Who this is for

You’ve edited your image and you’re ready to print—but want confidence it will come out print-ready with the right crop, DPI and paper choice. This photo print preparation service gives you a fast, expert file check and clear, practical guidance.

What I’ll do in your 30-min session

• Check the file: resolution, DPI/ppi, aspect ratio vs target size, noise, sharpening, colour space (sRGB/Adobe RGB).

• Fix the fit: crop/compose for photo sizes or A-sizes (with or without borders), protect key subjects and horizons.

• Soft-proof: simulate your lab/paper; flag out-of-gamut colours; apply sensible corrections.

• Export settings: deliver print-ready JPEG/TIFF with correct pixel dimensions, quality, and sharpening for matte/gloss.

• Practical advice: paper finish recommendations, border thickness, and notes to send to your lab or framer.

What you’ll receive

• 1× print-ready file (JPEG or TIFF) at the exact output size/DPI you requested.

• A short summary of what was changed and why (crop, DPI, sharpening, paper advice).

• Optional: second variant (e.g., with/without border) if requested.

What I need from you (upload/checklist)

Please provide:

• Your edited image (highest-resolution JPEG/TIFF/PSD; sRGB preferred unless lab specifies otherwise).

• Required print size (e.g., 6×4, 10×8, 12×8, 16×12, 20×16, 30×20, A4–A0), and orientation.

• Borders: yes/no. If yes, state border thickness (e.g., 5–20 mm) and whether you want equal borders or weighted bottom.

• Any framing/opening size constraints and deadline.

• Anything you’re unsure about (skin tones, deep shadows, banding, oversharpening, etc).

• Send your image to me with these details via WeTransfer service (free file transfer service)

Typical scenarios this solves

• The file doesn’t match A-sizes and keeps cropping unexpectedly.

• You’re not sure what DPI or pixel size to export for a large wall print.

• Banding, halos or blown highlights are showing after export.

• You want a tasteful white border sized correctly for a mat or frame.

Why it helps

A precise crop, correct DPI/ppi, appropriate output sharpening and the right paper finish make the difference between a decent print and one you’re proud to hang. This print-ready file check saves trial-and-error—and wasted prints.
