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 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 or ask us for help to do so. We have downloadable templates with borders.
