Large Format Printing

This will depend on a few things, as each type has trade-offs to keep in mind. Things to consider include: where you'll display it, how it will be displayed, how far away viewers will be from the display, and the image itself (the tones, contrast, and colours).

Our semi-gloss paper produces great colour vibrancy and contrast, but the sheen may reflect undesirably in areas of strong ambient light. On the other hand, the matte paper can produce a somewhat less vibrant and 'flatter' appearance, but will typically look clearer and better in large glass-framed prints and in areas of harsh light.

Our team are happy to help advise you if you are unsure!

For optimal quality, have the print file prepared as a high-quality JPG, PNG, PSD, PDF, or TIF file set to your desired dimensions at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. It is your responsibility to ensure that the files you provide are fit for purpose (such as adequate readibility of text, resolution, correct dimensions).

Prints, particularly our semi-gloss prints, are delicate and require special care when handling. We suggest using cotton or powder-free nitrile gloves when handling prints and laying the prints on a flat surface to avoid fingerprints or dents. We are happy to frame prints for you!

Please note that all screens are calibrated differently with regards to colours, contrast, tonal depth, and other factors. Furthermore, screens display colour in the RGB colour mode (red, green, blue), whereas printers use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). Converting between these colour modes can cause changes to the visual appearance of an image. Finally, paper grades can also influence the result. We suggest that if this a concern for you, consider getting test strips of your prints done before undertaking the final print - we can do this for you, subject to a fee.

Turnaround is subject to the quantity and size of your prints, as well as other print jobs in the queue at the time of ordering. We aim to complete most standard print jobs within approx. 1-2 business days. Contact us if you have a deadline for your print job or if you have a large quantity, so we can advise you of the timeframe.
