4. Like our equipment, the materials we print your photos on are second to none. Our Fine Art Prints, for example, are made with Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, which is a high-quality paper used by professional photographers around the world. Another example is our Canvas Prints, which are made using the best quality poly-cotton canvas and basswood, and has been instrumental in helping us become known as the Photo Art Experts by Canadians across the country.
Scoring the printed sheets always helps, and should be planned for all stocks that are .006 or thicker. Will it eliminate all cracking? The real answer is NO, but scoring will minimize the potential. By varying the width of the score rule and channel, the chances for a clean fold are improved.
Easy Boost Photo Print Crack
While we make every effort to ensure your canvas arrives in perfect condition, sometimes things happen during the shipment process. If this occurs, take pictures of the damage and the box it came in, then contact us and we will ship out a reprint of your photo print ASAP.
Our website uploader accepts JPEG, TIFF or PNG files. If you have a file type that is not supported by our uploader or is larger than 100 MB, then you can contact us for alternate instructions, and we can provide you with a link to our FTP (file transfer protocol) site. We also have an exclusive feature which allows you to easily print high-quality photos straight from Instagram or Facebook.
You no longer need to worry that your image may get pixelated when you try to enlarge it to print it on a canvas or framed print. Here at CanvasPop, we specialize in printing lower-resolution photos and enlarging smaller images such as those found on your mobile device or even from Instagram and Facebook.
Answered below are frequently asked questions about why graphic tees crack and the best ways to prevent the situation from occurring. Take these following steps to ensure that your tee shirt prints stay colorful and fresh for many years to come.
There are various causes of peeled print, but the primary case is inexpensive and low-quality vinyl material to save some cash. In addition, graphics on shirts crack due to improper washing methods.
Another reason that prints on graphic shirts start cracking is due to the ink not being cured properly. When ink on the graphic is not cured, it will start to crack when the shirt is slightly stretched or even when washed.
The prints on your t-shirt can quickly fade away, leaving the graphic tees looking dull, cracked and frayed around the edges. The last thing you want is to see that fancy logo and text start to fade away.
The key to keeping a graphic tee from cracking while cleaning it using a washing machine is turning it inside out. Flipping the print to the inside of the tee will protect the design from getting in contact with the rest of the clothes in the appliance.
Following these simple steps will help you maintain your graphic tees without worrying about the prints cracking or peeling off too quickly. When washed properly, printed tees can last a very long time.
The bold colors of glossy photo prints are great for high-resolution images. They also work well for any sort of promotional material. In short, a glossy print grabs attention and shows off any subject as clearly as possible.
Actually, that's not really fair to say. Image resolution didn't purposely set out to make your life miserable when you printed your internet photo. The problem was simply that most photos on the internet have very small pixel dimensions, usually in the neighborhood of 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high, or even smaller, and that's because images don't need to be very large in order to appear at a decent size and good quality on your computer screen, and also because smaller images download much faster on websites than larger images do (which is a whole other topic that we don't need to get into here).
So what can you do to make photos you download off the internet appear just as high quality when printed as photos you took yourself with your digital camera? The answer - absolutely nothing. There simply are not enough pixels in most internet images to allow them to print at high quality, at least not without printing them at the size of a postage stamp, that is. Let's find out why.
The term "image resolution" means how many of your image's pixels will fit inside each inch of paper when printed. Obviously, since your photo has a fixed number of pixels, the more of them you squeeze inside each inch of paper, the smaller the image will appear on the paper. Likewise, the fewer pixels you print per inch, the larger the image will appear on paper. The number of pixels that will be printed per inch is known as the resolution of the image, or "image resolution". Image resolution has everything to do with printing your image. It has nothing to do with how your image appears on your computer screen, which is why images you download off the internet usually appear much larger and higher quality on your screen than they do when you print them.
