Fine Art Prints vs. Flyer Printing: Which Is Right for You?
Not every print project calls for the same product. If you're promoting an event or handing out marketing materials, flyer printing is the right call. If your print is the product — something buyers will frame, display, and keep for years — fine art printing is what you need.
Fine Art Printing
Archival, premium papers and inks designed for prints that are sold, framed, and displayed for generations. The standard for artists selling originals, limited editions, and collector-grade prints.
- Acid-free, archival, lignin-free media
- Giclée, watercolor, canvas, metallic options
- Gallery and retail presentation quality
- Best for: art sales, commissions, conventions, online shops
Flyer Printing
Commercial paper stocks designed for volume, speed, and marketing budgets. The right choice when you need a lot of pieces fast and cost-per-unit is the priority.
- Text and cover stocks for high-volume runs
- Gloss and matte options for promotions
- Fast 1–2 day production, low minimums
- Best for: event promotion, retail marketing, handouts
Fine Art Printing Methods
We offer two distinct production methods for fine art prints — each suited to different artwork styles, budgets, and end uses. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right product for your work.
Digital Art Prints
Our digital art prints are produced on high-quality archival stocks — Gloss, Matte, and Textured Card — using professional digital press technology. Available in popular retail sizes like 5×7, 8×10, 11×14, and 11×17, these are the ideal choice for artists who want consistent, affordable, fast-turnaround prints they can sell confidently at conventions, in online shops, and at gallery-style events.
Best for: Artist Alley, Etsy shops, retail art sales, fan art prints, convention inventory, commissions, and any situation where you need multiple designs at accessible price points.
Giclée Prints
Our wide-format giclée prints are produced with high-performance inkjet technology and archival pigment inks — the same standard used by fine art galleries worldwide. Choose from stretched canvas, loose canvas sheets, heavyweight watercolor paper, or large-format photo papers. Giclée printing delivers the deepest color gamut, finest tonal detail, and longest-lasting results available in print.
Best for: Gallery exhibitions, limited edition collector prints, large-format wall art, high-end online art sales, and premium pieces where the quality of the print itself is a selling point.

Who Fine Art Printing Is For
Our fine art collection serves a wide range of creators — from first-time convention sellers to established artists fulfilling direct commissions. Here's how different types of artists use our printing.
Convention & Artist Alley Artists
Stock a full table with multiple designs across multiple sizes. Low minimums mean you can test new designs without overcommitting to inventory. Fast turnaround means you're not scrambling the week before the event. Multiple files per order means one checkout covers your entire lineup.
Online Shop & Etsy Sellers
Order small batches to keep inventory lean, or print on demand for individual orders. Blind shipping lets you fulfill directly to your customers without Printkeg branding — your shop, your brand, your buyers. Archival quality means the prints your customers receive match the quality your listings promise.
Illustrators & Concept Artists
Turn client commissions and personal pieces into physical prints. Watercolor paper and textured card stocks give digital illustrations an authenticity that collectors appreciate. Limited edition metallic prints and giclée reproductions justify premium pricing for original or near-original quality work.
Photographers
Large-format photo papers and giclée printing deliver the color accuracy and tonal range that photography demands. Canvas and watercolor options give photographers new ways to present their work that go beyond standard photo prints. Ideal for portrait, landscape, event, and fine art photography.
Gallery & Exhibition Artists
Archival papers and giclée inks produce prints that meet gallery presentation standards. Stretched canvas arrives ready to hang. Watercolor and fine art papers look at home in a white-wall exhibition environment. If you're submitting to juried shows or selling through galleries, our print quality will hold up to that scrutiny.
Fan Artists & Indie Creators
Fan art, original characters, and doujinshi-style prints come alive on archival matte and textured card. Multiple files per order means you can print your entire convention lineup in one go. And because our papers are acid-free, the prints buyers take home from your table will still look great years later.
File Preparation for Fine Art Prints
The quality of your print is directly tied to the quality of your file. Here's exactly what you need to know before you submit your artwork.
Resolution: 300 DPI Minimum
Set your canvas to 300 DPI at your exact intended print size before you start creating. You cannot reliably add resolution after the artwork is complete — upscaling creates soft, interpolated pixels, not real detail. For giclée prints at very large sizes, 150 DPI is sometimes acceptable due to increased viewing distance.
Color Mode: RGB
Submit files in RGB color mode. Our digital presses and giclée printers are calibrated for RGB workflows — we handle color conversion on our end for the best match between your screen and the finished print. Submitting CMYK files can sometimes cause unexpected color shifts.
Bleed: 0.125" on All Sides
For full-bleed designs (artwork or color that runs to the edge), extend your background 0.125" beyond the trim line on all sides. Keep important elements — faces, text, focal points — at least 0.25" inside the trim edge. Without bleed, trimming can leave a thin white sliver along the border.
Export Format
PDF is the preferred format for print-ready files. High-quality TIFF and maximum-quality JPG (quality 10–12 in Photoshop) are also accepted. Avoid web-compressed JPGs or PNG files exported at 72 DPI — these will not hold up at fine art print sizes.
Not confident about your file setup? Submit it anyway. Our team reviews every order before it goes to press and will contact you if anything needs adjustment — before a single sheet of archival paper is used.
Blind Shipping: Fulfill Directly to Your Customers
Blind shipping allows us to ship your orders directly to your customers without any Printkeg branding on the packaging. Your buyers receive their prints — they never know we printed them. This is essential for artists who sell through Etsy, their own website, or direct commission channels and want to maintain a professional, seamless brand experience.
No Printkeg Branding
Packages ship without Printkeg packing slips, branding, or inserts. Your customer's experience is entirely your brand — not ours.
Direct Commission Fulfillment
Take a commission, upload the file, and ship directly to your client. No need to handle inventory or repackage prints yourself. Especially useful for high-volume sellers with multiple active commissions.
Full Tracking Provided
Even with blind shipping, you receive full tracking information so you can pass it along to your customer and monitor delivery. You're always in the loop even when the package ships straight to them.
How It Works: From Upload to Doorstep
①
Select & Configure
Choose your print size, media type, paper finish, and quantity. Pricing updates in real time. For multiple designs, select sizes that allow multi-file uploads.

