ABOUT

Poster printing for Canterbury, without the print shop

Canterbury is standard UK delivery: included, tracked, usually two to three working days after dispatch. Prints ordered before 3pm on a working day leave the same day; framed prints take one to three working days to make first.

The question Canterbury asks more than most is what it's allowed to print: the postcard from the cathedral shop, the artist's print bought at a market, the photo a friend took. The guide below gives a plain answer. Everything prints the same way: upload, size, frame, preview, pay.

The paper is 240gsm giclée in matte, satin or gloss at one price; frames are Black, White or Oak pine with plexiglass, ready to hang. No minimum, three or more prints to one address 20% off, and prices set for the fifteen thousand sellers who print with us rather than for walk-in customers.

Homes
Photos, digital downloads, children's drawings, gig posters. One print, no minimum, delivered to the door.
Businesses
Office art, event signage, exhibition and market prints. Pay per order, no account manager required.
Sellers
More than 5,000 shops print with us every day, which is why a single poster costs so little.
THE PAPER

Paper you can feel

Every poster is printed on 240gsm archival paper, FSC-certified, with giclée-quality inks. It's the paper our sellers get rave reviews for, and it's the same for a single print as for a thousand. Three finishes, all the same price.

Gloss
Bold, vibrant colours with a reflective shine. The one for photos.
Satin
Smooth, subtle sheen with minimal glare. Lifts colour without the shine.
Matte
Classic flat finish, no reflections. The choice for art prints and anything behind glass.

Printing in Canterbury: your questions

Can I print art I bought a print or postcard of?

Not without the artist's permission; buying a copy doesn't buy the right to make more. Your own work, work you commissioned, printables sold for personal use, and art old enough to be out of copyright are all fine.

Can I cancel an order?

Before it's printed, yes: email hey@printshrimp.com with the order number straight away; prints are made the same day, so be quick.

Is there a student discount?

No, but three or more unframed prints to one address are 20% off for everyone.

Can I print a photo a friend took?

For your own wall, with their blessing, yes; ask them for the original file so it prints sharp.

What you can print, and what you can't

You can print anything you made: photos you took, drawings you drew, designs you built. You can print work you commissioned or bought as a file with a personal-use licence, which is what most Etsy printables are. You can print work that's out of copyright, which in the UK means the artist died more than seventy years ago, so a Turner is fine and a living painter's print is not. And you can print a photo a friend took if they're happy for you to.

You can't print a copy of a print, postcard, poster or book page you bought, because buying the object doesn't include the right to reproduce it; nor a photo you found online without asking; nor a film still, a band's artwork or a brand's logo. We print what you upload and don't check, so the rights are yours to hold, and a seller found reproducing someone else's work is removed.

If you love a living artist's work, most sell prints or licences themselves; buying one supports them and gets you a better file than a scan of a postcard.
