Custom Art Prints: Fine Art Printing Australia

Custom Art Prints is fine art printing for a file you already have. It suits your own paintings and drawings, whether scanned or photographed, your illustrations, digital art, photographs, and downloaded artwork you have the right to print. You can use a saved digital file from your computer, a scan made for you, or a licence that lets you reproduce the work. The rights line is simple: own the file or have permission to print it.

• Archival matte: 200gsm fine art paper, smooth, no sheen, natural white, sold at all eight sizes. It suits digital art, illustration, crisp detail and photographs.
• Textured etching: Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm, a mould made fine art paper with a soft, velvety textured surface, sold at seven sizes from A4 to 60 x 90 cm. Hahnemühle lists it as 100% alpha cellulose, acid and lignin free, and ISO 9706 conform. It suits paintings, drawings, watercolour and work that wants a tactile surface.

Choose the smooth base for clean digital files, or the textured base for marks that benefit from a visible paper surface.

Save the file at 300 dpi at the print size.

Save the file at 300 dpi at the print size, using a JPG, PNG, TIFF or PDF export if your workflow allows. Crop the file to the chosen size shape, because the print follows the file edge to edge. Keep important detail away from the very edge. If you want a white border, put it into the file itself. For a flat original, scan it on a flatbed scanner, or photograph it under even daylight, avoid glare, and trim to the artwork edge. See the image resolution and dpi guide for more on pixel size.

Art reproduction printing helps you make saleable copies of your own original work. A common ask is simple: print my art for a market stall. Here is how that works: upload a scan or digital file, choose a paper, and order copies at one size. People use this for paintings, drawings, watercolour, illustration, and digital art. You can order archival prints, because our print partner uses pigment-based archival inks. Order one copy first, then use the page to build a larger run of the same image.

Photographers often choose fine art paper when a photograph needs a print that feels made for display. The Archival matte base is smooth and natural white, which suits crisp detail and controlled tonal range. The Textured etching base has a soft, velvety surface that can make shadows and painterly areas feel more tactile. Both need a file at 300 dpi at the chosen size. A bright screen shows colour with light, while paper reflects it, so deep shadows and saturated tones may read slightly different in the print.

Custom Art Prints gives you art printing in Australia. The page shows a production time of 3 to 5 working days. Production time is not delivery time, and delivery after dispatch depends on where you are. A4 and smaller sizes go flat in the post, while larger sizes travel in a tube. The order is posted only, with delivery per order Australia wide, however many prints are included.

Giclée printing is fine art inkjet reproduction. A large format machine places fine droplets of ink on fine art paper. That is how artists reproduce paintings, drawings and digital art as prints. A standard poster is printed on lighter poster paper. A giclée print uses a heavier fine art paper, and our print partner prints with pigment-based archival inks, which is why it suits artwork that needs a more display ready surface.

• Custom Art Prints is your file printed on fine art paper, unframed.
• Custom Framed Prints: custom framed prints for your file printed and framed.
• Custom Canvas Prints: custom canvas prints for your file on stretched canvas.
• Posters: poster printing for business posters, events and bulk runs at a lower price.
• Ready made art to buy in our wall art range.

Handle prints by the edges with clean dry hands to keep the paper surface free of fingerprints. Let a rolled print relax flat on a clean table before framing so the paper can settle naturally. Frame the finished print behind glass or acrylic to keep dust and fingerprints off the surface. Store unframed prints flat and dry, kept well out of direct sunlight.

Resolution is verified on each file before production. You also get a Digital Proofing Stage, free, with up to 2 revisions, so you can check the layout before the print is made. If the result is not right, our Print Promise means love it or we reprint it free. The page shows a production time of 3 to 5 working days. It is posted to you.
