Samples Starter Kit
The starter kit allows you to see and feel the media types via samples we provide. The samples will have images printed in either an art or photo theme. Use the calibration print as a point of reference to bring your monitor closer to print standards. Finally use the $20 gift card when ready to place your first print order.

What makes this kit worth ordering
Every element in the kit is designed to give you accurate, actionable information about FinerWorks print quality — not a sales brochure.
Real Production Samples
Samples are produced daily alongside regular orders using the same presses, inks, and substrates — not marketing mockups.
Monitor Calibration Print
A calibration print is included so you can compare your screen colors to actual output and adjust your display before submitting files.
Multiple Substrates
Canvas, fine art paper, and optional metal prints are all represented, giving a side-by-side comparison of how each medium renders color and detail.
Gift Card Included
Every kit ships with a credit valid for 60 days toward your next print order, so the cost of the kit works toward your first real purchase.
What is included
The core kit covers canvas and paper substrates. Add metal print samples at checkout to round out your evaluation.
Canvas and Art Paper Samples
Printed swatches from the core canvas and fine art paper lineup, showing texture, color depth, and finish differences side by side.
Press Printed Fine Art Cards
Folded card samples printed on the same fine art paper stock used for greeting cards and fine art folded prints.
HD Chromolux Metal Samples
Optional add-on showing the glossy, luminous HD Chromolux metal surface — observe how the substrate enhances vibrancy and tonal contrast.
Dibond Metal Samples
Optional add-on for the matte aluminum composite Dibond surface — a popular choice for contemporary and photographic work.
Why order samples first
Prints that look perfect on screen can disappoint in person — or exceed expectations. Samples close that gap before money is on the line.
See before you commit
Ordering prints online requires trusting that what arrives matches what you see on screen. Physical samples remove that uncertainty by letting you evaluate actual texture, weight, and color accuracy in your own hands and lighting conditions.
Best for: First-time FinerWorks customers, artists switching from another lab, and photographers who need to match prints to existing works already on a wall.
Choose the right substrate
Canvas, fine art paper, and metal prints each have distinct visual and tactile qualities that are impossible to fully judge from a product photo. Holding samples helps you match the medium to the artwork and the room it will hang in.
Best for: Artists exploring which substrate best suits their style, interior designers specifying wall art for client projects, and galleries evaluating new reproduction partners.
