Tips for Ordering
Thank you for your interest in purchasing a John L. Baker print!
All paintings offered on this website are reproductions of John L. Baker original paintings. The works offered through this website are exclusive to www.johnlbakerart.com and are not available for purchase on any other sites. The printing is done through Artspan using premium archival inks and substrates. These inks and substrates create a print that is as close as it can be to the original painting, giving you an incredible work of art that you will enjoy for years to come!
Canvas Prints (our #1 pick!)
Prints done on canvas give you the traditional look of a real original painting. These prints are not put behind glass and are sprayed with a protective coating for easy cleaning and to avoid fading.
Border Options: This is where you will select what you'd like your border to look like. No matter what style you choose beyond this step, you must select what style border you want for a canvas print. You can choose from the following border options:
Image Wrap: the image continues around the sides of the print.
Mirror Wrap: the image continues around the sides of the print but in a mirrored fashion
Solid Border Wrap: choose from white or black as the sides of your image
**Please note that you can only choose one of the following options for each print! You can either get your prints Stretched, Rolled or Framed.
Stretched Canvas: This is where you will choose if you'd like your canvas stretched onto a hidden wood frame or not. You can select "None" if you'd prefer to receive your canvas rolled. If you choose to have your image stretched, we recommend the 1.25" thickness, but the choice is yours!
Rolled Canvas: This is what you would choose if you are wanting to stretch/frame the print yourself. The painting will be printed onto the canvas, and then safely shipped to you. Most who choose this option would then go to local frame shop to have their print mounted as they wish.
Framed Canvas: This option is what you should choose if you are wanting a decorative frame for your print. Frames can really bring a print to life and also tie the painting into the décor of your home. The image will be stretched and then mounted into the decorative frame of your choosing.

Paper Prints
If canvas is just not your style, there are several options for paper prints as well. Our top recommended paper type is “Premium Archival Smooth Matte”. When choosing a paper print, you have the option of adding a frame, mat and glass. If you choose not to add these options, the image will be printed on your selected paper, and safely shipped to you. Most who choose this option would then go to a local framing shop to have their print framed. We strongly recommend that any paper prints get mounted in a frame and put behind glass to preserve them for years to come.
