Why are your Type II wallcoverings Anti-Microbial?
InArt Studios provides our Anti-Microbial Coating standard on all our Type II wallcovering. This hospital-grade coating dramatically reduces the time that infectious disease microbes can live on the wallcovering surface. While essential for healthcare facilities, when used in hotel rooms, lobbies, or other public locations, these anti-microbial properties can significantly reduce the risk of infection.

Can I provide creative, images or graphics for you to print?
While we are pleased to print any digital creative you might want to provide, please keep in mind, digital art files need to be very high resolution, clean, and sharp to produce a successful large scale work. Refer to our Interior and Mural Artwork Guidelines, Photo Resolution Guidelines, and Additional Bleed Allowance Guide ahead of starting art development to ensure the final files provided are properly sized and formatted. We review all files submitted to ensure suitability for large scale use. Our design staff can further assist with any additional cleaning or file preparation that might be required.

What is a "strike off"?
A "strike off" is a full-sized cropped section taken from your overall large scale art work or panoramic image. It is produced on the same material with the same finishing as the final product. This provides you with an exact sample of the final product.
-
Do you have samples that I can see and show to my clients?
Yes, we can provide samples of our standard Type II wallcovering and tension frame fabrics. We have a limited number of sample kits that can be loaned out for your review. Due to the high cost of these kits, they will need to be returned. The kits can also be purchased if you would like.

Can you help me "visualize" what the final installation will look like?
Sure. For murals, simply provide us with a digital photograph of the site "location" for the mural/artistic installation. We can "insert" your large scale art into the scene for your review and approval. For museum exhibits, themed attractions, or projects with more sophisticated 3D art, modeling, or visualization needs, visit our 3D Art & Visualization page.

Do You have a printed catalog?
Having expansive art work collections which are constantly added to, and over 50,000 Panoramic Images to choose from, we do not produce a traditional catalog. Our complete collections are most easily browsed online and all our information is available on our website. Please do not hesitate to Contact Us with any questions you may have.
-
How large of a mural/artistic installation can I have produced?
For photo murals, the only limitation is the quality and resolution of the photo. We recommend Panoramic Images photos be selected for murals over 12' wide, as only panoramic format images typically have the needed resolution. Panoramic Images have photos suitable for murals up to 50 feet (15 meters) wide. For InArt Designs Collections the maximum sizes range from 30 feet wide, to 50' wide, to unlimited width for some designs, as indicated on each art work's specification sheet. For newly created art, the easy answer is, "there are no limits".
-
What if I want to cancel my order after I have sent the 50% deposit?
In the course of a project, client needs and budgets can change. Should you decide to have us stop work on a mural that is in the design process, your deposit will be returned to you minus any amount for "work already performed".
-
Do you handle the installation?
Yes, we can provide installation throughout the United States. If the General Contractor or Sub-contractor is performing a installation of tradition wallcovering or similar, we will work with them to assure a smooth and problem free install. Note that tension framed fabrics, such as Descor, use a proprietary framing system that can only be installed by our certified installers.
-
Will you provide input about your murals/artistic installations during the planning stages for the interior "space"?
Yes, by allowing us to work with you from the beginning of a project, we can make suggestions that best suit your specific space and your final vision. By giving us the opportunity to review the floor plan/elevation and your ideas for that space, we can identify any potential issues and suggest alternatives as needed.
-
Can I choose an image from an "on-line" photo house?
Traditional "On-line" photo houses, historical societies, and traditional photographers offer additional images which, depending on format and resolution, may be workable for murals up to 10 to 12 feet in width. There are specific licensing and "rights" issues associated with images from these sources when used for murals. Please see our Photo Resolution - Size Guidelines page for additional info when considering these sources. We strongly recommend Panoramic Images photos be selected for murals over 12' wide, as only panoramic format images typically have the needed resolution. Panoramic Images have photos suitable for murals as large as 30 feet (9 meters) to over 50 feet (15 meters) wide.

How Do I Review and Approve a Newly Created Digital Art Work?
For Panoramic Images and In Art Designs' Collection art, upon approval of quote, you will receive a layout showing the art or photo scaled to your wall dimensions. Upon approval of the layout (and receipt of PO/deposit) a strike off (a full sized cropped section taken from your overall large scale art work or panoramic image is printed and sent to you for approval. Upon approval of the strike off, your full size mural is printed and shipped with a panel break layout guide drawing for the installers. For us to Create a New Art Work, we first require approval of the quote and receipt of PO/deposit before design starts. The new art process involves the additional concept and progress approval steps outlined on our Create a New Art Work page.
-
How do I approve Art Work and Panoramic Image Colors?
The colors of the art and images viewed on this site may vary from the colors of the actual art and images when printed due to differences in the way computer monitors and screens display colors. This is why we always send strike off prints for final color approval before producing your full size art work. Strike offs show the exact final colors of a portion of the full size art work on the actual material your final work will be printed.
