What can I do to have my monitor color and output match your monitor color and output?
We use calibrated monitors and custom made printer profiles to insure the most accurate color possible. Our primary high-end monitor is the LaCie 526 which is calibrated using its Blue Eye Pro. Our other monitors are Apple Studio Displays.
To achieve consistent color so that what you see on your monitor is what you get for output (whether printed by yourself or a company such as ours), you need to have a decent quality monitor which is calibrated with calibration software in conjunction with an external measurement device. Also, if you are making your own prints, it is essential that you use custom printer profiles. We recommend using the profiling services of Booksmart Studio.
Suggested basic monitor calibration settings:
Gamma-2.2
6500 K
Luminance-85 CD/m2 -120 CD/m2 (depends on monitor and ambient lighting)
-For an advanced calibration program such as LaCie’s Blue Eye Pro:
Blackpoint 0.0 CD/m2
Chromatic Adaptation (Bradford)
LUT Profile
ICC-4
What color space do you recommend?
We generally use Adobe RGB, but if you wish to work with sRGB (smaller color gamut) or ProPhoto (a color gamut which is larger than what printers can actually reproduce), that is not a problem. We will preserve your files’ working space as it is provided.
How large can you print my image?
The largest size canvas that we print (including white borders for stretching) is 60” x 120”.
The largest size paper prints that we do are generally 44” x 100” although we do offer prints up to 64" x 150" for clients who will commit to an entire roll worth of media. Keep in mind that the largest size that we can dry mount is 48” x 96”.
How should I prepare my image resolution for wide format printing?
Please leave all upscaling and sharpening of your files to us for best results with oversize wide format output.
What can I do to ensure the longevity of my prints?
Your prints are made with archival ink and media, however, you must take some precautions when displaying or storing your prints. First, try to avoid hanging your prints in an area that receives harsh direct natural or artificial light. Direct light is the number one cause of accelerated
print deterioration. Next, try to keep temperature and humidity changes to a minimum.
Extreme heat and humidity will also contribute to quick print deterioration. Lastly, unframed
prints should, if possible, be stored flat rather than rolled and should always be handled with
lint-free cotton gloves to prevent damaging or discoloring the ink and media.
Can I e-mail files to you? Do you have a method for sending large files to you?
If you are working with jpegs that are smaller than 10mb’s, you may send them as individual
e-mail attachment(s). For larger files, please e-mail me for my direct yousendit.com dropbox
link (this is only given to established clients). For orders with a large amount of files,
I recommend providing them on CD or DVD.
