Photo Guidelines
We can print most images supplied, however there are lots of things you must consider when selecting your image to ensure you get the best possible end result.
IMAGE SIZE
Always try to take photos using the highest quality setting on your camera (or phone) - the more pixels per image you have the better quality the end result will be! e.g. A photo taken on an 8 megapixel camera (at highest quality setting) will produce an image that will be fine to use up to A1 size.

COLOUR
Ideally all photos should be supplied as RGB or CMYK. We will adjust your image at our end should you want black and white or sepia effects. No spot colours please.
