To ensure the best possible print quality, please review the guidelines below before uploading your images.

  • Upload high-resolution images wherever possible
  • Avoid Screenshots or images downloaded from social media.
  •  300 dpi or above is preferred.
  • Images between 160 and 300dpi can still be used however quality may be affected - lower resolution images may be used as a small scale print or collage feature to prevent low quality presentation. 
  • Your are responsible for monitoring your images resolution.
