Canvas printing, stretching and framing in Singapore.

FAQ

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us, we usually reply within the hour during studio hours.

• Do you stretch and frame the canvas, or do I need to arrange that elsewhere?

  We offer the full service in-house. You can print, stretch and frame with us or you can take your printed canvas elsewhere if you prefer, but its genuinely advisable to leverage the same vendor.

• What's the difference between Standard 1" and Deep 1.5" stretching?

  Standard 1" gives a classic, traditional canvas profile that sits close to the wall. Deep 1.5" has a more substantial side profile and reads more contemporary. Both use solid pine bars; the choice is aesthetic. Deep 1.5" costs slightly more because the bars use more material.

• What is float framing?

  A float frame is a solid, treated-wood surround that the stretched canvas sits inside, with a small visible gap between the canvas edge and the frame, so the canvas appears to "float". Adds a finished gallery look without obscuring the print. We offer seven colours from smooth white through to natural black oak.

• What file types do you need, and how should I prepare the file?

  TIFF, JPG, and PNG are ideal. If you can supply your file along these lines we're set:

  - Saved as a JPEG or flattened TIF

  - 300 pixels per inch at the printed size

  - 8-bit

  - RGB colour space, or converted to the ICC profile of the canvas you're printing on

  Don't worry if you can't hit these exactly. Send what you have and we'll check it for you.

• My image quality might not be good enough, can you check?

  Absolutely. Send us your file via email or our contact form, and let us know the size you're looking to print at, so we can compare image resolution to the desired print size. We frequently apply enlargement and sharpening techniques on files that aren't quite print-ready.

• Do you offer image editing services?

  Yes, we offer a range of image editing, enhancement, and enlargement services. Tell us what you'd like done with your file and we'll quote it.

• Can you do really large prints?

  For fine art printing we are typically limited by the shortest edge, which is around 60". We are however able to print bigger, but using a different type of printer (flatbed UV printer). To get a quote on something beyond the limits of our online quote tool, please get in touch.

• How long does it take?

  It honestly does depend sometimes on our production queue. During busy periods we would normally say 3-5 working days as standard. If you require something quicker we can potentially turn things around in 1-2 days, but there may be express fees charged to account for this. It's worth highlighting that there is some combinations of canvas and image types which may require more time to complete. For example, images with very deep black backgrounds may need more time to sit before we varnish.
