HOW TO USE THE PRICE CHARTS BELOW
PRINT PRICES ARE PER SQUARE INCH according to the 3-tiered chart below. To calculate the square inches of your print, multiply the height (H) times the width (W).
H x W = sq. inches
For example, if you want a 16" x 20" print, the number of square inches is 320.
Take 320 and multiply by the paper price. For a print on semiMatte photo paper, the cost would be 320 x .08 = $25.60.
If you want a 16" x 20" canvas print, the cost would be 320 x .155 = $49.60. Most of our customers want a UV protective coating on their canvases, which is an additional .017 cents. Multiply 320 x .017 and the result is $5.44. Add this to the $49.60 and this makes the total $55.04 for a 16"x20" canvas print with UV protective coating.
CUSTOM SIZES ARE EASILY CALCULATED USING THIS FORMULA. CHARTS ARE FOR STANDARD SIZES BUT WE ROUTINELY PRINT CUSTOM SIZES. If you are not sure which size you want to print, use the aspect ratio calculator to figure out all of your sizing options based on the aspect ratio of your original.
A NOTE REGARDING SMALL PRINT SIZES: We can and often do print smaller than 8x10. In small quantities, your minimum print charge will be for an 8x10 because we print on large rolls of paper and need to take waste into account.
Canvas Options
Prices listed below are for Lexjet Sunset Select Matte canvas and include UV protective coating at 0.019¢ per sq. inch and take into account extra inches needed for heavy duty canvas gallery wrap. OVERSIZED PRINTS USING FREDRIX SOLVENT CANVAS ON THE SOLVENT PRINTER ARE 15.5 CENTS PER SQUARE INCH.
THERE IS A $50 ORDER MINIMUM FOR PHOTO PAPER PRINTS, UNLESS YOU WILL BE HAVING THE PRINTS CUSTOM FRAMED WITH US.
