Lab Information

All Prints are Silver Halide "real photos". We print from digital files only and files are printed "file to print" meaning that we do not alter your file.

Prints up to 12” wide are printed on our Fuji 570 Frontier. This is a state of the art laser printer outputting what you would describe as "best possible".

Standard paper used is Lustre, Gloss is available in 10" paper sizes. Sizes shown are in inches.

Files you send us should be properly prepared to the size and aspect ratio required with any border or text content included. Please allow several mm margins from edges of any text, lines or graphics.

Resize Options

Lab default is Fit In. This means that your file will not be cropped and will be sized proportionally up or down to fit the paper area chosen. If you file is not the same shape as the paper size chosen there will be a white border on two sides.

Fit In:- Will print your file INTO the paper size chosen. All of file will be within the paper size. If file shape and paper shape are not the same then white borders will result.

Fill In:- Will print your file ONTO the paper size chosen. If file shape is not the same as paper size chosen the file is sized up or down so there is no unprinted paper showing. This means that your file will be cropped. If you have people close to an edge or heads near the top they may well be cropped out.

No Resize:- Check you file size in Photoshop for instance. It may be something like 18in x 12in. If you select this to be printed as a 6x4in print “no resize” then only the 6x4in portion of that entire file will be printed. This instruction can be used if you are compiling the file which may have borders or effects and you know to make the finished file the size of the print required (at 300dpi).
