A wedding photographer sent us 3 image files on a Thursday night.
By Saturday morning, 3 gallery-wrapped canvases – 16″×24″ each – were ready. Genuine Epson ink. Varnished & hand-stretched, ready to be hung on the wall.
Her client never knew it was a rush job.
That’s what express canvas printing looks like when you work with a studio that’s been doing this for close to 10 years.
WhatsApp us your file thumbnail and your deadline. We’ll tell you ASAP if we can hit it.
What Happens When You Don’t Have a Fast Printer
The birthday is Saturday. You realise on Thursday that you still don’t have a gift.
The gallery opening is Monday. The walls are bare.
The photographer promised her client framed canvases. The client’s anniversary is in 3 days.
Most canvas printing studios in Singapore quote 5-7 working days. That’s fine – until it isn’t.
When your deadline doesn’t move, your printer can’t be the bottleneck. That’s exactly why we built an express service.
How It Works. 4 Steps, No Surprises
Step 1: Send us your file and deadline. WhatsApp or email. Include the full-res image, the size you want, and exactly when you need it by. Takes 2 minutes.
Step 2: We quote you ASAP. Straight answer. Either we can hit your deadline, or we tell you the fastest realistic alternative. No runaround.
Step 3: Confirm and pay – your job jumps the queue. The moment payment lands, we start. Print, varnish, stretch, finish – all on priority.
Step 4: Pick it up. Done. Self-collection from our studio. We message you the moment it’s ready.
From files received to canvas in your hands – we’ve done it in under 24 hours.
Same Quality. Just Faster.
Here’s what some people assume about express printing: “If it’s fast, something must be cut.”
Nothing is cut. Here’s exactly what you get – the same as every standard order we produce:
Printed on a Giclée printer with genuine Epson UltraChrome Pro ink. Not compatible ink. Not refilled cartridges. 100% authentic Epson pigment ink on a professional large-format Giclée printer. Rich colour, fine detail, built to last. We guarantee it. If any print is found not using genuine Epson ink, you get a full refund AND keep the print. We’ve never had to honour that guarantee. We never will.
Protective varnish coating. Every canvas gets a layer of protection against fingerprints, dust, UV light, and accidental splashes. Wipe it with a damp cloth – looks brand new. This is the same varnish we use on our standard stretched canvas.
Gallery-wrapped: the image continues around the sides for a clean, frameless look.
Hanging hardware installed and ready. Specialised weight-resistant hooks. Plastic-coated hanging wire (won’t scratch your wall or poke through stacked canvases). Framing tape seal. You hang it the day you pick it up.
Photoshop preview before we print. You see the final result before a single drop of ink hits canvas. Approve it, or request changes. No risk, no surprises, no “hope it turns out OK.”
That’s 5 things most studios charge extra for or skip entirely. You get all of them standard on every express order.
Express Sizes
Express canvas is available in our standard in-house sizes:
16″ · 20″ · 24″ · 28″ · 32″ · 36″ · 40″
Mix any two. 16″×24″, 20″×30″, 24″×36″, 16″×40″ — you pick the combination.
Non-standard sizes need outsourced custom framing, which adds days. If speed is the priority, stick with our in-house range. Not sure which size? Send us your image and we’ll recommend the best fit for your wall space.
What Express Costs
Express adds ranged from $30+ on top of standard canvas pricing for most orders ($100–200 range). Bigger orders or tighter timelines may be quoted higher – we’ll tell you upfront.
Why does express cost more? Simple: your job skips the queue, and we compress our production timeline to hit your deadline. The materials and quality are identical. You’re paying for priority, not a different product.
We quote before you commit. No hidden charges. No surprises after payment.

Who Uses Express And Why
The gift buyer who left it late. You’re not the first person to realise on Wednesday that the anniversary is Saturday. A meaningful photo, printed on canvas, gallery-wrapped, ready to hang, is a gift that looks like you planned it for weeks. Nobody needs to know you ordered it 48 hours ago.
The photographer with a client deadline. Your client is expecting framed canvases. The original printer fell through. Or you simply ran out of time. Send us the files, confirm payment, and pick up finished canvases within a day or two. Your reputation stays intact.
The event organiser with bare walls. Office launch. Company milestone. Exhibition opening. The date doesn’t shift. The venue needs art on the walls. We’ve turned around display canvases for events on timelines that would make other studios say no.
The tattoo artist restocking the studio. New flash sheets. Updated portfolio pieces. A client commission you want up on the wall before the weekend. 60cm+ large format, done fast. Send the file, pick the size, we handle the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cutoff time for express orders? No hard cutoff. The earlier you confirm and pay, the sooner we start – but we’ve turned around orders received late in the day and still hit tight deadlines. Tell us when you need it. We’ll tell you if it’s possible.
What if my image resolution is too low? We check every file before printing. If it won’t look good at your chosen size, we tell you upfront – and suggest the largest size that WILL look sharp. 20+ years of image experience means we catch problems before they cost you money.
Can I get delivery instead of self-collection? Express is optimised for speed, so self-collection from our collection point is standard. Delivery can be arranged but adds transit time.
What about non-standard sizes? We can do them, but they require specialised framing – which takes longer and isn’t reliable for tight deadlines. For express, our in-house 16″-40″ range is the safest bet. Tell us what you need and we’ll advise.
