Fine Art Printing Frequently Asked Questions
What is your turn around time?
Our standard turn around time is 3 – 5 business days. Rush services are available. Plese fill out our orders and quotes form for more details, or simply give us a call at the studio.
What if I dont live in Los Angeles?

Do you offer rush services?
Yes, we do offer same day and next day services for most services. Please contact us by phone for details.
How should I prepare my files for printing?
Please make sure your files are 300dpi @ their final print size. Depending on the file, we can sometimes effectively print files that are as low as 150dpi, but we recommend 300.
How will you deliver my scanned files?
We can either provide you with a download link or, for a small fee, burn a dvd for you. Let us know your preference.
How large of a print can you produce?
Using our Epson 11880 we can output prints just a tiny bit below 64″ wide x 9 ft.
Do you do giclee printing?
From Wikipedia:
Giclée is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers.The name originally applied to fine art prints created on IRIS printers in a process invented in the late 1980s but has since come to mean any inkjet print. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops to denote high quality printing but since it is an unregulated word it has no associated warranty of quality.
Do you use crappy inks to save money?
Never. We use only Genuine Epson Ultrachrome Pigmented Inks. Yes, they are more expensive than other options on the market, but we feel confident that it is worth it.
Do you have a minimum order?
Yes, our minimum order is $50.
Will you ship to another country?
Yes, we can ship via Fedex, UPS or USPS. Customs fees are paid by the client.
What kind of files do you need for printing
We accept TIFF, JPEG, PDF, AI, and PSD… Other file formats may be ok, but check in with us if you have any questions. For best results, the resolution should be 300-360 dpi at the final print size. Resolution below 150 dpi is potentially ok, but may not produce the most desirable results.
