But hopefully this does not happen! As listed, we custom make-to-order proudly in Australia, & are ourselves based in Melbourne and shipping daily currently at present. We really do appreciate your business.

Being custom, made to order prints, our usual returns policy otherwise would apply and we do not offer change-of-mind or returns being custom manufactured-to-order artwork once an order is placed - but will offer refunds should stage 4 restrictions come into play and we have to hold production entirely and you do not with to wait until we re-commence business.

Who is The Print Emporium?

See our 'About Us' page HERE for a little more about who we are, but in a nutshell we are a Melbourne based contemporary art brand launched in 2017. Our aim is to deliver an ever-growing range of on trend, unique and designer artwork. We participate in leading industry trade exhibitions and events such as Decor & Design trade show, Life Instyle , Reed Gift Fair and similar industry events. We regularly work with decorators, designers, hotels, and retail shops, and also direct to the consumer via our website here.

Where do you produce your artwork?

The Print Emporium's artwork range is all proudly designed in-house and custom printed and framed to-order in Australia! Our head office is based in Melbourne. For our Australian customers, we offer stretched ready-to-hang canvases, along with unframed or framed art prints. All our premium range (hand painted aesthetic) art prints are reprints from our original paintings, and we now sell high quality reprints as either a canvas or art print (framed options available). If you look up close you will see the brush strokes from our artists' brush. We also photograph exclusive prints we snap ourselves, or resell a curated photography collection.

Live outside of Australia? Worldwide shipping is available on all (unframed) Art Prints and also (upon request only) Rolled Canvases (un-stretched).

Do you ship internationally? And if so, which items?

Yes! But as listed above, currently for international customers we just offer our Art Prints (unframed) and (upon request only) printed Rolled Canvases (un-stretched), shipped in protective mailer tubes. This is due to the size/weight of framed bulky items, and also wood fumigation issues (in certain countries) as we use quality timber framing for both canvases and framed prints, we aren't able to cater to sending them overseas, we do hope you understand.

Just email us at enquiries@theprintemporium.com.au should you have any q's or custom requests.

ABOUT OUR STRETCHED CANVAS ART PRINTS:

Stretched Canvas: a ready-to-hang canvas print which is stretched (canvas fabric) on 40mm wooden timber stretcher-beams, and with mirrored artwork on the side edges, which means we have mirrored the artwork so it wraps around the edges when stretched, creating a seamless design when looking from a side angle. There is also an option to add a shadow box floating frame (four colour options available) for a more premium gallery look. The finished dimensions for our canvas prints when they have this shadow box floating frame around them, will be an additional 4cm approximately to the listed size dimensions (height and width) due to this additional frame.

Proudly designed and made to order in Australia
Premium poly/cotton artist's canvas
Printed with quality UV fade resistant eco-friendly giclee inks
Stretched onto a 34mm thick pine craft-wood frame
Arrives ready-to-hang on your wall
Gallery-quality finish backing wire metal d-ring hooks
All canvas edges have mirrored artwork on all four sides, for a full wrap around effect of the design
An option to add a 5cm deep shadow box floating frame (in white, black, light timber-look, natural timber-look (non timber PVC MDF), or our deluxe genuine raw oak timber option)
Care instructions: wipe down with a wet cloth (no harsh chemicals)
Do not hang artwork in direct sunlight
All orders arrive safely wrapped within a protective box carton
On most sizes of our canvases the use of removable hooks eg 3M brand instead of traditional hooks is fine. This means no damage to walls, which is especially great for renters.
For International customers, (upon request only) we offer un-stretched (rolled canvas) options. Shipped in tube. Freight cost to be quoted.

ABOUT OUR ART PRINTS (ON PAPER):

Our art prints are giclee printed (using archival pigment inks) on lovely 230gsm matte white art paper (not gloss finish) stock and are custom framed with with shatterproof plexiglass and a 100% genuine wood 20mm (wide) x 40mm (deep) for Black and White or 36mm deep for our Natural Oak high-end picture frames. Available in: NATURAL WOOD, WHITE or BLACK (smooth) or BLACK (grain) 100% genuine wood. These are high quality frames, far superior to standard store bought removable picture frames. There is hanging wire and D-rings on the back, ready to hang when you receive. Please note, we choose not to use matte board on our framed prints, for a more contemporary look.

Unframed art prints also available, should you wish to frame your artwork in your own frame. These shipped rolled up in a protective mailer tube. Please do note, all our art prints on paper come with a white border, i.e. a few centimetres of unprinted white edges, for a contemporary look once framed. This is included in the size of the paper. However, we can print edge to edge (no white border look) upon request, simply make a note of this request in the comments box on the checkout, and then the artwork design will fill the entire paper size.

For example:

The 60x60cm size print has 3.5cm of white border around the edges, meaning the artwork fills 53x53cm of the paper, rest is white. Or we can print edge to edge 60x60cm upon request of 'edge to edge no border'.

And another example, our 50x70cm size print, has 3.75cm around the edges, meaning the artwork fills 42.5 x 62.5cm, and the rest is kept white. Or we can print edge to edge 50x70cm upon request of 'edge to edge no border' in the comments box at checkout. The white border scales up/down depending on paper size.
