Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my artwork will look good printed on wood?
Good question. When selecting a photo or piece of art to be printed on wood you should consider the following:
- 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 if I am unhappy with my Custom "Create Your Own" print?
We understand that there are many uncontrollable circumstances that may lead to you not liking your custom print on wood. Maybe the artwork doesn't look like you imagined or the image does not look so great on wood. Unfortunately, each piece is custom and made to order so we cannot offer a refund simply based on personal preference.
What kind of wood do you use?
We use only the finest FSC certified birch, maple, and bamboo plywood that we can find.
What about the trees?
We love trees just as much as you do. We donate $1 from every order to the billion tree foundation - $1 = 1 tree. That being said, we only use wood that is harvested from sustainable regions of the world, and all wood we use carries the FSC certified stamp. Learn more about what it means to be FSC Certified by following the link provided below.
How do I take care of a wood print?
Taking care of a wood print is just as easy as taking care of any other fine art piece. The same rules apply. Don't get it wet. Don't scratch or wipe the front with abrasive materials. Do not cleanDon't expose the piece to fire or any other damaging substance. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us before you make a purchase online. Damp, 100% cotton cloth. Again, DAMP not wet
Does the ink smear or run if it gets wet?
The printing method we use is delicate yet durable. There is the possibility that ink may smear if you expose it to water or any other liquid, however, it usually takes a considerable amount of moisture combined with moving pressure to make the ink smear. Just use caution when wiping the front.
