review of ZArtPrints.com
A few months ago, I was invited to take part in a beta commercial website to provide canvas art prints, ZArtPrints.com.
Hugh and Senta Parker, photographers from Sonoma, California set up a website, Zazagallery.com, originally to promote their own artwork, but because they were set up and had the ability to print more than they personally needed, decided to extend the website to printing the work of other artists too. Their success prompted them to build a commerce website for other artists to use as a gallery to present their works and provide canvas printing.
The site is still in beta with new features being developed and artists added - it all seems to work as intended. I seem to be featured on the random images homepage of the site, perhaps because I uploaded more than a few images already.
I ordered a print to see what was in store for my customers and must say when I opened the box delivered by FedEx today, I was surprised and pleased. At first examination, the print was perfect, exactly as depicted for color and luminosity as displayed on my calibrated monitors. Examining further, I found the canvas stretched on a frame ready to hang, the image is wrapped around the edges and the back has a black dust cover with hanging cable.
Ready to hang-it was on the wall in our foyer seconds after completing my inspection. ZArtPrints.com gets my top rating. I can't think of any way their canvas print product can be improved. The printing - perfect, the framing, corners, dust cover, wire hanging, and even the non-detectable UV and abrasion laquer spray - perfect.
I didn't know what was in the package when my FedEx driver handed me the box but I commented to my wife that here was a box I can use for shipping prints... Opening it, I found the print well packed and traveled without damage.
