Printing Schedule
Prints are made to order, and carefully printed in batches once every two months. After the print order is put in, it will take 3-4 weeks to get your piece printed, signed, and shipped to you, and international orders may take a bit longer. If you have a large print order, it’s possible that we can accommodate your request more quickly, so please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Orders will be put in on the following dates in 2020 :
January 1st
March 1st
May 1st
July 1st
September 1st
November 1st
Print Sizes
All the available print sizes indicate the size of the art itself. What you receive includes a 1-1/2" white border on three sides, and a 1-3/4" border on the bottom for paper prints, and a 2.5" border all around for canvas prints. Paper prints will be hand signed and numbered on the bottom edge, and canvas prints signed on the back.
For your convenience, a list of commonly available frame sizes can be found here.
Paper Prints
Michael Benjamin's fine art prints are produced with 100% cotton rag paper from Hahnemuhle, using lightfast, pigmented inks. The heavy weight of the natural cotton paper stock is ideal for framers. When properly displayed, these prints have incredible longevity.
Shipping PAPER PRINTS
Smaller prints will ship in a well protected box, or a stay-flat envelope.
Larger prints will ship rolled up in tubes, and can be easily flattened out by your framer.

Canvas prints
Archival canvas prints use the same lightfast, pigmented inks on 23 mil Epson Exhibition Canvas Matte Archival and include a UV block acrylic topcoat to eliminate any need for glass.
Shipping CANVAS PRINTS
Canvas prints do not include a stretcher frame, and will be shipped to you rolled up in a tube. Your local framer can assist you in getting your canvas stretched, and add a frame if you wish.
