Product Questions
We mainly print from print-ready artworks so if you require borders, please include them within your artwork. If you require extra white material outside your ordered size you can add this in the checkout. The options are 10mm/25mm/50mm additional white media outside your image. so if you want borders please include them within your artwork.
Yes, you can, but it may depend on what paints you are using so we recommend to do a small test first.
As we do not have a minimum order it it is better to get a small test print done. Not only do you get to see the stock but also how your own artwork looks in print. In fact we always recommend running a test print (proof) if you are new to printing. Please be aware that your screen is not a representation of how your file will print unless you have a high-end calibrated screen. Even so, nothing beats printing a test print (a proof) to perfect your final prints.

Yes, we stretch our Wall Art Canvas prints, you’ll find it here.
Best paper is a personal choice but in general we have a preference for matt stocks. For DIY framing we recommend our Wall Art 250.

We print to any size you want as a custom size. Our widest rolls of papers are 1500mm and we can print almost any length.
Shipping Questions

Yes! Simply place an order for each location and specify in the checkout You will receive our automatic tracking when you ship to multiple customers or locations.
We ship anywhere in the world by quotation. To be able to do so we need the address and the size / weight of the parcel. As a general guide we have priced our A2 flat packed parcels in the checkout with NZ being $35.00 as a standard A2 parcel while US and Europe is around $45-55.00. If you are planning for frequent sales overseas it may be worthwhile finding a local overseas print provider you can trust with your work.
Shipping for orders under $75 is $14.95. Orders $75 or over are shipped for FREE! Paper wastage is higher for smaller orders because we print from a roll and along with the costs of image rasterisation, printing, trimming, packaging and freight means we have to charge for shipping for orders under $75.00.

Technical Questions
Yes all recent phones prints very good images up to A0 size. More details on our help page.
Yes, you can order images from your phone by WiFi or over a 4G or faster internet connection.
Yes, we can cut shapes, but we will need a cut path from you and an instruction in notes in the checkout. A cut path is a layer in your vector program that will instruct our cutting process (Zund Pro-Cut) to cut the shape.
As long as your file has enough resolution and is in proportion to the size you have ordered our RIP (Raster Interpolation Process) will scale your file to the size you have ordered. There is no need to set up your file in Photoshop to a specific size.
16-bit files are for editing only as there is really no print process that can do anything useful with all the extra data.
RAW files are for editing only so please export as Tiff or Jpeg prior to placing your order.
There are a number of things that you can do to prevent this happening even when working with an uncalibrated screen. First, lower the brightness of your screen so that brightest part of your screen (white) has the same level of brightness as a white piece of paper. Once you have done this have a look at your image on a white, grey and black background. Reduce the image size on screen and review the image at a matchbox size (app 30x 40 mm ). Now adjust your image until you are happy with it whilst viewing it in each of the above scenarios and be assured that your printed result will not be too dark.
To the right-hand size of your image there is a small x, click that to delete the item from your cart.
On our help page you can check the requirements for any given size. Enter your image pixel dimensions and required print size and the calculator will tell you if it works or suggest a different size. Alternatively, enlarge your image on screen to the size you want it printed to get an approximate idea of resolution and quality.
Once you have added an image to the cart you need to repeat the process for the next image so we know what paper and size you want us to print. Once you have all your images in the cart you can then go ahead and place your order.
If you have a scan file that is larger than 100Mb (maximum single file upload) instead of uploading the image you can upload a txt file (or a Word document) with the link to your image when making an order. We recommend using ‘WeTransfer’ or ‘Google Drive’ or ‘Dropbox’ for your links but please make sure that we will not require permissions to download the file so we can get on with printing your work.
Yes, as long as you have used a high resolution setting on your phone when you took the photo. There is more information on our help page.
Technically you can, but it does not necessarily make it a better quality print file. Please watch our video about resolution here for a greater understanding.
We print onto rolls of paper so the orientation of your image does not matter. We will never crop a landscape image to portrait unless specifically instructed to do so which would incur an extra charge.
Tiff, Jpeg, jpg or png or PDF, they will all work just make sure they are the right resolution and proportions for the size you want to order. You can check this on our help page.
We allow a maximum of 200Mb per file as it would be rare for an original capture to be larger than that. Please make sure that your file is flattened and ideally RGB for maximum colour space.
