Buyer's Guide

Art Simplified

Buying art online can be hard, so we've created a Buyer's Guide to help you through the process! Of course, if you don't find the answer you're looking for here, please do not hesitate to reach out via email. 

Collection Prints offers art in three different materials: Digital Downloads, Canvas, and Paper. Each material serves a unique purpose for our customers depending on their goals and preferences when it comes to displaying their art. 

DIGITAL DOWNLOADS 

Shop Digital Downloads

Digital Printing Options

When you purchase a digital download you will receive a zip file with the images saved in 2:3, 4:5, and 3:4 ratios and when applicable, a 16:9 ratio and a Frame TV file. The aspect ratio refers to the height and width ratio of an image. Using the correct aspect ratio when printing digital art will allow you to print the piece without cropping or resizing.

Use the guide below to decide which file you should use for the print size of your choosing:

  • 2:3 - 4x6, 5x7, 12x18, 20x30, 24x36
  • 3:4 - 18x24, 30x40
  • 4:5 -  8x10, 11x14, 16x20
  • 16:9 - To be used when printing artwork long and narrow.
  • Frame TV - To be used with the Samsung Frame TV.

PAPER PRINTS

Shop Paper Prints

Paper Print Options

We offer our paper prints in two options: non-framed and framed. Our non-framed paper prints will arrive without a frame and are to be used with an existing frame you already have or plan to purchase separately. Our framed prints will arrive framed and ready to be hung right out of the packaging. 

We offer hand-crafted wood frames in gold, black, white, natural, and espresso tones. 

All framed prints include:

  • Frame-grade, UV-blocking acrylic.
  • Acid-free, archival mats (on applicable orders).
  • Dust Cover attached to the back of the frame.
  • Hanging wire for easy installation (on applicable orders).

When choosing framed paper art, the "Choose Size (W/H)" represents both the image size and frame size when a mat is not selected. When a mat is added, the image size is reduced to accommodate the mat while the frame size stays the same. For example, a 40 x 30 size with a mat will have a frame size of 40 x 30 and an image size of 34 x 24. 

The chart below shows each frame size and the associated image size when a mat is selected as well as other relevant frame dimensions.

CANVAS

Shop Canvas

Canvas Print Options

We offer our canvas prints in 3 different formats: Stretched Canvas, Mounted Canvas, and Float Frame Canvas.

Stretched Canvas - The canvas is professionally stretched over a 1 1/2”, high quality, kiln-dried poplar wood stretcher bar. With its mirrored edges, the stretched canvas is the perfect frameless look that comes ready to hang.  

Mounted Canvas – Similar to our framed paper prints, the mounted canvas is attached to a 1/8” medium density fiberboard (MDF) substrate and secured in our sleek, modern frames available in four unique finishes (white, black, natural, espresso). The mounted canvas features a glassless front for the perfect, glare-free, matte look.  

Float Frame Canvas – Our stretched canvas is inserted into a sleek float frame with a 1/8” reveal between the canvas edge and the frame. This premium product is sure to make a statement in any room.  The float frame features a glassless front for the perfect, glare-free, matte look. 

We offer hand-crafted wood mounted frames and float frames in gold, black, white, natural, and espresso tones. All canvas art includes:

  • Glassless front for the perfect, glare-free, matte look. 
  • Dust Cover attached to the back of the frame.
  • Hanging wire for easy installation (on applicable orders).
