Ordering and prices

Will anything be added to the price I see on a product page?

Only delivery. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout for the goods. On top of that, sending an order to a UK mainland address costs £7.95, or nothing when your goods come to £100 or more after discount codes. Artwork and design fees do not count towards that £100.

Why does the total move when I change a size or material?

Every combination costs a different amount to make. A bigger size, a heavier material, an extra finish, a larger quantity or a quicker turnaround all change the work involved. The product page opens on the lowest-priced combination and recalculates the moment you change any option, so you always see the real figure for your choices.

The size I want is not on the list. Can you still make it?

Often, yes. Products marked as custom size let you type in your own width and height, as long as they sit inside the minimum and maximum given on that page. For anything else, send us the measurements and how many you need through the Get a quote page, and we will come back with a price.

We want the same canvas for the whole family. Is it cheaper to order several?

Each canvas costs about the same whether you order one or ten, because every canvas is printed and stretched by hand. Art prints are different: the price per print drops a lot as the quantity goes up. Pick the quantity on the product page and the exact total shows straight away. For a big set, ask for a price through the Get a quote page.

Does ordering more than one change the price per item?

It depends on the product. On art prints and wall art prints the first print carries the setup, so extra copies cost much less each. Canvases are stretched one at a time, so each canvas costs about the same. Whatever you pick, the price on the product page is the real price for that quantity.

What payment methods do you take?

Debit and credit cards, paid at checkout. You can check out as a guest without making an account. Card payments are handled by Stripe, so your full card number is never seen or kept by Canvas Printed.

Artwork and file checks

Which kind of file prints best?

A PDF made at the finished size, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines, gives the most reliable result. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, or high resolution JPG, PNG and TIFF images. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each can go on the product page, or you can upload after ordering. The artwork guidelines explain resolution and bleed.

Will someone look at my artwork before it is printed?

A person looks at it when you add File check; otherwise the check is automatic. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. When you upload a photo or file of your own, an automatic check tests its size and resolution, and a file that is too small is stopped before you pay. Add File check (£4.99) and a person checks the size, bleed and resolution and tells you if something needs fixing. Paid design comes with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The turnaround clock starts once the order is placed and the artwork is agreed.

I have no design at all. Can you make one for me?

Yes. Many product pages offer paid artwork help, from setting your text and logo in a clean layout to a full design from your brief, each at a fixed fee shown on the page. If the option you need is not there, use the Contact page and tell us what you have in mind.

Design files

Does it cost anything to use the online designer?

No. Building a design and previewing it on screen is free, as many times as you like. While you work, a small "Canvas Printed preview" watermark sits over the design. That mark is only on screen and never appears on the file we print from.

If I order printing, do I also get a copy of the design file?

Yes. Any design from the online designer that you have printed comes with its high resolution PDF, linked to the order. Once the order is paid, open My Account > Orders to save a copy, or use the link in the confirmation email we send you.

Can I pay for the design file without ordering any printing?

Yes. Finish your design in the designer and pick "Buy the print-ready PDF". Each design costs £9.99, and because nothing is printed or posted there is no delivery to pay. You get a PDF built to the finished size, bleed included and text outlined, for your own use only, not to sell on. As soon as payment clears, it is ready to download from My Account, with a link in your email as well.

What happens if I want my money back for a design file?

The law treats a PDF like this as digital content. When you buy, you request it immediately and confirm that the cancellation right is lost once downloading starts, which the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 permit. A broken file is different: if it refuses to open or comes out at the wrong size, let us know and you will get a working file or your £9.99 back. Please go over names and spellings slowly before you finish your design.

Delivery

What will I pay for delivery?

£7.95 per order to the UK mainland, or nothing when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Photo panels bigger than A0 add £15 once per order. Mainland Scottish Highlands add £10. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order. We do not send outside the UK.

When will my order turn up?

Every product lists, for each turnaround choice, the number of working days before it is ready to leave us. Once it has been sent, the courier normally takes one to three working days, and tracking details arrive by email.

I have a deadline. Can the order be made more quickly?

Many products offer an Express turnaround, which shortens the time before your order is sent. Where it is available, you will see it on the product page along with its price, so you can weigh the cost against your date.

Returns and problems

I changed my mind after ordering. Can I send it back?

Not once it is printed, sorry. Items made to your own design are personalised, so the usual 14-day right to cancel does not cover them. Up until production begins, though, you can cancel and get all your money back, so contact us as soon as you can.

My order came damaged or it is not what I ordered. What now?

Tell us within 48 hours and include photos. When something arrives broken or faulty, or differs from the artwork you signed off or uploaded, we will print it again or give you a refund, as the Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides.
