We offer enlargement printing services, sometimes referred to as wide-format printing. Our Price Guide includes standard sizes that we frequently print, but we can also accomodate custom sizes. Our print pricing starts at 12x12 inches. 

To ensure high-quality printing, your file should have a minimum resolution of 180dpi when viewed at 100% size. However, when printing on canvas, a resolution of 150dpi is also acceptable.

Our typical turnaround for most projects is one to five business days, but larger projects may take up to two weeks. For stretched canvases, please allow about two weeks. The exact time- frame depends on various factors such as the complexity and size of your project, quoting, test strips, additional finishing like mounting, and our current workload. To obtain an estimate and ensure that we meet your project deadlines, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We'll do our utmost to accommodate your needs.

As a wide-format printer, we specialize in producing larger prints in smaller quantities. Therefore, we do not offer printing services for sizes smaller than 12 inches. See our Pricing Guide for our standard sizes for prints.

We don't print with spot colours or on metal. Please note that any white areas in your artwork will appear as paper white, as we do not use white inks in our printing process.
