Promotional Prints

Superior Quality, Friendly Service
Reasonable Prices

Real photographs!

   Page Updated April 3, 2008

   Real photographs from "Print-Ready" files:

  •  We print real Fuji photographic paper, not toner copies or inked lithographs.
    Toner copies, printed on plain paper, feel cheap.
    Lithographs, printed on presses, have dots in the image.
    Neither has the high-quality feel of real photographs.

  •  Best results come from professionally prepared digital files.
     We'll work what miracles we can from the other stuff!

   FILE GUIDELINES: 

If you're a professional graphic artist, here are your guidelines. Please feel free to call for additional information anytime. If you're an amateur, we welcome you but please do your homework and get knowledgeable guidance before submitting files. File fixes can be time consuming and costly.

  •  Print-Ready means your file is ready to print, "as is". 

  • Scan pictures, logos and artwork at 300 dpi AT FINAL IMAGE SIZE. Lower resolution scans don't work as well.

  •  Proportion pictures and layouts for your chosen print size (5x7 or 8x10). Don't forget to include borders.

  •  Avoid thin rule lines near print edges. Automated print trimming varies by plus or minus 1/32" and thin lines near the edge can appear uneven.

  •  Flatten Photoshop layers and channels.

  •  Convert color to Grayscale for Black & White prints.

  •  When using Quark for page layout, make sure to include all font files.

  •  Save picture files in sRGB, Adobe1998 RGB, ColorMatch RGB, or CMYK(SWOP2) color space.

  •  Save files at 300 dpi at final print size. Resolutions as low as 100 dpi are okay but higher resolutions work better.

  •  TIFF format files are best. Compressed files, like JPEG, should be saved at the highest quality settings.
