Welcome to our art buyer’s guide to help you understand our museum-quality printing techniques. This guide will help you decide which printing medium is right for the art you purchase from us.
WallArtZen offers several different media types, ranging from canvas to metal, depending on what is in stock at the time of the order. And the art we create spans traditional styles like oil paintings to hyperrealistic photos and extreme digital art.
HOW WE PRINT
Our art is created and printed in sRGB, so there is no down-conversion in the color palette when going from our designs to the printer (say, if we were to design in RGB and then print in CMYK). See our Returns Policy for details on monitor calibration issues before ordering.
Our designs are also in 300dpi (or higher), so they have fantastic resolution even in large print formats, some exceeding 32,000+ pixels on a side. We have a proprietary, 4-part, AI-assisted process for upscaling to achieve this high quality and extreme resolution at scale.
The images also undergo a separate manual color adjustment, tweaking, and fine-grained adjustment process. In some cases, there are design reasons why a particular art style might purposely have a grainy (or other) look at large scale (retro styling, grunge look, realistic scanned artwork look, etc).
See our Returns Policy for details on why you should inspect artwork before ordering.
