The Order Fulfillment App will be your central dashboard of modules that connect to various platforms where you might be selling your printed products. Its primary function is to allow you to transfer orders from your store to FinerWorks. Modules that are currently under active development will be grayed out and will be available soon.

Virtual Inventory

 

For platforms that support exporting your virtual inventory as products, you will be able to select from your virtual inventory and publish it as products to those platforms.

Modules

These are various third-party platforms or storefronts that you can connect to the Order Fulfillment App.

Once setup has been completed, return to the home screen or go to My Stores and click the icon to connect your store. Each platform may have its own unique process. Once connected, you can import orders from those platforms. Note that the Excel option does not require any sort of connection. Platforms that are currently under development to be supported will be grayed out. Once any other 3rd party platform is connected, it will display a connected message.

No. We have found non face-mounted acrylics to be subpar in image quality therefore we have moved to the more popular face mounted acrylic print option. This allows us to take advantage of both the superior color gamut and resolution that modern inkjet offers on high quality photo papers.

Yes, we can for quantities of 5 or more of the exact same item. Contact us directly since our website does not allow for ordering all custom sizes in acrylic prints.

The method used to create the acrylic prints we offer will provide little risk in fading unless exposed to direct sunlight over a length of time. Since acrylic is a type of polycarbonate, very hot conditions such as a hot car exposed to sunlight can potentially cause it to warp. It is best to keep it indoors to prevent this from happening. A good measure to help reinforce the acrylic print is the optional die bond backing.

Some people may be surprised to see that acrylic prints look incredibly sharp when printing a high resolution, sharp and crisp image file. That is because the acrylic prints we offer are face mounted prints in which the image is printed on our satin luster paper or metallic paper. It is then face mounted to the back of the acrylic. The printers used for these papers are high resolution Canon inkjet photo printers, which is why these have the potential to look so sharp.

We have built in volume  & bulk discounts that will cover most scenarios; however, if the scope and size of the order is not listed when checking pricing, please contact us with the details of what you want to order and the time frame so that we can work out the fulfillment and pricing of the order.

Both provide a popular sleek modern appearance to your artwork and both use crystal clear panels of acrylic however there are some substantial differences between the two.

First, the HD Face Mounted Acrylics use 1/4″ panes of acrylic while the Acrylic Glass Prints use 1/8″ thick panes.  This can make the HD Face Mounted Acrylic look a little more substantial up close however it also adds extra considerable weight to the product.

Second, The HD Face HD-mounted acrylic has the image printed on either a luster or metallic photo paper. This allows high-resolution images to best take advantage of a wider color gamut and higher-resolution printing. The paper is then mounted to the acrylic glass from behind. With Acrylic Glass Prints, the image is printed directly on the back of the acrylic and finished off with a layer of white. This makes producing the print easier and less expensive. The disadvantage is the color gamut is more limited so artists and photographers who ar exceptionally particular about color accuracy and color gamut might find the HD Acrylic Prints more capable.

Ultimately the Acrylic Glass Prints are lighter, and easier to produce and ship, therefore the cost is much less. We recommend these for most home, office, and even commercial environments. But for higher-end displays and markets, such as galleries, we typically recommend the HD Face Mounted Acrylics.

When it comes to printing photography which is grayscale or meant to appear black and white, most photographers gravitate to the metallic version. With the metallic version, the image is printed on metallic paper (Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl) before mounting it face forward to the back of the acrylic.
