Matt
The paper is coated with a fine stippled finish and gives
a very natural photographic result with subtle colour. A more
subdued and easier handled paper, more tolerant to finger
prints. Ideal for wedding, portait and exhibition prints.
Gloss
A smooth and glossy paper, which accentuates the colour to
give a punchy, rich feel. Ideal for high impact images.
|
|
A
visually striking paper with a rich metallic base. The colours
have a reflective, metallic and 3-dimensional look to them.
|
|
A
durable polyester based print material, with a similar look
and feel to Cibachrome prints. With a warm base colour and
an ultra high gloss finish, giving vividly rich colours.
|
|
An
archival photographic print is wrap-mounted around a solid
MDF panel and laminated with your choice of laminate to
create a display block.

| Important
Information - Please read... |
| The
following information is relevant to the Express, Metallic & Fujiflex
software. |
| |
File
Types / Upload Time
Our software will accept JPG, TIF, PNG or ZIP files. Unlike our
previous application, your images are now transferred without any
compression. Colour profiles are maintained, which is crucial for
accurate colour matching and vibrant prints. Therefor a typical 4Mb
physical file will take approx 2 minutes to upload (depending on your
internet connection). We strongly recommend against submitting
TIF files as these are large and will take a much longer time
to upload. We would advise re-saving TIF files as JPG's at the highest
quality. |
| |
Global
preferences
If
you upload five or more images and click "Advanced
View", you can configure the details for your whole order.
This is useful if you require prints of the same size, paper surface
etc. |
| |
Selecting
a print size
Images
come in many different sizes and formats. Ideally
a print size should be chosen that matches the format of the image
(to avoid cropping).
Our software will indicate (in bold) which print sizes best
fit the format of your image. Choosing a print size not listed in
bold will incur cropping or borders - see Cropping below... |
| |
Cropping
There
are two distinct ways we can deal with the format / cropping of your
images before printing - "Fit
In" and "Fill
Out " (default).
It is important that you click the small thumbnail preview image (to
display a larger preview) so that you can see how the image will crop
when printed to the chosen print size. If the image is cropped too
much, try selecting the "Fit in" option. This will result
in white borders on two sides of the print, but the full image will
be visible.. |
| |
|
Colour
The default setting within the software is Auto
Correction. Auto correction is an advanced filter that examines
your images individually and corrects them if necessary, for poor
lighting, contrast, and colour. Auto
Correction with sharpening will apply sharpening to
your image before printing. Do not use this option if you have already
sharpened your images.
|
| Do
Not Optimise - Only use if you have calibrated your monitor to
our printing system. Images are printed without correction. The preview
image will not change |
|
Lab
Optimisation - Your image is assessed and corrected, if necessary,
by our skilled technicians. The preview image will not change.
|
| Black
and White / Sepia Tone - Your image is converted to gray scale
and a black & white / sepia tone contrast curve is applied. |
| |
Ordering
non-standard print sizes
If you require a print size that isn't listed within the software,
please select the nearest size possible (ignore the cropping display)
and within the special
instructions field (on the order confirmation screen) state the
print size you require. Please note - although the special instructions
field may appear restrictive, it does allow you to input detailed
instructions of up to 700 characters. |
| |
Ordering
Photographic Products / Mounted Prints
If you require a photographic product or a finished product, please
select the size required from the drop-down list and within the special
instructions field state the filename / size / product / finish
that you require. We will amend the order and charge an extra payment,
once received. |
| |
Multi-part
Ordering
If you require a mix of different paper surfaces / print sizes or
you have a large number of images, that you'd like to upload in batches,
rather than in one upload. Launch the software by clicking on the
icon above, upload and select the options for your images. At the
delivery options screen, select "Multi-part
order" and complete. Repeat this process as necessary. At
the delivery options screen for the final part of your order, select
the delivery options for the whole order. We will then combine your
multi-part order and dispatch together. |
