Activating Floating Acrylic Prints

To make your experience easier, some designs will be automatically enabled on your behalf. If you have metal prints enabled, we’ve automatically applied those designs to acrylic prints due to their similar aspect ratios and product details. Visit your Artist Studio to review or adjust design placements and to enable any additional artwork that you want to offer on this product.

Reminder: We launch new products to artists before making them available to customers in order to allow for merchandising and time for artists to update their shops. At first, acrylic prints will not be included in the “Wall Art” dropdown in the main navigation on our site. Once it launches to customers, you’ll be able to find it there.

Activating acrylic prints is easier than ever, especially if you already have metal prints enabled. If you have artwork enabled on metal prints, those designs will be automatically enabled on our all-new acrylic prints. To review or adjust the positioning of the creative on acrylic prints, visit your Artist Studio and click on “My Products.” Then, click on “Floating Acrylic Prints” under “New Products” at the top of the page. Any creatives that have been automatically enabled will be under “Enabled.” To adjust the positioning of any enabled product, hover your mouse over the thumbnail and click on “Edit.”

If you have assets that fit the requirements for acrylic prints but weren’t automatically enabled, they will appear under “Disabled.” To view and enable those creatives, navigate to the “My Products” section of your Artist Studio and select “Floating Acrylic Prints” under “New Products.” If the previews look good, you can “Select All” and then click “Enable” to activate all of the designs that meet the asset requirements at once. For the best quality products, be sure to carefully review the positioning of the creative on acrylic prints prior to activating.

Any creatives that are missing assets that meet the floating acrylic print requirements will appear under “Incomplete.” You can quickly upload a new asset by hovering over the design and clicking “Upload.”

Special Considerations for Editing Floating Acrylic Prints

The orientation of your uploaded asset will determine the orientation of the product. In other words, uploading a vertical asset will result in a vertically-oriented product and uploading a horizontal asset will result in a horizontally-oriented product. While editing, select “Generate Previews” to double check your work and view the placement of the final product.

Floating acrylic prints will default to a 10% markup but you can adjust your markup at any time. To change your markup on all acrylic prints, navigate to your Artist Studio and click on the “My Artwork” section. Then, click on “Set Store Markups” in the upper right corner. A pop up will then appear where you can adjust the markups on all markup-able products, including floating acrylic prints.

If you would like to adjust the markup on a specific artwork, navigate to the “My Artwork” section of your Artist Studio and click on the artwork you’d like to adjust. Scroll down and select “Set artwork markup,” which is located on the left hand side.  A pop up will appear that allows you to adjust all markup-able products for the artwork you’ve selected.
