FAQ

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY ARTWORK WILL LOOK GOOD PRINTED ON WOOD?

Good question. When selecting the finishing options to be printed on wood, you should consider the following:

By selecting Bright White Finish, no wood grain will show through your image making it really stand out when printed. This finish is a perfect option for close up family photos, black and white photography, and fine art images.

When selecting Vintage Matte or Natural Gloss finish options the natural lines of the wood grain will show through in all the lighter colors of an image adding a level of depth to the wood print. By selecting Vintage Matte, a flat look to the wood will show through the image. The Natural Gloss, our most popular option, highlights a light sheen in the wood.

When printing with Vintage Matte or Natural Gloss, please keep the following in mind:

  • We do not print with white ink, so any area in your photo or art piece that is white will not be printed
  • Lighter colors will be more transparent and show more grain
  • Darker colors like black and blues will print more opaque and show less wood grain
WHAT DOES MARGIN MEAN?

When selecting “Yes” under the Margin option, you are placing a border around your image,creating the look of a frame around your print. *** Please note, the border around the print will be the finish option you choose. EX: Bright White, will reflect a white border around your wood print, whereas Natural Gloss and Vintage Matte will have a wood grain border.

WHAT RESOLUTION DO YOU RECOMMEND PER SIZE OF PRINT?

We like to have all files to be 150 dpi (dots per inch) when scaled to the size you are ordering, but we can use files at 75 dpi. You CANNOT go lower than this without your print losing quality.

WHAT KIND OF WOOD DO YOU USE?

We use only the finest sustainable birch, maple, and bamboo plywood available. All of our wood is harvested from sustainable regions of the world.

WHAT IS FARMER'S FOOTPRINT?

We are committed to protecting the environment and giving back to the community. Environmentally responsible behavior is essential to our growth and long-term company success. Prints on Wood donates $1.00 for every order we sell to Farmer's Footprint to ensure we all do our part. Lean MoreHERE

HOW DO I HANG A LARGER PRINT?

Hanging a larger print takes a bit more time and patience. Here are a few helpful tips:

- A leveler is needed for the two holes and approximate distance between two holes so placing nails is easier.
- A special screw type is needed to support the weight of the print. (we found out this the hard way when the nail snapped and almost damaged the print)
