How We Do It
Our process is built around practical choices that protect your artwork and your income. Upload a digital copy from a high-quality scan or photo, browse media options (archival matte or satin paper, canvas, or apparel), pick sizes and reprint display options, then click Publish. Because we keep a lean infrastructure and low overhead, you get most affordable prints — period — without quality loss. You can sell at a livable profit margin at summer art fairs, pricing competitively and preserving color accuracy. Note: to ensure the Highest Quality, it is recommended that you have paintings professionally scanned, and, order a single item to veryify the print (for photographs as well). Occasionally transitioning rom RGB to CYMK can throw a look that is not representative of the original or your screen setting are off where you proofread your image. We want you and your customers to enjoy your work in the way it was intended to be.
