Nice, clean website. Are you fulfilling the products yourself, or using a vendor?
What are you using for the cropping tool?
Well done! Congrats on shipping!

#12The price is roughly triple that of Costco. A bit of hassle is worth that to me (and to be honest, they have no hassle either).
For the canvas prints, but the poster prints are a really good price. Most are less than half the price of FedEx Office and price competitive with the few poster sizes Costco does.

I'd have to agree with you. As someone who works in print, I'm usually surprised by the prices the fulfillment services are offering. I actually am preparing a beta launch of a service to offer all of these same products (kind of creepy coincidence) because I do feel the market is lacking. We already have all of the equipment in place and running, along with fantastic discounts on bulk shipping, supplies, packaging etc. Our pricing will be about 25% of what is shown (give or take a small amount). If you are interested, I'd love to chat with you and see if we can work together.

#14> High quality PNG's are best (150dpi or more). [..] All fonts should be converted to outlines to ensure fonts are displayed correctly. Above is from the guidelines for posters. PNGs are bitmaps and hence there are no fonts to outline. Outlines could be part of PDFs but those don't have an associated DPI. This needs clarification.
Ah yeah, I pulled PSD and PDF support right before launch, needed a little more work for those. So, that text was with regard to those file types. Thanks for catching that!

Thanks! I'm using a vendor for fulfillment. Ordered several test prints and loved their quality.
And I'm using Jcrop for cropping.

#16How does this compare in quality to canvas prints from a photo lab such as Millers/MPix or WHCC? Cost looks to be about equal to a 1.5" canvas gallery wrap from either those shops.
Canvas gallery wraps are comparable to WHCC's premium gallery wraps. Though they don't have backing. PM me or email me if you're interested in ordering a test print: blake@printify.io!

#17I had a canvas printed on a cruise boat, where the prices are ridiculously jacked up, for about 1/2 to 1/3 less than the prices quoted here.

#18Anyone here have suggestions for quality wood and glass/plexiglass frames at a cost not more than twice what you'd pay for prints in the first place?

Will you do stuff besides prints? Specifically apparel?
