Photo Prints Digital Enlargement Guide

How to Scan Your Photos for Digital Enlargements Correctly

• Scan your photos at 300 dpi or close. This is to ensure the best image quality for your prints, since lower resolutions can make your photo enlargements blurry or pixellated.
• Save your images in the CMYK color space. RGB color space is used for viewing images on a monitor. Files submitted in RGB are automatically converted to CMYK, but this would result in different colors on your prints. If you’d like to have more control on your photos’ colors, we recommend that you make the necessary adjustments yourself.
• Submit your digital files in the accepted image formats. Please consult our file format guide for the list of correct file extensions.

Product Options for Your Digital Photo Enlargements

• Photo posters can be printed on semi- to high-gloss HP paper. The sheen on these prints makes your photos’ colors appear more vibrant. Choose from our six standard sizes or specify your own.
• Mounted posters are printed the same as photo posters, except they are also mounted on 3/16″ gator board. Gator board is somewhat similar to illustration board, but sturdier. Though this product offers less options for custom sizing, these mounted prints can save you the effort of framing your posters.
• Canvas prints have a painter’s canvas texture quality, which lends an artistic and sophisticated feel to your photo portraits. You can also get standard and custom sizes with this product, with optional 2-inch borders for framing added for free.
• Wall graphics custom sizing options are as large format as any photo enlargement product can get. They’re also repositionable and reusable, and leave no damage to paint or wallpaper. Its matte adhesive fabric is also UV-protected and fade resistant, like all the other product options.
