Handling & Ordering TipsCroppingPlease keep in mind that your cropping instructions must be kept in proportion. You cannot change one (1) dimension (length) without proportionally affecting the width. Use straight lines to indicate exact cropping. Use wavy lines to indicate approximate cropping. By requesting full-negative, you are indicating no cropping. Requesting full-paper, you are indicating cropping as necessary to fill the paper. Cropping should be indicated on the glassine or proof sheet, never on the negative or transparency. More... Ordering Specifications Accurate and exacting instructions are critical to ensure the best possible image. When submitting film for processing do not mix different sizes and types of film in the same box. "Open in Dark" should be marked on the outside of all sheet film boxes. The type and quantity of film enclosed should also be indicated. Please indicate the service(s) required, quantity and size of prints or transparencies from each original. Please indicate the number and size(s) of original transparencies or negatives supplied along with detailed instructions. We will assume to print right reading unless you indicate to flop. Positioning, burning, dodging or any other special instructions need to be indicated. Display transparencies need to have both trim size and visual opening noted. Film Care Great care should be taken when handing film. Instructions or cropping guides should always be written with a fine line marker on a tissue overlay or negative sleeve. To help ensure accuracy of cropping, trace part of the subject on the overlay or sleeve; this will help in case the negative or transparency shifts during transit. Color Matching Please remember that all photo dyes have certain limitations. This means certain colors will fall outside the range of photographic reproduction. This is especially true of fluorescent colors and fabric that contain dyes. We can greatly reduce errors if you would send a sample swatch of the color we are trying to match. More... Digital Printing Your disk should include only file(s) you would like printed, imported artwork and fonts. Files should be prepared in proportion to the final output size. In addition, please include hard copy of the file(s) you are outputting. We support these popular software programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Pagemaker, Freehand, QuarkXPress, Powerpoint and Indesign. |
