PHOTO ESSENTIALS

A good guideline for sending photos is to send the photo in its original form as the digital camera created it. If it is necessary to supply us with a hard copy of your photo, be sure it is a high quality color photograph on quality photo paper (the hard copy will be returned as soon as possible).

In addition, the photo should be as close to the output size as possible. For instance if the photo is for a sign panel and the area of the sign panel you are ordering is 5” x 7” then you should supply us with photo of similar size.

If you ae submitting a photo for use on business cards the dots or pixels per inch should be a minimum of 300. 600 dpi is preferred.

Here are a couple of common Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to photos:

DO's
