We recommend JPEG files in the RGB color mode.
The iPrintfromHome.com system accepts JPEG and TIFF files in RGB format. CMYK or Grayscale is not acceptable.
We have optimized our systems to work best within the sRGB color space.
Common File Issues
Filenames
Please note that our system will sometimes have problems if your filenames are very long or if they contain non-alphanumeric characters. Here is an example of the filename issue:
simple.jpg = good filename
complicated+7&21isajumbled name_final.jpg = bad/long filename
JPEG Issues
Please save your JPEG files as "Baseline (Standard)" JPEGs. Do not save your files as "Baseline Optimized" or "Progressive" JPEGs.
TIFF Issues
If you are going to prepare TIFF files, do NOT save them with LZW Compression. We are unable to image TIFF files with LZW Compression.
General File Issues
Our upload system may have problems if your files are very large.
File Size Recommendations
We recommend that you prepare your files using a resolution between 100 and 300 dpi.
This assumes that you prepare your files at the same size as the prints that you will order. For example, if you are ordering a 16x20 print, please prepare your image as a 16x20 digital file with a resolution between 100 and 300 dpi.
We advise that you don't order Fine Art Prints from files that have a resolution less than 100 dpi. If your digital files have less resolution than 100 dpi, you may not be satisfied with the prints that you receive.
