Frequently Asked Questions
-
First, you will fill out a form and include several photos of your pet. I’ll send you an invoice for 50% of the total cost then get to work on your portrait. You will have a chance to approve the portrait before I start printing your portrait/stationery on press.
-
Due to the portrait drawing process and the nature of letterpress, please allow up to 8 weeks for your portrait.
-
I use 100% cotton tree-free paper. It’s very high quality and makes a beautiful impression with letterpress.
-
It’s up to you! What showcases your pet’s personality? I’m partial towards a classic sit pose because it looks so sweet as a portrait and on a white paper background. It’s a good idea to make sure your pet pose doesn’t include a background piece of furniture, otherwise they might look like they’re floating midair!
-
Unfortunately, no. The letterpress process is limited to a certain size based on the machine. I can do my best to maximize the space in the 5×7” printing area.
-
No, the print does not come framed, but they are printed on a standard size that makes framing very cost-effective. Please frame your piece with UV protected glass to best preserve the artwork.
-
Letterpress has been around for centuries and is a stamp printing process where where raised, inked surfaces—traditionally metal or wood type—are pressed directly into paper. There are many different types of presses! I print on a Chandler & Price Platen Press that’s over 100 years old.
-
The pricing includes two ink colors, three colors total if you include white (the paper). For example, if you have a white dog, I can outline your dog in a different color and allow white space to show through – see sample photos of the German Shorthaired Pointer at the bottom of this page!
-
Let’s talk! Each color requires a new press run and cleanup, so there is a $150 fee per extra color. I’d be happy to talk through your idea and see if we can make it happen.
-
Yes. 50% is due to order your portrait, and 50% will be due upon delivery.
