If you love music or you have a love of nostalgic retro music cassette tapes, this unframed print is just for you, or as a unique gift for any music lover. Each cassette design has been carefully created by myself in Adobe Illustrator with colour, branding and style influenced by real-world cassettes from the 1980s.

HOW TO ORDER
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Choose between Printed Poster or Digital Download - each will have certain sizes available.
2. Select the dimension of the print that you would like to receive, either digitally as a print-ready file, or physically as a printed poster.
3. In the 'Personalisation' box please state each cassette LETTER, the cassette-style NUMBER (from the many different styles shown in the last image of this listing) and the label that will be written on the label. If you wish to have each label personalised you can supply the song/album title, band name, or both for the cassette's label in the personalisation entry box. For example: A1 - "Prince - Purple Rain" Where A is the location, 1 is the cassette style and then the artist and song title.
IMPORTANT: When providing song titles, please make sure the label isn't too long, as it will likely overrun the label width and the font will be forced to become smaller in size and will become less legible on the print.
If you do not require a label title, just state your cassette styles and mention 'no titles' in the customise box.
If you have any other requests, please message me and I will see if it's possible.
4. Select from Standard (untracked) or Tracked shipping options.
5. Proceed to checkout to make your payment.
6. Wait for my message with your print / download preview attachment.
UNFRAMED PRINTED POSTER
--------------------------------------------------------------
This unframed artwork will be printed on high-quality glossy photo paper using high-quality inks that make the print bright and vibrant and it will certainly enhance any room that this print is hung in.
I ship once a week (every Wednesday) so if time is critical please submit your order early so that I can send over mockups and receive approvals from you before ship day comes around, otherwise it will slip into the following week. Thank you!
If you select 'Standard Shipping', you or I will not be able to track your parcel once it has been dispatched. Please select Tracked (or International Tracked for overseas orders) to upgrade your shipping to a trackable service and give you peace of mind knowing how where your order is.
Small prints will arrive in a hard-backed flat 'do not bend' envelope. All orders over 23x23cm, 30x30cm and A3 will come rolled up and posted in a triangle tube. If the print itself arrives damaged in any way, please take photos of the damaged print, along with its packaging, and message me with them attached to the message.
Please note that the colours of the final print may be slightly different from what you see on your mobile or monitor screen. Apart from the pre-created styles available and shown in the final image, colours and their design cannot be altered.
This custom illustration music artwork is provided in multiple sizes with cassette tapes carefully positioned in a grid. Please see my other listings for designs featuring 1 to 10 cassettes.
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS & TIPS
--------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have approved the print preview I will supply you with the final download files for you to print yourself.
Supplied files are flattened rasterised files ready for print. The two files sent will be a JPG file for web use, and TIFF file for print use. They will not be editable, so please select the right poster size so that you receive the artwork pre-fitted to suit the final print output size, be it A1 through to A5.
The final artwork will be determined by the quality of the printer and either the paper or card stock that you choose. Please keep in mind that colours on your monitor may vary slightly from how they appear in person or how they display on a viewing device to another. This is due to the colour calibration of your device or monitor.
For the most visually stunning final results, I recommend that you print on glossy photo paper and that you use the default profile (or RGB colour profile) on your printer or software for the best pop of colour for this print.
If printing from Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, let the program determine the colour handling and have your Printer Profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 or ROMM-RGB, and Render Intent set to Relative Colorimetric.
Using border or borderless printing might also give you different size results, so play with this setting also. If you are unsure what this means, leave the printer at its default setting.
If you have an option to select the Media Type, choose what is the best match for the paper you are using to print on. High Gloss Paper setting with glossy photo paper works well for me, with a Quality set to Best or its highest setting.
You can print this design at home, take the file to a local print shop, or use it to send to an online service such as the following:
- Vista Print
- Shutterfly
- Snapfish
There are many more online but these are the most common services online that print. You can also visit my online store for physical prints that I print and send out myself.
I am not responsible for the printing of your item. Please bear in mind that you are paying for my time to customise your print. I can try and suggest ideas to help you if you have any problems printing, however, it is the buyer's responsibility to secure his/her own prints.
PRINT / DOWNLOAD PREVIEW
--------------------------------------------------------------
For all custom orders, I will send a digital preview of the artwork before I finally process your print / download.
Once you have confirmed the preview I will then likely print a day before my regular scheduled posting date (see below). If you have not confirmed the preview image I first send you by this time I will go ahead and print and ship your order. So please check your spam email inbox or message on Etsy.
Please also check the spelling of bands or any label titles you give me. There will be no refunds for any errors made by supplying incorrect or miss-spelt label titles.
REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES
--------------------------------------------------------------
Every digital download purchase is non-refundable, as there is no way for me to tell whether you have printed the design. If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime. Due to printed orders being custom made, I do not accept refunds or exchanges from physical prints.