Upload Your Artwork
Upload your print-ready file at checkout. PDF, TIFF, or high-quality JPG. Not sure if your file is ready? Upload it — our team will take a look before printing anything.
③
File Review
Our design team reviews every file for resolution, color accuracy, bleed, and overall print readiness. If something needs attention, we reach out before pressing print — not after.
④

Fine Art Printing FAQ
Are your fine art papers archival?
Yes. Every paper in this collection is archival, acid-free, and lignin-free. These materials are specifically selected for gallery presentation, retail art sales, and long-term display — prints produced on our fine art stocks are designed to resist fading and yellowing for decades when properly displayed.
What's the difference between digital art prints and giclée prints?
Digital art prints are produced on our professional digital presses on archival card stocks (Gloss, Matte, Textured) in standard popular sizes. They're fast, consistent, and excellent for conventions, retail sales, and online shops. Giclée prints use wide-format high-performance inkjet technology with archival pigment inks on canvas, watercolor paper, or large-format photo papers — delivering the deepest color gamut and finest detail available in print. Giclée is the industry standard for gallery-quality reproductions.
Can I print multiple designs in one order?
Yes. Most sizes allow multiple files per quantity — you can split your order across several designs while still receiving volume pricing. This is especially useful for artists building convention inventory with many different prints, or Etsy sellers who offer a wide range of designs.
Do you offer blind shipping?
Yes. We can ship directly to your customers without Printkeg branding on the packaging. Your buyers receive their prints and the experience is entirely your brand. Full tracking is provided so you always know where the order is and can pass that information to your customer.
What file format should I submit?
PDF is the preferred format for print-ready files. High-quality TIFF and maximum-quality JPG (Photoshop quality 10–12) are also accepted. Set your file to 300 DPI at your exact print dimensions and export in RGB color mode. Avoid web-compressed JPGs or any file exported at 72 DPI for screen use — these will not hold up at fine art print sizes.
Will you review my file before printing?
Yes — every order includes a file review before production begins. If we notice a resolution issue, color problem, or missing bleed, we'll contact you before anything prints. You won't discover a problem after archival paper has already been used.
What paper is best for selling art prints at conventions?
Matte and Textured Card stocks are the most popular for convention and Artist Alley sales. They feel premium in person, don't show fingerprints the way gloss does, and photograph well for social media shots of your table. For a higher-end premium offering, watercolor giclée prints on a smaller scale are an excellent upsell that serious collectors gravitate toward.
Are metallic paper prints available?
Yes. Metallic paper is available on select sizes and is an excellent option for limited edition prints, special variants of existing designs, and artwork with iridescent, gold, or silver tones. The pearlescent base gives prints a luminous quality that's genuinely difficult to replicate with any other media.
Are custom sizes available?
Yes. Contact us for custom dimensions. In many cases, we can recommend the best product for your artwork's specific proportions and provide a direct product link or custom quote. Reach out before ordering if your artwork doesn't match a standard size in our collection.
