Advanced guide to submitting your image

This page is really intended for imaging professionals who need precise guidelines. If you are not a whizz with PhotoShop or if you can't follow these guidelines - do not worry! See our basic instructions for some guidance.

Resolution
We print at 200dpi. A 30x40cm canvas would come out as 2855x3622 pixels. Most of the images we are given are less than that, but PhotoShop does a great job of resizing, and the dye sublimation process and textured material means that you can get an extraordinary print from even a poor quality image.

Gallery Wrap or No wrap
We gallery wrap as standard (unless we can see problems with doing that). If you would like us not to wrap it, that's fine but you must make an explicit instruction when you order. More information on gallery wrap

File formats
TIFs can sometimes be very large, and while fine for CD, sometimes it causes problems with uploading a file over the internet. We find that a JPG saved with maximum quality offers very good compression with an unnoticeable drop in quality.

Exact sizing chart
As carpentry for stretcher bar frames in the UK is traditionally in inches, the cm frame measurements need to be converted. We also take into account other variables when applying the inks to the canvas, amount of shrinkage and stretch in the production process. These factors mean that you cannot buy a 30x40cm frame and supply a 30x40cm image without us having to crop it to a degree. The chart below shows the image size you must submit to get an exact reproduction with no cropping.

Your Order:		You supply or meet aspect ratio (at 200dpi):
		Gallery wrapped		No Wrap
Size Bands x or y axis		2.5cm deep	4.5cm deep
30cm	12"	36cm	40cm	31cm
40cm	16"	46	50	41
50cm	20"	57	61	51.5
60cm	24"	67	71	62
70cm	28"	77	81	72.5
80cm	32"	87.5	91	82.5
90cm	36"	97	101	92.5
100cm	40"	107	112	103
110cm	44"	118	121	112.5
120cm	48"	128	132	122.5
140cm	56"	149	152	143
150cm	60"	158	162	154
200cm	79"	na	213	204

EG you order a 150 x 50 canvas on a 2.5 cm frame. You would like it gallery wrapped.
You should therefore supply an image sized to 158cm x 57 cm at 200dpi.
