“I’d like to sell my prints online but I dont know where to start, can you help?

Pixel Perfect specialize in Print on Demand for our clients, be it pro photographers, arttists, graphic designers, or stay at home mums with a real talent for photography, so lets cover all the options for you.

Why Choose Pixel Perfect Prolab’s Print on Demand?

 

Pixel Perfect Prolab offers on-demand printing solutions that empower artists, photographers, and brands to sell gallery-quality prints and premium printed products without upfront inventory costs. We believe you should be free to focus on growing your business—not managing shipping and inventory. What sets Pixel Perfect Prolab apart from other print-on-demand services is our extensive range of printing methods, high-quality materials, and custom packing options tailored to your needs.

Most print on demand services offering “Art Prints” lack a diverse material selection and generally offer prints on mediocre surfaces. Most of them don’t even tell you what they are printing on, or what machines they use. This information matters.

 

We know the difference and offer only the highest quality options.

your print files

 

One of the most crucial steps is ensuring you have high-quality, print-ready files. Here are some key points to remember: Quality Matters: High-quality files result in high-quality prints. Average files will lead to less-than-perfect results. Professional Scanning: We offer scanning services for your artwork at 300 ppi to ensure sharp, accurate prints. File Requirements: Before placing an order, review our file requirements to guarantee the best possible outcome. File Storage: If you are ordering often we can securely store your print files for future orders on our servers, so you can simply request the files you want printed without having to up[load the files everytime.

which paper should I print on?


Well this is a very subjective topic. All of our archival cotton papers are colour managed so your images will look the same on the m all. The only difference then is the properties of the paper you choose. We have a wide range of fine art papers. Some papers have a bright white point with others having natural looks, some are smooth and some have texture. We also have satin and glossy papers, even a few metallic papers, and finally a range of eco friendly papers made from Hemp, Agave, and Bamboo fibres. We can do test strips for you, either as an A4 of the whole print or a full size strip for images that are much larger. These help to assess colour accuracy and also image quality when the resolution may be in doubt. 

ready to place an order?

 

If you’re just starting out, simply use our Order Form on the website to place your drop shipping orders. As your volume increases, we can explore options for automating your order submissions. Our standard order form allows you to enter your customer’s address and include any special instructions as needed.

packing options, so many choices…

 

If you would like to come in and sign your prints personally, you can! If you are out of Sydney and would like us to add a digital signature, we can! If you want to add Certificates of Authenticity, we can create a custom one for you printed on the same fine art paper, or we can use the Hahnemuhle certificates, that come with matching holograms for print and certificate. We can also add branding, stickers to packaging, thank you notes, whatever you like to give your work that personal touch. We will also send tracking details as soon as the parcel leaves us.

If your work is A3 or smaller it will be carefully packed with acid free tissue paper, and send in rigid purpose made flat packs. Beyond A3 prints travel wrapped in acid free tissue paper enclosed in very strong white mailing tubes, with foam inserts either end to reduce any chance of damage.

If you are sending framed works, we will not ship glass! Any work that is framed will have Perspex used instead of glass, which will attract a fee. Prices for perspex are in our pricelist.

Shipping to client or pick up in store

 

Please keep in mind that our shipping rates vary depending on the size and weight of the package or parcel, and also the selected service. Here are some key points about our shipping processes:
Shipping Cost Notification: Our default shipping cost is $50, however if your order is larger than a standard flatpack, we provide your extra shipping costs once your order is ready to ship. Your invoice will be updated, and payment for shipping will be required before dispatch.
Tracking Information: You’ll receive tracking details for every order, but we don’t monitor or manage tracking on your behalf.
Lost or Damaged Prints: Pixel Perfect Prolab does not cover the cost of lost or damaged prints.
Returns and Reshipment: Returned shipments can be reshipped at the customer’s expense or picked up from our studio.
Shipping Calculations: We recommend setting your store to automatically calculate shipping costs, as Pixel Perfect Prolab does not calculate rates in advance or assist with product setup.

By planning ahead for shipping options and rates, you’ll ensure a smooth process for your print order
