How long does it take for my print to be approved?
Prints are available for purchase immediately after submission after it has been processed by our system.
Prints submitted using the Premium Subscription Print Account should be approved or rejected within 24 hours on weekdays and non-holidays. Prints submitted using the Standard Prints Service will not be reviewed by Quality Control until a purchase attempt has been made or upgrading to a Premium Subscription Print Account. If the image should fail inspection, the buyer will be notified and the order canceled.
