Photographic prints or enlargements can be made from the media sources below and include but are not limited to: Floppy Disk, Zip Disk, DVD, CD, Mini CD, Smartmedia Cards, CompactFlash Cards, Memory Sticks, Multimedia Cards (MMC), Secure Digital (SD) Cards and the xD Cards!

We offer two print options - Standard and Enhanced - both in Glossy or Matte finish.

Standard prints: Do not have any size, density or color adjustments made. Your image file is output just as received from your media source.

Enhanced prints: Adjusted for best density output just like a custom print. Some horizontal cropping is available.

We recommend that you always set your digital camera to shoot your images with the highest resolution possible. It's always easier to reduce the resolution to fit your requirements than it is to work the other way around.

We also suggest that sizing, cropping and color adjustments, if desired, be done prior to submission of your images. Most PC's & Mac's come with some photo editing software which can also be used to make general corrections to color and brightness. It is advisable that you make a copy of your original file BEFORE making any corrections, that way you can fall back on the original if a problem arises.

Most digital cameras today can store, depending on file size and media storage, a tremendous number of image files. We can make one print from each file, but we can also print individual images by name. Request for individual files must include the specific file name. Descriptions can not be accepted.

Due to different camera and file formats, image size on the final print are approximate and may include borders.

Caution... We can not be responsible for any damage to customers original media cards or CD's. All files should be backed up to your computer or transferred to CD before sending in for printing.

Photographic Prints & Enlargements can be made from any image .tif or .jpg file. When scanning or creating your own image files set your resolution to follow the general guidelines below to create a file size of about 18 to 20 megabytes. This will give you the best resolution to make up to an 11x14 without becoming pixilated. Contact us if you have any questions.
