Print Samples: See Our Paper, Quality & Finishes
Seeing a print in person is the fastest way to know if it's right for your project. Paper weight, finish, color accuracy, and texture all feel different in hand than they look on a screen — and for artists, photographers, and small businesses who care about the final product, that tactile check matters.
At Printkeg, we offer free print samples, showcase our latest work across our social channels, and welcome any request to see specific papers, finishes, or product types before you commit to a larger order.
Request Free Print Samples
We send free paper and product samples to prospective customers who want to evaluate our quality before placing an order. Samples typically include a mix of our most-ordered paper stocks and finishes so you can compare feel, weight, and print quality side by side.
To request samples, contact our team with a brief note about what you're planning to print. If you want samples on a specific paper or product type — giclee, matte, gloss, canvas, poster stock, cardstock — let us know, and we'll tailor the pack accordingly.
You can also order a sample pack directly from our shop if you'd like a specific curated set shipped to you.
What's Included in a Typical Sample Pack
- Fine art and giclee paper samples — matte, satin, and textured options used for reproduction prints
- Poster stock samples — our standard commercial and premium poster papers
- Cardstock samples — weights used for postcards, business cards, and greeting cards
- Finish comparisons — gloss, matte, and satin on the same image so you can see the difference side by side
- Print examples — small representative prints showing real color and detail reproduction
Exact contents vary based on what we have in stock and what you tell us you're planning to print.

Why Ordering Samples Matters
Print is a tactile medium. The same image printed on three different papers can feel like three different products — and the right match depends on how the piece will be used, where it will live, and who the end customer is.
Sample packs help you answer questions that product photos can't:
- How heavy does the paper actually feel?
- Is the matte finish truly matte, or is there still some sheen?
- How accurate is color reproduction against my original file?
- Does the stock hold up to handling, framing, or mailing?
- Will this finish photograph well for my Etsy or portfolio listings?
For most professional projects — gallery shows, wholesale orders, wedding stationery, event signage — the thirty seconds it takes to request a sample saves hours of second-guessing later.
Sharing and Credit
We always ask for permission before sharing any prints we've produced, and we credit the artist on every post and story when possible. Our shop occasionally features our team, our equipment, our workspace, and the CEO's family — we try to have a good time while printing the amazing work that travels through our shop. Full details are available on our privacy policy and user agreement pages.