I always laugh every time I see this photo of a horse I took while driving around the countryside one day. Normally this horse stands proud, powerful, full of grace and dignity, yet I seem to have caught him in a rather unflattering moment. He's standing on a bit of a strange angle, he has a piece of straw dangling from his hair, and he seems to be in the middle of chewing his food. Either that, or he's desperately trying to crack a smile for me. In either case, since this guy is already embarrassed, as am I for having taken this wonderful photo, let's use this image as an example.
The Image Size dialog box is divided into two main sections, Pixel Dimensions at the top and Document Size directly below it. The Pixel Dimensions section tells us how many pixels are in our image. The Document Size section tells us how large the image will appear on paper if we print it. If we look at the Pixel Dimensions section, we can see that this photo has a width of 1200 pixels and a height of 800 pixels. That may sound like a lot of pixels (1200 x 800 = 960,000 pixels!), and it certainly would be if we were displaying this image on a computer screen. In fact, at 1200 x 800, it may be too large to fit entirely on your screen! But just because it looks nice and big on the screen doesn't necessarily mean it will print nice and big, at least not with any degree of quality. Let's take a closer look at what the Document Size section is telling us:
The Document Size section of the Image Size dialog box tells us two things - what the current resolution of our image is, and how large or small the image will appear if we print it based on that resolution. Currently, our resolution value is set to 72 pixels/inch, which means that out of the 1200 pixels that make up our photo from left to right (the width), 72 of them will print inside each inch of paper, and out of the 800 pixels that make up the image from top to bottom (the height), 72 of them will print inside each inch of paper. The value in the Resolution box is for both width and height, not the total number of pixels that will print. In other words, for every square inch of paper, 72 pixels from our image will be printed from left to right and 72 pixels will be printed from top to bottom. The total number of pixels printed in every square inch of paper would then be, in this case anyway, 72 x 72 (72 pixels for the width times 72 pixels for the height), which gives us 5184 pixels!
The fact is, 72 pixels/inch is not enough to give us sharp, good quality, professional looking images when printed. It's not even close. To give you an idea of what I mean, here's a rough approximation of how the photo would look on paper if we tried to print it at a resolution of 72 pixels/inch. You'll have to use your imagination a bit here and try to imagine this at 11 x 16 inches:
Doesn't exactly look good, does it? The problem is that at 72 pixels/inch, the image information is being spread out too far on the paper for the photo to appear sharp and detailed, sort of like spreading too little peanut butter over too much toast. The photo now appears soft, dull and generally unappealing. We don't see this problem on a computer screen because computer monitors are generally referred to as low resolution devices. Even a photo with relatively small pixel dimensions, like 640 x 480, will look great on a computer screen. Printers, however, are high resolution devices, and if you want your photos to appear sharp and detailed when printed, you'll need a resolution much higher than 72 pixels/inch.
With our resolution now increased from 72 to 300 pixels/inch, this means that out of the 1200 pixels that make up our image from left to right, 300 of them will now print inside every inch of paper, and out of the 800 pixels contained in our image from top to bottom, 300 of them will now print inside every inch of paper. Naturally, with so many more pixels squeezing into each inch of paper, we'd expect the photo to print much smaller, and sure enough, the Document Size section is now showing that our photo will print at a size of only 4 inches wide by 2.667 inches high:
The photo will now print much smaller than it would at a resolution of 72 pixels/inch, but what we lose in physical size, we more than make up for in image quality. At 300 pixels/inch (or even 240 pixels/inch), we'd enjoy sharp, detailed, professional quality print results:
Of course, most people don't print their photos at weird sizes like 4 x 2.667, so how do we make sure we're going to get professional quality print results with more standard print sizes like 4 x 6? An excellent question, and the answer comes to us once again through some boring yet simple math.
Let's say you've taken some photos of your recent family vacation using your digital camera and you want to print out some 4 x 6's on your printer. We know now that in order to achieve professional quality prints, we need set the resolution of our images to a minimum of 240 pixels/inch, although 300 pixels per inch is the official standard. Let's look at both of these resolution values though to see how large of an image, in pixels, we'll need out of the camera in order to print 4 x 6's with good image quality. First, let's look at 240 pixels per inch: 2ff7e9595c
