Standard Prints

Professional print service

Printed exclusively using Fuji Crystal Archive DPII film, our photographic prints are professional quality with crisp detail and brilliant colours. Photographers rely on our combination of ultra-modern laser technology, traditional photochemical development, and our renowned, high-end photo film designed for professional labs.

Standard sizes range from 5x3.5" up to 12x36" and every ratio in between. Order before 1pm Monday to Friday for same day dispatch and next working day delivery as standard.

Print Borders

If you require a border on your standard sized photographic prints, we recommending using the "white border" option at the checkout to ensure consistency and accuracy. This will add a 5mm border around your image however please note due to machine printing tolerances this border is approximate.

With or without a border, your final print size will be exactly the same but image size is slightly reduced to allow for the white border option when selected. Please ensure you leave at least 5mm of bleed on your files when selecting either option to allow for automatic trimming within the machine.

Bleed

Cropping Your Images Correctly

All of our products require bleed, so its important to ensure there is sufficient bleed on all the images you upload. The bleed area is the 3-5mm around every edge that will be subject to trimming or movement during the print and finishing process.

We advise for the bleed area of your image to be excess background and do not advise key features such as heads or feet to be placed too close to the top, bottom or outside edges. This will also include any borders, keylines or text that you may add to your designs. For this reason, we do not advise adding borders less than 10mm wide to images before uploading.

Please be aware that this is an unavoidable part of the print process so its important to upload your files correctly as these cannot be checked or amended before printing.
