Shape
Think about the shape of the stuff you are ordering, especially
if it’s square. By far the most common problem we
have is with the subject matter, being too close to the
edge of the photo. We print the WHOLE panel on your stuff,
NOT a little patch in the middle like some other sites.

Photo
Quality
We can use your traditional photo prints or digital photos.
The general rule to remember is that the better the quality
image we have to print, the sharper your stuff will be.
We have broken this down into 4 categories. These are only
general recommendations; hopefully they will be of use to
you.
- Best quality
- Traditional end prints from film cameras
- Digital Photos from Modern digital cameras on
high quality/fine setting, sent digitally
- Second quality
- Professional Prints from modern digital cameras
- Photos from older digital cameras, bought before
aprox 2003
- Old, faded or worn traditional photographs
- Low quality
- Home printed inkjet prints from a modern photo
printer on photo paper from a modern digital camera
- Phone Pictures taken on most phones bought since
late 2005
- Poor quality
- Webcam Pictures
- Phone pictures taken on phones bought before 2005
- Inkjet prints on Inkjet or plain paper

Really
Big Prints
Even in this day and age the most reliable format is traditional
film based prints that’s we can scan at the highest
resolution for pin sharp results. Digital files aren’t
magic, they have limits to how big they will blow up for
our bigger sizes of canvas!! Most new digital cameras will
take pictures in a high quality mode that will blow up to
our biggest size without becoming unsharp. But do make sure
it is set on the highest quality mode it has. |
Last
Word

picture choice give us a call or email us and we can have
a look for you, and advise you of the best selection for
you. |
