At The Stackhouse, we’re dedicated to providing top-quality custom prints for artists, photographers, and creatives. Our rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) process ensures that every print we produce meets the highest standards of clarity, color accuracy, and craftsmanship. From the moment your order enters our workflow to its final packaging, each step is carefully monitored to deliver flawless prints you’ll be proud to display or gift.
Our Quality Assurance Process
Our QA process involves multiple stages, each designed to maintain exceptional quality and consistency:
File Preparation and Review
We start by reviewing your digital files to ensure they’re print-ready. This includes checking resolution, color profiles, and file format compatibility. If there are any concerns with your files, we’ll reach out to help you make the necessary adjustments.
Print Inspection
Every print goes through an initial inspection right off the printer. Our team checks for any issues in color accuracy, clarity, and sharpness, comparing the output to your original file to ensure fidelity and vibrancy.
Trimming and Finishing
Once inspected, each print is trimmed with precision tools to ensure clean, perfect edges. For mounted prints or canvases, additional steps like stretching or mounting are carried out with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring durability and professional presentation.
Packaging with Care
After final approval, each print is carefully packaged to protect it during transit. From padded envelopes to reinforced boxes, our packaging is designed to prevent any damage during shipping, so your prints arrive in pristine condition.
Final Quality Check
Before sealing each package, we perform a final quality check to verify all order details and specifications. Our goal is zero errors, and this final step is essential to meeting that standard.

We understand that your prints are an important representation of your creative work. That’s why we back every order with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you receive a print that doesn’t meet your expectations due to quality issues, we’ll make it right. Whether it’s a reprint, a refund, or additional support, we are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction.
