It depends on the size you are wanting to print but 300dpi is good for most sizes, if you are unsure about how your file will print at a certain size you can always email us to ask or come in with the file and we can make recommendations.

RGB, sRGB or Adobe RGB is the colour profile needed for printing your files accurately.

JPEGs or TIFFs, PDF’s are also okay, make sure when saving your PDF's remove ‘photoshop editing capabilities’ to reduce your file size. Always flatten your files so they are not caring unnecessary data. Visit our print file & image template page for a quick checklist.

Yes you can. For testing colour we recommend ordering the smallest size print for the paper you want to print on. For testing the quality of an image we suggest ordering a Test Strip, we’ll print 100mm test strip on the paper of your choice. Testing prints will answer a lot of your questions when starting out and allow you to make sure your files are perfect and ready for printing.

We can only print what is in your finished file. If your image doesn’t already have a white border in it you will need to add one to the image yourself. This can be done simply in photoshop or with a little help from a friend.

No we don’t offer scanning, but we can recommend Arts Diary for photography of paintings or Digital Darkroom for scanning of pieces on paper. Once you have your files come see us about printing them.

We recommend using either Dropbox or WeTransfer. When ordering your print online simply copy the url link to your print files and then paste it into the ‘Your Print File URL’ field on the product page. This will save you time and keeps your files secure. If your file is under 10MB you can email it to us, in the ‘Your Print File URL’ field simply type ‘will email’, in your email reference your order number so we know which file to print.

We offer basic free file set up if you need it. Things like cropping, simple retouching (e.g brightening, contrast or saturation) and cropping.
