Photos & Logos

Please provide good quality, clean copies of pictures or logos and we will scan them. We DO NOT accept Negatives. NOTE: If you want us to scan a PRINTED piece, be aware that the scan will show the ink dots that were used in the printing process and result in a poorer quality image than the original. Try to use original art whenever possible.

Digital Images

Acceptable digital file formats:
- JPG (Maximum Quality - at least 300 dpi at approximately the finished size)
- EPS
- TIFF (300-350 dpi)
- BMP (1200 dpi)
- PDF (Prepress Quality)

NOT Acceptable digital file formats:
- GIF (Not enough colors to look good.)
- MICROSOFT PUBLISHER, WORKS, WORD PERFECT .
- ANY OTHER NATIVE PAINT PROGRAM OR DRAWING PROGRAM THAT CANNOT BE CONVERTED TO A JPG (300 dpi), EPS, TIFF (300 dpi), OR PDF (2400 dpi). We are aware that some printing companies will accept these programs. The reason we don't accept them is simply because the final product does not come out as well as when you don't send the specific files we ask for. Unfortunately these programs don't export the images at a high enough quality to produce a superlative printed postcard. We are only interested in providing the utmost in quality.

Website Images Will Not Work In Hi-rez Printing

They may look okay on your monitor and inkjet printer but they are low resolution and will print poorly on a four color press. Provide us with a high resolution image whenever possible or a good copy and we will scan it for you. The better quality the original image the better quality the finished product.


Stock Photos

We have access to large selections of royalty-free photographs and images which can be purchased at $49 per print. We will do our best to accommodate you with our images. If we can't, and feel that a new Royalty Free photo would do better, we'll let you know.

**IMPORTANT NOTE** Make sure the images you provide are at least 300 dpi or approximately 9MB in size for a 4" x 6" Postcard.

Scans

Scan photos as close to the finished size as possible. Resolution should be 300-350 dpi. Scans at lower resolutions may print fuzzy and scans at higher resolutions may be cumbersome as files are large with no added quality. NOTE: When scanning from a PRINTED piece, the scan will show ink dots that result in a poor quality image. Try to use original art whenever possible.

Digital Cameras

Most low-end digital cameras cannot produce a high enough resolution for four color printing. If you must use one, put the settings at the highest quality setting possible.
