For example if you want a 17 x 22 inch print, your image should be in the range of 5000 x 6600 pixels.  We can accept most image types but prefer TIFF, PSD or other loss less file types.  If your original image file is smaller than your requested print size, please do not perform the interpolation before sending to us.  We have software that will perform the re-size interpolation with little to no image degradation/pixelation providing the resizing is within 800% of the original.  There is no charge for this service.

We do accept images that are smaller than the final output size, but you need to be aware than the print will be of a lesser quality than if you adhere to the guidelines above.   

No additional color correction will be performed on the image(s).  Color profiling to printer and paper will be matched based on embedded color profile.  (i.e. They will be printed as is.)  If you are assigning a color profile with the image please use Adobe RGB (1998).  Do not use sRGB as it has a smaller color gamut.

The following guide can aid in showing you what size of print and quality you can expect from your digital camera image.  Quality of image (i.e. focus, image blur, jpg artifacts) will also affect printed output

Final print note:

It is important to note that in certain instances the print we create for you may not match the colors that you see in your image on your monitor.  If you have not calibrated your monitor the colors you see in your photo may differ than what gets printed.  Calibrating your monitor and following the steps in the checklist will help in allowing you to visualize what your final print colors will look like.  You also need to be aware that some colors may fall outside of the gamut the printer, inks and media can produce.  If we see that the image you submitted has significant color gamut issues we will contact you to discuss.  We may suggest that you order a proof to so that you can preview and approve the print before making your final order.
