Multiple print sizes can be made from the single image file. Please do not submit the same image as multiple files with different crops such as an 8×10, 4×6 and 5×7.
When a custom print size is required, grow the canvas of the image to a standard print size. (Example 5.5″x7.5″ image on an 8×10 canvas area).

We can provide you with an output viewing profile to soft proof images on your computer. Please contact us for more information about optimum color match conditions.
