Your file, reviewed before it's printed

Every photograph is reviewed before it goes to print. Our Premium Corrected Service is included in the price: we check your file and may contact you with adjustments or recommendations before printing. Upload a JPEG, PNG, TIFF or HEIC file of up to 500 MB; we recommend 300 DPI at the size you print. How to prepare your file for print.

Ilford papers, printed in-house

We print on Epson large-format printers, on nine Ilford fine art papers: smooth and textured cotton rag, a baryta-style fibre paper, two pearl papers, a metallic gloss photo paper and a fine art canvas. Every paper costs the same at each size. Compare the papers.

From 8×10" to A0, and panoramas up to 4 metres

Standard sizes run from 8×10" and A4 up to A0 and 30×40". A custom size can be up to 1118 mm on its short edge and 4 metres long; the designer prices it as you enter the size, and shows the resolution your file will print at once your photograph shows in the preview.
