frequently asked questions
Everything You Need to Know
Do I need to supply my own material?
Not necessarily. While the range of printable materials is too vast for us to keep everything in stock, we can source most standard substrates, such as Plexiglas, Glass, and DiBond, specifically for your order.
Do you have a budget-friendly option?
Yes.
Our Economy Canvas offers exceptional quality at a highly competitive price.
- The Tech: Printed with robust solvent inks on a high-quality poly-cotton blend.
- The Guarantee: Despite the lower price, it still carries a lifetime warranty against fading (under normal indoor lighting).
How smooth does my supplied material have to be?
We can print on quite rough surfaces but some might need to be sealed to stop ink absorption.
The Result: The best fine art reproduction in South Africa, bar none.
Do you print white?
Absolutely! We can overprint white on reverse images and also lay down a layer of white as required on your various substrates.
