How do you ship and what are your shipping charges?

Our prints are carefully hand rolled in tissue paper or plastic sleeves and mailed in heavy duty tubes or boxes. We ship our prints via the US Postal Service (USPS), UPS, and Fedex. 

What types of paper are your prints and charts printed on?

Our standard premium paper is a medium-weight, matte paper which is far thicker than the typical poster or print paper. It ranges from 80 lb to 100 lb cover stock depending on the print. We use vivid, archival inks. Prints are carefully hand-rolled in tissue paper or plastic sleeves and mailed in heavy-duty tubes or boxes.
