Artwork requirements

  • Send the original image files, not screenshots or images saved from messaging apps, which are compressed.
  • For sharp results, images should be around 300 dpi at the print size; phone photos are usually fine up to A4.
  • Phone photos are often a different shape (4:3) from print sizes, so some cropping may be needed; tell us what must not be cut off.
  • Bright phone screens make images look lighter than they print; ask for a test print if colour matters.
  • Old printed photos can be scanned first, but quality depends on the condition of the original.

Turnaround options

Standard turnaround suits most orders. Express is available when prints are needed for an event. Same-day is possible for standard sizes on stocked photo paper, subject to product eligibility, stock, capacity, quantity, artwork readiness and finishing, with full payment, usable files and approvals before the configured cutoff; the 40% Same-Day Priority Production surcharge applies to the eligible printing and production subtotal. Very large numbers of prints, colour correction or retouching, scanning and restoring old photos, or mounting push a job off same-day.

Pricing

This service is priced by quotation so we can match the exact specification, quantity and finishing. Request a quote. Same-day orders add the 40% Same-Day Priority Production surcharge on the eligible production subtotal.

FAQs

Why does my print look darker than on my phone?
Phone screens are backlit and very bright. Prints reflect light instead, so they often look darker. A test print helps if colour is important.
Can you print photos from WhatsApp?
Yes, but images sent through messaging apps are compressed. Send the original from your phone's gallery for better quality.
Will my photo be cropped?
If the image shape does not match the print size, some cropping or white borders are needed. Tell us which you prefer.
Can you fix old or damaged photos?
Scanning and restoration are separate services that take extra time, so they are not usually same-day.
