Getting Started


How do I get high quality images?

File Type: .jpg
DPI: 300 DPI
Colour Profile: sRGB

Size limit for each image - Minimum 1mb & Maximum 10mb

Note: The minimum is set to 1mb to avoid blurry and pixelated images. We do understand that some images will not be able to exceed the minimum. So, if majority of your file sizes are less than 1mb, we suggest going with a smaller photo album or book size to optimize your image quality.

How many images can I upload? - Curation of the first 150 images are free.

Additional curation:
$50 for up to 300 images
$80 for up to 500 images
$120 for 700+ images

How do I upload images from Instagram, Facebook, Dropbox and more? - To use images from third party image sources, select the black button labelled "upload files" in the product page. We support a variety of different third-party options.


What is DPI?
DPI is the short-term for Dots Per Inch. This is the number of pixels present in each inch of a photo file.

Benefits of High DPI?
The higher the DPI, the more clear and high quality printed image. High DPI is essential for larger print sizes.

Why You Should Avoid Low DPI?
Low DPI will result in blurry and pixelated printed images. This is more noticeable on larger print sizes. Due to the high risk of low quality images/re-prints we only accept .jpg.

Which DPI do you recommend?
300 DPI


Here is a quick guide to change your DPI to 300.


After uploading your images, select the photo within your upload editor to crop or rotate. Use your mouse to make crop adjustments according to your preference, then select "Apply" and "Add" to save your changes. To rotate your image, use the arrowed rotation button.

Follow the same steps to crop and rotate your remaining photos.

Typically, computer monitors/screens are adjusted to give consumers the most optimal visual experience. This means the colours and resolution are enhanced to please the viewers eyes, rather than being true to print. Also, different papers and ink absorbs a bit more and this can make images that are dark, even darker in print.

How can I get the most accurate brightness or "true to print"?:

- Use a screen calibrator
- Adjust your screen brightness around 50%, then make any necessary adjustments to brightness or contrast
- Our Canon Lustre Paper absorbs less ink than our Matte Paper, which will result in more accurate blacks.
- Our "White Matte Paper" absorbs more ink than our "Matte Paper", so you may want to use our regular matte. The "White Matte Paper" is only available for the "Wedding Guest Book" and "Premium Wedding Guest Book".

Paper & Prints

We offered test prints in the past, however, the quality differs significantly from the final printed image. Furthermore, due to our current production line set-up, we do not offer them anymore.


Photo Albums

- We print on Canon Lustre Paper with our Canon DreamLabo 5000. Unlike the traditional halide printing, Canon takes a eco-friendly approach, that produces no harmful chemicals.

- Canon Lustre is a semi-matte paper with small pearly grains that create a overall soft-feeling.

- We offer Matte and Lustre finishes. Matte is smoother and creates less sheen and texture than the Lustre.

Fine Art Photo Albums

- We print on Premium Fine Art smooth paper with a Canon Large format Inkjet Printer. This printer’s 12-color ink system guarantees richer colors and deeper blacks.

- Canon Pro Inks meet the highest archival standards. Prints made using these inks can last approximately 200 years in a photo album, and up to 60 years exposed to light, making them ideal if you want to exhibit your work. 

- Premium Fine Art Smooth Paper uses 100% cotton for the base and it does not contain lignin, a causative substance that can result in yellow discoloration. This is an acid-free paper suitable for archival prints and image longevity. Additionally, photographers will realize deeper black density, detail gradation of shadow, and increased image longevity.

Wedding Guest Book

- We print on Durix Premium White Paper 230g, using our Dreamlabo 5000 and Large Format Inkjet Printer.

- This paper is excellent for signing and offers a bright white smooth surface. The colours will display more clear, but may not be optimal for dark images.


Photo Book

- We print on Gracia Matte Paper using our HP Indigo Digital Press.

- Gracia Matte paper is eco-friendly, excellent opacity, great clarity, highlights details, and offers smooth tonality.


Canon Dreamlabo 5000 - eco-friendly ink.

Canon Large Format Inkjet Printer - eco-friendly ink.

HP Indigo 7900 - eco-friendly ink and paper.


Our photo book and Fine Art Photo Albums Papers are 100% eco-friendly at this moment. We are putting effort into changing our papers for photo albums and guest books.
