Question 1

What paper are the posters printed on?

Accepted Answer

We use museum-quality 200gsm matte paper with a slight texture that enhances the artwork. For photography and high-contrast designs, we also offer glossy paper options.

Question 2

Do posters come framed?

Accepted Answer

Posters ship unframed to keep costs low and give you flexibility in choosing a frame that matches your decor. They arrive rolled in a protective tube to prevent creasing.

Question 3

What sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Standard poster sizes include 12x18, 18x24, and 24x36 inches. Some designs are available in additional sizes. Check the product page for all options.

Question 4

How should I hang my poster without damaging it?

Accepted Answer

For best results, frame your poster with UV-protective glass. For a more casual look, use poster rails (top and bottom magnetic strips) or removable adhesive strips. Avoid taping directly onto the print surface.

Question 5

Are the colors accurate to what I see on screen?

Accepted Answer

We calibrate our printers regularly to ensure color accuracy. Actual colors may vary slightly from screen display due to monitor settings, but our printing process produces rich, true-to-design results.

Question 6

Can I order a custom size poster?

Accepted Answer

We currently offer standard sizes (12x18, 18x24, 24x36). Custom sizing is not available at this time, but our range covers the most popular wall art dimensions for both small and large spaces.

Question 7

Will the poster fade over time?

Accepted Answer

Our archival-quality inks resist fading for decades when displayed away from direct sunlight. For poster placement near windows, we recommend UV-protective framing to maximize longevity.

Question 8

How is the poster shipped?

Accepted Answer

Posters are carefully rolled and shipped in sturdy cardboard tubes to prevent bending and creasing. Large format posters use reinforced tubes with end caps for extra protection during transit.

Question 9

Do you offer canvas prints as well?

Accepted Answer

Select poster designs are also available as gallery-wrapped canvas prints stretched on wooden frames, ready to hang. Check the product page for format options including canvas, metal, and framed prints.
