Preparing Your Images

To make everything run smoothly with both your workflow and ours, we have compiled some basic instructions on preparing your images for our Lab. To prepare images you need to do the following:

1. Size the image to required print size (eg 8x10 inches) and set the image resolution (dpi/ppi) between 200 and 400ppi(300ppi is ideal).
2. Supply all files as JPEG (at maximum quality) or 8 bit TIFF files, with no tiff compression.; we prefer jpegs);
3. Make sure all your images are saved as an sRGB colour profile (you may sRGBIEC61966-2.1.  AdobeRGB & ProRGB will give dark, flat results
4. Place all images into folders with the print sizes forming part of the folder name. Eg folder name: "6x8_Lustre_1off each". Where multiple copies of an image are required at the same size, create a new folder with a name to reflect the quantity of prints required, eg "6x8_lustre_3off each
