YOUR PUZZLE'S QUALITY
We use only the finest printers combined with top of the line "double" weight high gloss photo quality ink jet paper. The print is machine glued to 80 point (1/8") puzzle chipboard. Volume orders from one electronic image are produced from our copy negative on Kodak Professional, Supra Eudora high gloss photo paper.
CROPPING
The phot you send may not be perfectly proportioned to your selected puzzle type. In these cases, we'll professionally crop your photo and notify you if we can't make a high quality puzzle from your print or electronic image.
DIGITAL CAMERA TIPS
Always taken photos at the highest resolution your camera can provide.
More pixels will create sharper photo quality & print reproducing. After a photo is taken you will lose image quality if you try to resize, or make changes in size or content.
The minimum recommended camera resolutions for each puzzle are:
- 8" x 10" puzzles - 1-3 megapixels
- 11" x 14" puzzles - 2-4 megapixels
- 15" x 20" puzzles - 3-5 megapixels
FLATBED SCANNER TIPS
The general standard for high quality print production is that you'll need a final image resolution of 300 DPI. NOTE, many files scanned at or near the puzzle size ordered will print very well in the 200 & up DPI range. Remember as you scan a small print the DPI will drop when the image is enlarged.
For example, scanning a typical 4" x 6" print at 300 DPI would create an 8" x 13" image with only 150 DPI. Scan the image at 600 & you'll have a higher DPI resolution of 300 for the 8" x 12" photo. Some software programs allow you to enter the print resolution & size for your scan.
