Creating your Image and Uploading

Create the images to be ordered with the programs you’re used to. Preferably in the 1:1 final format you want to order. If you have no graphical knowledge you can send us the image as it is. In both cases you must respect the requested file format: TIFF, JPG, PNG or PDF in both RGB and CMYK.
When the images are ready, go to the red "START AN ORDER" button at the top right. An interface will appear where you can select the images on your computer or peripheral and upload them. You can upload different images at the same time and mix different file formats and colour systems.
If you don’t know how to get started, just contact us, you’ll find our contact details at the top left, click on the phone number).

Online Analysis of your images

The online order module analyses your images and refuses to accept them if something is not right. This will be communicated via a message.
For technical information, please go a little further through the item "Delivering an Image".
After your image has been accepted and analysed, the dimensions and number of DPI (dots per inch - inch = 2.54 cm) of your image will be shown.
You can accept or change these. Changes are always done homothetically. It is these dimensions that will determine the price.

Fine Tuning your Online Order

From now on you can choose a main product for each image and supplement it with the combinable options.
Concerning the chosen main product, the commercial page is shown at the bottom of the order window. This is a tool for making your choice easier.
You can therefore go to detailed information during your order and return to your order.
Unfinished orders can be retrieved for up to 30 days via the shopping cart at the top right of the page.
Your unfinished order will be kept on your computer through your login account and a cookie.
