Custom posters & art prints
Posters, art prints, canvas, framed prints, metal prints, tapestries. What they cost by quantity, the ways to get them made, what manufacturers need from you, and who makes them.
Commish turns your idea, or a photo of something close, into a spec with request images and a price ladder, then collects quotes from the manufacturers you pick. Free; you pay the manufacturer directly. In ChatGPT, install Commish once, then describe what you want.

Design rules
- Resolution: 150-300 DPI at final size (an 18 x 24 in poster needs at least 2700 x 3600 px), so upscale AI images first.
- Match the aspect ratio to standard sizes (2:3, 3:4, 4:5, A-series).
- Keep text 0.5 in from edges; canvas wraps need about 1.5 in of extra bleed.
What manufacturers need from you
- Format: poster, canvas, framed print, metal print, tapestry
- Size: e.g. 18 x 24 in, A2
- Paper / finish (optional): matte, glossy, archival
- Frame color (optional)
Files
- High-resolution artwork at the final aspect ratio
