Our print prices are based on the size of the printed page, including borders, if any. If you bring us printer ready files, you can save money by ganging multiple images on a page. Be sure to include trim lines if you want us to cut them down for you. Ganged images without trim lines will be returned uncut. If you send us individual files, you will be charged the individual print price based on that size.

Except for special order giclée papers, all our printing is done on roll paper, so we can accommodate any specific size and price accordingly. If you need something slightly larger than one of the sizes here, for example, it does not mean you jump to the next size listed!

We have “standard” sizes listed here to give you an idea of the prices, but we are not limited to printing only these specific sizes. Pigment (giclée) prints are based, for historical reasons in the manufacturing of their papers, on a slightly different concept of sheet sizes than photographic papers, multiples of “letter size” pages of 8.5”x11”, which tile evenly across the 44” rolls of paper we use for most inkjet prints. Multiple print prices are for multiples of the same print. See our Pigment Prints page for more information.

Descriptions of our many  printing papers can be found here.

Prints done on canvas are usually mounted on stretcher bars rather than being framed and displayed behind glass. If you plan to stretch your canvas prints, consider having them coated first for protective purposes. Coatings, available in glossy or matte, will also deepen blacks and provide richer colors. Our prices for this service are $15 for Quarter sheet or smaller, $22.50 for Half Sheet and $30 for Full Sheet. Call for larger sizes.

We can also tear or deckle, paper edges. The charge for this service is $3 per edge.

For artists needing reproductions of original artwork, we can provide photography and file preparation services that range from $35 -$100, depending on the level of preparation  needed. Call for more information.

Printer Profiling

Profile prices are $35 for one and $25 each for three or more papers profiled. You will receive two variants of each profile, one designated ‘Color’ and the other ‘Chroma’. There are slight differences in the way each handles saturation and dark detail, so you may experiment with both.

Please visit our Downloads page, linked to on the left, to download the target files and instructions for their use.
