Photo Quality/Size

Please note - we cannot reproduce any image/photo for which you do not have permission from the copyright holder.  If you have taken the original photo yourself, or have created the design yourself, then the copyright is typically held by you.  If you have obtained the photo or design from elsewhere (such as the internet or a magazine), you need written permission to reproduce the photo/design from the copyright holder.  In some instances we may ask you to provide this written permission, or to confirm that you hold the copyright for the design/photo, before we start work on your order.

Print Quality

The quality of the reproduction of your supplied photograph/image depends enormously on the quality of the supplied photograph/image.

For optimal quality of reproduction, your photograph/image should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch). Sometimes it is possible to produce an acceptable reproduction from a photograph/image that is supplied as low as 100dpi, but the lower the dpi, the lower the quality is likely to be.

These dimensions are for guidance only.

The larger the photo is at the optimal dpi, the better quality of the reproduction will be. Usually, very little improvement is noticeable over 300dpi.

The closer your photo size/dpi is to the minimal dpi, the lower quality the reproduction will be. At around 100dpi, the image starts to look blotchy or has jagged edges. We can compensate for this to a small degree but we would prefer to use larger photos and/or photos of a higher dpi wherever possible.

If you're unsure, contact us first. We will always endeavour to use the photo/image you supply with your order. In rare circumstances, where we deem the size/quality of the photo will result in a poor reproduction, we will request that you send a better quality photo/image prior to beginning work on your order. This may result in a delay to your order, so please try and send the best quality photo/image you can.

We can accept photos/designs in a variety of formats, such as PNG for designs with transparent areas or layers or JPG (100% quality where possible).
