Every inksby order runs through a real photo lab: calibrated color, archival inks and papers, real quality checks, and a promise to make it right if it isn't perfect. Here's exactly what that means.
Calibrated lab color
COLOR CALIBRATION
Color, tuned by a calibrated pro lab.
Your screen and the lab's printers speak the same language. Every order is produced on calibrated professional lab equipment with managed color profiles and true photographic papers — so the greens, golds, and skin tones you see are the ones that land in your hands.

THE MATERIALS, BY NAME
Materials you can look up.
No mystery “premium stock.” This is exactly what each piece is made of — named, specific, and verifiable — because a print you’ll keep for decades deserves better than adjectives.
Photo Prints
True C-type photo paper
Developed photographically on silver halide paper — continuous tone with no inkjet dot pattern. Glossy or lustre surface.
Posters
Heavyweight 170gsm poster stock
Sustainably sourced heavyweight paper, printed with rich aqueous inks for crisp detail and deep color density.

Hand-stretched over 38mm kiln-dried, knotless pine bars. Rated for 200+ years of display permanence.
Framed Prints
Giclée print, solid-wood frame
Water-based giclée printing — rated 100–200 years in optimal display conditions — behind shatter-resistant acrylic glazing.
Framed + Mount
Conservation-grade acid-free mat
Bevel-cut snow-white 2.4mm mount board: conservation grade and 100% acid-free, so it will not discolor or fade with age.
Metal Prints
ChromaLuxe® aluminum
Dye-sublimated so color is infused into the panel itself. Lifetime resistance to yellowing and UV; waterproof and scratchproof.
THE THREE FINISHES
Choose the finish that fits the photo.
Same pro lab, three signature surfaces. Not sure which to pick? Lustre is the pro-lab favorite for a reason — glare-free with rich contrast.
Glossy finish
Glossy
Vivid, punchy color with a brilliant, reflective sheen that makes bright shots pop.
Best for travel & bold color
Matte finish
Matte
Soft, glare-free, and fingerprint-resistant — a timeless look with a calm surface.
Best for portraits & B&W
Lustre finish
Most popular
Lustre
A fine pearl texture that hides glare and deepens contrast. The pro-lab favorite.
Best all-rounder
Checked before it ships
QUALITY CHECKS
Checked before it prints. Backed after it ships.
The editor checks every photo's resolution as you pick sizes and warns you before anything would print soft — what you approve is exactly what prints. Finished pieces pass the lab's production quality check and are packed flat in rigid, protective mailers. And if anything still isn't right, we make it right.
