Printer Profile
We recommend for ICC profiles to be embedded in the image file. Adobe RGB (1998) is best suited for artwork while sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is best suited for photography. In the absence of an ICC profile, U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 will be referenced. Although JPEGs can be submitted in CMYK, we highly recommend saving JPEGs in the RGB color space or mode for best results. All files will be assessed in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space. If a JPEG is submitted in another color space, the RGB color profile for the image will be referenced.
Print Resolution
Our system accepts a DPI range of 32-300. For optimal quality, use images with a DPI of 150 or higher.
