A high-level process cannot save a low-resolution photo - it will render the softness more faithfully. Resolution of your files and resolution of our press are separate problems; the builder handles the first, this page is about the second.
01 — Colour
Skin tones are the whole test
Kuma idan ka yi amfani da wani abu daga wannan, to, lalle ne, zã ka ga cewa shi, haƙĩƙa, mai girma ne. Kuma idan ka yi amfani da wani abu daga wannan, to, haƙĩƙa, ka kasance daga mãsu ɓarna.
- Colour calibration is done by our production partners on their own presses. We do not run the presses ourselves, so we do not claim a calibration schedule we cannot show you.
- Your photos go into the print file as you uploaded them, resampled to 300 ppi for the size they print at. We do not add filters or brighten them.
- An yi wannan gwajin ne da takarda a hannunka: kayan gwajin yana da takardar da aka buga daga kowace takarda.
02 — Resolution
Ba za mu buga hoton da ba zai iya tsira daga girman ba
A 640-pixel screensaver looks fine on a phone and terrible across a 12-inch spread. Every upload is measured against the trim size you chose, at the size it will actually be placed.
300+ DPI
Quality of the press. Fine detail, clean edges, no visible softening at any size the photo is placed.
100 to 180 DPI
Usable small, soft large. The builder marks it and suggests a smaller cell — your call, made with the facts in front of you.
<100 DPI
