Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is your turnaround time?
A: The normal turnaround time is 5 working days (1 week) for each process. Larger jobs (over 20 pieces) will take longer. For example, a job that just requires photography of artwork or having prints made will take 1 week. A job that requires both photography and printing takes 2 weeks.

A: We can often do work on a "rush basis" but rush charges will apply.

Q: I lost the digital files that you made for me, can you provide another copy?
A: We keep an archive of all the work we do for our clients. We actually keep multiple copies of this archive located in 2 different locations to always ensure that we can produce a new cd, offer downloads, or make prints of any artwork we have photographed in the past.
Q: I'm applying for a show and they've requested that my images be sized and formatted to their specifications, can you help me?
A: If you give us the particular specifications at the time we're photographing your artwork, we can provide you with an additional set of files to those specifications at no additional charge. If you need this done later on, we can do it for a fee or instruct you on how to convert the files yourself.
Q: You photographed my artwork a while back and now I want to have a print made, do I need to bring the artwork back in?
A: We can make very good prints from photography we have done in the past without requiring you to bring your artwork back in. However, the best practice is to have the artwork on hand during the printing process for color comparison. That way we can adjust the file if needed to match the print to the original as closely as possible.
