Choose your print surface with fewer surprises
Paper and canvas choices are easier when you can see and feel the surface in your own space. A screen can show color and detail, but it cannot show paper texture, canvas weight, surface sheen, or how bright a white point feels in real light.
The media sample set gives you a hands-on reference before you order. Use it to compare fine art papers, photo papers, and canvas options, then match the surface to the artwork, display plan, and finish you want.
What’s Included in Your Sample Set
Each set includes:
- A printed reference guide for comparing color, detail, and finish across our paper and canvas options
- Blank swatches so you can feel thickness, texture, stiffness, and canvas weight in hand
- Simple guidance for matching the right surface to fine art reproductions, photography, retail prints, and wall art
Who This Is Best For
- Artists choosing a fine art paper for editions or reproductions
- Photographers comparing matte, luster, glossy, and contrast-forward finishes
- Studios and sellers selecting surfaces for retail or client work
- Anyone deciding between paper, canvas, texture, brightness, or sheen before ordering
How to Use the Sample Set
- Review the printed guide in the kind of light where your work will be seen
- Feel the swatches to compare weight, thickness, texture, and surface finish
- Match the surface to your artwork style, display plan, and customer expectations
- Order prints with a clearer sense of how the finished piece will look and feel
