Please contact us via email or phone at 305-282-9154. Include "Cancel or Change Order" followed by your order number in the subject line.  

Can I reorder a print without uploading the file again?

Yes! You would need to create an account ahead of time. Once you have an account and are signed in, uploaded files will remain under your account/name for you to have easy access to reordering.

The only times that you would need to upload a file again are: 

  1. 1
    The print product you are interested in is not part of our standard products
  2. 2
    You did not sign in before uploading

Do you offer custom and large sizes?

Yes, we can do any custom size, and the maximum size depends on the product you choose.  You can learn more by visiting out various product pages from our main menu.

Can you mount my print if you did not print it?

Yes, but we are not responsible for damaged prints we did not create. We take all possible precautions and care for your work, but accidents happen.

Photo mounting is a complicated technique, and prints do get damaged occasionally. We do not recommend mounting any original, one of a kind, or highly expensive works. That being said, there are times when it is necessary to do so. We are willing to help as long as it is agreed that we cannot be held responsible for any damages to the image.

We only face mount prints made on very smooth and glossy papers such as Premium Photo Glossy and Glossy Metallic photo papers. Textured papers that are face-mounted will show an orange peel effect.

What are your image file requirements?

File Formats

  • Prints Giclee Shop accepts JPG, TIFF, PSD, and PNG (NO interlace)
  • 8-bit RGB files only. *No layers, or alpha channels
  • Color space should be Adobe RGB or sRGB

File Sizes

The ideal file would be a high-quality PNG with an embedded Adobe RGB or sRGB color profile. The perfect resolution should be 150-300 PPI at print size.

Please note that all four file formats will produce identical prints as long as the pixel dimensions, color space, and bit depth is the same. You should consider doing all your color/image editing in RAW, PSD, TIFF, or PSD, and then saving the print-ready file as PNG with NO interlace. When you save the print-ready file as PNG (NO interlace), it will yield a reduced file size and same quality as a TIFF. Reduced file size means less upload time for you!

Please do not up-size your files, unless you know what you're doing. We will size the files for you as needed and let you know if it is too small to print at your selected size.

If you know how to up-size your images for printing, please size them to the final print size.
Save your sized file as a PNG (NO interlace) at 240 PPI. We use Perfect Resize to up-size all our files before printing.

Will my print come ready to hang?

Acrylic Prints, Metal Prints, Bamboo Prints, and Canvas Wraps come ready to display. All framed artwork will also come ready to hang. Loose paper prints and canvas come rolled in a tube or packed flat (special order upon request).

If we do not receive a claim within the 7-day time-frame Prints Giclee Shop will understand that the customer has accepted the order.
