High Chroma Art Prints & Graphics
Poster, Art & Cards
Bring vivid digital artwork to cardstock with Uproar’s High Chroma printing. Our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C84HC uses specially formulated CMY toners to reproduce colors beyond the range of conventional CMYK production printing, including vivid pinks, purples, greens and light blues.
Made for artists and creative businesses
Choose papers for posters, postcards, bookmarks, cards, menus and promotional graphics. Our team combines color management with firsthand experience creating and selling artwork, then reviews the finished prints for consistency and quality.
High Chroma at our Oakland studio
Installed at Uproar in April 2026, the C84HC delivers up to 3,600 × 2,400 dpi equivalent output. We use genuine Konica Minolta toner and carefully selected papers to support the press’s expanded color capabilities.
Custom paper and commercial projects
For customer-supplied paper, choose stock designed for laser-toner printing and under 315 gsm. Contact us before bringing it in so we can confirm compatibility. We can also source suitable paper, with a minimum custom purchase of one ream. Allow extra sheets for testing, calibration and production contingencies.
For a smaller selection of popular papers and sizes, see Affordable Art Prints for Artist Alley.
File formats
Preferred formats are TIFF and original Photoshop PSD/PSB or Illustrator AI files. High-quality JPEG, JPEG 2000 and PNG files are also accepted where appropriate. JPEG uses lossy compression, so retain the original file whenever possible.
Color profiles
Use Adobe RGB (1998) for RGB artwork or PrintWide2020 for CMYK artwork. Embed the profile when saving or exporting. Download the working color profiles or request them from our studio.
To preserve the current appearance as closely as possible when changing profiles, use Convert to Profile. Assigning a profile keeps the color values but changes how they are interpreted, so the appearance may change. For untagged artwork, or if you are unsure which profile belongs to the file, contact us before assigning one.
Color references and proofs
Use a calibrated display and suitable lighting when reviewing color. Paper, surface finish and viewing conditions affect the printed result. We accept mailed physical references for some projects; contact us first to discuss matching requirements. A test print is recommended before a larger run.
Resolution and final size
Prepare raster artwork at 300–600 PPI at the final printed size, with a minimum of 300 PPI. Keep the original image data. Vector artwork is not limited by raster resolution, but embedded raster images still need sufficient resolution. Contact us if a large image needs upscaling; suitability varies and artifacts may appear.
Bleed and trimming
For most borderless art prints, choose ⅛ inch (0.125 inch) of bleed per side, or the ¹⁄₁₆-inch (0.0625-inch) fine-trimming option when you prefer less trimming. Extend the artwork beyond the finished edge and use the corresponding template. For an 8 × 10-inch finished print, the artwork size is 8.25 × 10.25 inches with ⅛-inch bleed, or 8.125 × 10.125 inches with ¹⁄₁₆-inch bleed. Do not add bleed to bordered prints unless the selected template requires it.
Using templates
Use the template for your exact product, size and finishing option. Place a positioning guide at 100% scale, or open the template and place your artwork into it. Ask us for a guide if your size is not listed.
Templates and examples
Choose the file for your product and final size. Use 300 PPI templates for standard preparation or 600 PPI templates when your source artwork supports the higher resolution. Keep the template dimensions and color profile intact while positioning your artwork.

Find a suitable paper
If you are moving a project from another printer, send us the paper name, weight, finish and a sample if available. We will help identify a suitable Uproar option. Papers from different suppliers may vary in texture, tone, thickness and print appearance.
- Smooth and coated cards: compare silk and semi-gloss finishes.
- Textured cards: consider linen or watercolor-style surfaces.
- Heavier stocks: compare the listed caliper and weight for the desired feel.
- Acid-free options: review the specific paper’s permanence and surface characteristics.
Stock samples
Available stock samples are free; shipping is charged separately. Contact us for availability and shipping options. Outlying U.S. destinations may incur additional charges.
Custom test prints
Custom test prints are produced to order. Contact us for pricing and the appropriate size. To evaluate overall color economically, print at 25% of the original width and height—for example, a 24 × 36-inch design becomes 6 × 9 inches. To examine critical details, combine selected areas at their intended print scale on one test-wedge sheet.
Plan your schedule
Allow time for file review, test printing, adjustments, production and shipping. Ask us for a project-specific estimate, especially before convention season. Production begins after full payment and your approval of the final print-ready files. Contact us before placing a rush order; rush services are quoted and paid separately.
Display and selling guidance
Use High Chroma Art Print, Poster or Postcard to describe the product accurately. Paper texture, size and finishing help customers understand the difference between options. Double-sided printing and custom cuts can expand your design choices; contact us to plan the layout.
Display representative samples and describe the actual paper and finish. Avoid promising a particular resale result; choose retail prices that suit your work, audience and costs.

FAQ: High Chroma Art Prints & Graphics
-
What makes High Chroma printing different?
Specially formulated CMY toners support a wider range of vivid colors than conventional CMYK production printing. Paper selection and careful color management help make use of those capabilities.
-
What is a master sheet?
We produce prints on 13 × 19-inch master sheets. Multiple smaller artworks can share a sheet to use the available area efficiently.
-
Which bleed options are available?
For borderless art prints, standard bleed is ⅛ inch per side. A ¹⁄₁₆-inch fine-trimming option is available when you prefer less trimming. Use the template that matches your selection.
-
Can you help me choose an alternative paper?
Yes. See Paper Selection & Alternatives, or send us the name, weight and finish of your current paper. We can help compare suitable options without assuming papers from different suppliers are identical.
-
How long does production take?
Standard High Chroma production typically takes 3–5 business days, depending on the queue and project. Production begins after full payment and approval of print-ready files. File preparation, proofing and shipping require additional time.
-
Can I place a rush order?
Contact us before ordering if you need expedited production or shipping. We will confirm availability and quote any additional charges. Reach out early when starting a project from scratch or preparing for convention season.
-
Why might my print differ from a previous printer’s output?
Printers, inks, papers and color workflows have different capabilities. Use your tagged digital original and a calibrated display as the starting point. If matching a previous physical print is important, contact us before production; mailed references are accepted for some projects.
-
Are paper samples available?
Available stock samples are free, with shipping charged separately. Contact us to check availability.
-
Can I order test prints?
Yes. You can compare artwork across several master sheets or paper options. We often recommend three sheets for a useful comparison; contact us for test-print pricing.
-
Can I submit RGB or CMYK artwork?
Yes. Use Adobe RGB (1998) for RGB images or PrintWide2020 for CMYK images, with the profile embedded. Contact us before changing an unknown or untagged profile.
-
Where are prints produced?
Printed in-house at Uproar’s Oakland, California studio, with direct support from the team preparing your order.
