I have a panoramic image, what do I do?
We can create any size print, from 1" x 1" all the way up to 44" inches x 20 feet plus!
Our price structure is based on square footage [ (H x W), divide by 144 = Final Square Footage ]
i.e. 24"x 50" panoramic print = (24x50) / 144 = 8.333 square feet.
Our Panoramic Sizes are listed as a drop down with each Paper Type
Don't see your preferred size? Call us! and we will add it immediately to our website for you to easily continue ordering online!
If you have any custom crops or questions, please email: prints@pixelsandink.us
What if something is wrong with my image quality?
Every order and files are reviewed before printing.
If something is amiss, we will contact you before printing your order!
Can you convert my color image into b&w or sepia for me?
YES. Using our online ordering system we have Built In Filters for you to easily change the look of your image! If you would like a different look than what is displayed, simply email us your image(s) and we will work with you to convert your images into b&w or sepia based on your request. We want your images to look their best.
Can I choose to Add a Border?
YES! all prints come trimmed to size unless a border is requested. You may select from 1/8" border up to a 1" white border for no extra charge. There are some restrictions based on our media sizes, however, which may include additional costs based on the media sizes… we'll contact you if there is a size issue.
NOTE:
Adding a white border is very handy if you are displaying and/or selling a print without a frame, or having the print custom matted and framed.
Keep in mind if you buy a ready-made frame, you typically will not require an extra border.
Make sure to measure!
WHAT is a "GICLEE"?
The word giclée (pronounced "gzhee-clay") is based on the French word gicleur, which means "nozzle" and the verb form "gicler" means "to squirt, spurt, or spray". Although the term was long associated with canvas reproductions, each and every print we produce with our pigment inkjet printers is technically a Giclée!
We print with long-lasting Pigment Inks, so your prints will last generations!

2. Re: Customer-Supplied Images:
a) Customers uploading images (photos and art) electronically (through website, email, and/or other transfer method) do so knowing the color and/or brightness on *your* monitor or screen vs. our *color calibrated* monitors may differ. We aim to print only the best quality image for you. If we see an issue with color/clarity (for instance, too dark, too light, or a noticeable color shift) our policy is to check with the customer before altering the image, unless instructed to do so. If the color or clarity, etc are very far off from customer's expectations, a mutual agreement may be made for replacement, based on, but not limited to, our review of the 1) file 2) circumstances 3) customer expectations.
[example: your monitor is way too bright! and your edits come across dark, maybe moody. If your expectations of the image were to be lighter, at our discretion we may reprint at no charge for you. If, however, the file 'looks good' on our end and no further instructions for edits, we reserve the right to require up to 100% reproduction payment for replacement]
b) Art Reproduction:
We offer High-End Scans and Digital Capture in-house for flat prints, flat art copy, prints, and art pieces of all sizes. Customers wishing to forego our Digitizing Service (for instance, photographing a painting by themselves) take responsibility for any and all color, lightness, darkness, and/or clarity issues when reproducing artwork. We are happy to reproduce your artwork on many types of media, but DO NOT GUARANTEE COLOR OR CLARITY WHEN UTILIZING CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED IMAGES OF ARTWORK.
