How are Quick Prints and Pro Prints different from each other?

The Quick Prints come in sizes that vary from 2.5”x3.5” up to 12″x36″. Pro Prints, there is a professional file check-up is done, and printing on sizes as big as 64″x120″ is possible.

What’s the difference between Value and Standard Pro Prints?

Mainly turnaround time. Standard Pro Prints takes 3 business days, while Value takes 6 to 10 business days at a lower price. The print quality and paper options are the same either way.

Do you colour-correct my file before printing?

No, Pro Prints is a Direct-to-Print service, which means that we simply print out your file as it was uploaded. Colour correction, touch-ups, and image resizing fall under our Custom Printing services.

Can I print a grayscale image on any paper?

Grayscale file formats are appropriate for pigment inkjet prints, while LightJet (chromogenic) prints need a colour profile and do not accept grayscale files.

What file formats do you accept?

Only JPG or TIFF format, less than 1GB per file, flattened, 8-bit, with colour profile included, and without alpha channels.

Minimum File Requirements
Files should be sized to print with minimum image resolution of 300dpi
– Files should include a border around image if desired
– Files need to be flattened
– Files must have a color profile attached (grayscale is okay for Pigment Inkjet prints)
– Files must be in 8-bit mode and have no alpha channels
– Files must be JPG or TIFF
– Before committing to a large direct to print order we recommend that you print some test files. This will help you to become familiar with the process and judge the quality of your monitor calibration.

ProPrint services do not include testing, color correction, sizing, adding borders, revisions, spotting, retouching, or reprints (unless there is a printing defect). Image files that do not fit our requirements or require additional work (resizing, clean trimming, etc.) will require our Custom Printing service.

Choose the Perfect Print for Your Artwork

Giclée (Pigment Inkjet): Printed using Epson printers and the Ultrachrome pigmented ink system. This is the standard for reproductions of fine art prints, as the inks do not fade and there is a great colour palette.
LightJet (Chromogenic/C-Print): Photographed by means of light and photochemistry, on real photographic paper and not ink. For the real feel of photography, there is no other way but this.
If you’re not sure, we will have our team review every document before printing.

Not sure which paper fits your image? Matte and rag papers tend to suit black-and-white and fine art work. Glossy and lustre hold saturation better for punchy colour images. Give us a call if you want a second opinion before you order.
