GETTING YOUR IMAGES OR PHOTOS TO ME TO PRINT FOR
YOU
E-MAIL YOUR FILE
1) Be sure your photo, scan, or art is exactly as you want it to be. This means all edges as well. What I see is what I will print, as true to color as possible.* 2) Check the resolution of the file. To send e-mail, it usually should be 72 ppi, although I can receive higher resolutions if your server can send them. 3) Check the image size in inches. It is fine - preferable actually - to send a full size image (i.e. 16" x 20") That way the quality will remain without having to scale it up. If you do send full size, keep the resolution at 72 ppi. If you are having a larger print made, a quarter size or half size will work just fine at 120 ppi (pixels per inch - same meaning as dpi or dots per inch) 4) Save as a JPG format, the highest quality. It is okay if the file is a few MG in size. As long as your internet service lets you send the file - I can receive it. For more than one large file, sent one at a time and all is well. *As you know, all monitors are not created equal. Therefore the color calibration on yours may differ from mine, and what I see may NOT what you see. As well, PC and MAC can look a bit different in color. If you require absolute color match, send a color correct small print along with the file on a CD. Keep in mind that a high gloss print on paper and the soft silk fabric will not be identical in color depth, but I will do my best to make it pleasing for you. Note also that special requests may require special pricing over and above the print-as-is prices on the price list. I can correct 'boo-boos' on a photo (red eye, or blemish, or a perspective distortion from photographing a painting) or color correct, for a tad more $$. Call or email me if this is your need. Love to help you achieve a wonderful print!! |

YOUR FILES on a CD
You can burn your images to a CD and send through the 'snail mail'. It will take a little longer for me to get it, but that is also a good way to get me your images. This method would be fine if you have very large files, or if you want a higher resolution, like 360 ppi. Feel free to send TIFF or PSD. (Photographers, please convert any RAW images first to insure your preferences in the conversion process). Also, don't send EPS files that I will have to convert to print. This can result in off-color. Usually a PDF file is okay, but you can't go wrong with a high JPG. |

If you don't have a clue what I just said - not to worry. Just send your JPGs and all is well.
