File Setup Fee

If you don't have the time, equipment or the knowledge - leave it to us. 
 

What Are Basic File Setups?
 

For any simple layouts, we can set up your files for print for only $5 per individual layout. (i.e. charged only once per file/size to be setup)

Simply add one setup per layout to your order and provide clear and precise information on the dimensions and white space requirements in the notes section in the order form.
 

A simple layout is anything that we can complete in less than 10 minutes and includes:

• Laying out images on a template
• Simple adjustments such as brightness, colour & contrast
• Print sharpening
• Cropping
• Straightening horizons

If you have any questions or more complex layout needs feel free to contact us. Complex layout work is charges as retouching work - $120/hr with a half hour minimum.
 

Notes on Trimming:
 

In general, we actually recommend you get your framer to trim your prints - they have excellent tools for this, and it's both more flexible (in terms of framing options) - and safer (the more white space around a print in handling, the more it is likely to survive life's little accidents!). In addition, framers will usually do this for free as part of the framing job.
 

That said, we do offer a basic trimming service, for which there are no fees.
 

This service offers cutting of (just) one image to size (i.e. up to 4 cuts) - using crop marks you must place in your file - follow this guide please. (N.B. we only offer trimming on prints up to ~45" in size, due to the size of our trimmer).
