Image Requirements:
You can choose to use the image/photo already on the predesigned card or you can use your own image/photo. Once you place your order and indicate in the box below that you will be using your own image, we will email you a link so you can upload your images for the card.
Digital Imaging:
You may use digitized images from a variety of sources for your custom photo card. Your photos and images can come from a digital camera, scanner, or the Web.
Any image you plan to use must be saved at approximately 300-dpi at 100% output size for the very best printing results. It’s helpful to know that shrinking an image on a product will increase its resolution.
For example, an image captured at 600 x 900 pixels has 150-dpi at 4” x 6”. However, it can be printed at 300-dpi by reducing its dimensions on the product to 2” x 3”.
Images from a Digital Camera
If you wish to use images from a digital camera, before you snap pictures make sure the camera is set at a high enough resolution to result in 300 DPI at the intended photo print size. Most cameras have various settings for resolutions. The highest resolution for your camera depends on how many megapixels it has.
You cannot increase the resolution of a photo after it is taken, except by reducing its printed dimensions (after you upload the image). Be careful when cropping a photo after it is taken. Cropping will reduce the number of pixels in the final image.
(We recommend that you do not resize the images, we will resize the image for you and send you a proof of the document before printing. Some images are cropped by us to fit into the frame.)
Images from a Scanner:
Like a digital camera, a scanner must be preset to the proper resolution before image capture. Many scanners default to 150-dpi (or spi). Set your scanner’s resolution so that it results in 300-dpi at the image’s final print size. If your resulting scanned image is smaller than the recommended size or has less dpi than you need, you should either rescan your original at a higher resolution, or use the image for a smaller printed area.
Images from the Web:
Images found on the web are typically at a resolution of 72-dpi. This resolution is much too low for quality printing. In addition, most images on the web are protected by copyright laws. For these reasons, we do not recommend using images from the web. Please do not use any professional images unless you have permission from the photographer. You must send an email to us after you place the order indicating permission from the photographer to use the image(s) or photo(s).
Shipping and Processing Time:
Proofs are emailed to you within 48 hours for your approval.
Although most orders are completed within 4 business days, please allow 5 to 8 days for your order to get processed and shipped.
Times may vary depending on how many times you need the item edited.
