we will tell you right away whether we can accommodate your timeline. Our rush charge is usually 25-50% of your total, depending on the size of your order and how soon you need it.
