How To Supply Your Files For Print
Bleed
Every image is printed onto a long roll of film before being automatically cut to size within the printer during development. The bleed area is the 3-5mm around every edge that will be subject to trimming or movement during this 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 your own border of less than 10mm to your images before uploading. Please be aware that this is an automatic process so cannot be avoided but submitting your file correctly with any important elements within the safe margin will ensure that no unwanted cropping will occur.
Bespoke Sizes for Large Prints
If you cannot find the ideal size in our list of standard sizing, you are able to order a custom size. Designing a bespoke size print is easy, you simply float your image on a background of the next available larger size that your desired print will fit onto. For example, if you are looking for a 23x14” print, as this is not a standard size that we would offer, you would need to select the 24x16” print option. For our larger format photo prints, we are able to trim (approximately) to your desired size before dispatching your order.
For standard photographic prints, we do not offer any bespoke trimming, but you can still design a custom print to trim down at home once you receive your order if required. All sizes are trimmed to the approximate size and bespoke images will still require bleed when trimmed. Due to the hand finished nature of many of our products, all bespoke sizes will be approximate and cannot be guaranteed to the millimetre. See our video for further instructions & please ensure you place a note on your order when requesting a custom size.
