The internet ordering software DigitalWorks Pro-Direct contains many more sizes including panorama sizes and generous discounts for quantity prints.
Prices from CD or DvD are approximately 10% higher than through the internet ordering software.
2. Folders should indicate the final print size in inches and print quantity if necessary. (see example to the left shown here in windows classic view) Indicate if files are to be printed on gloss surface by writing gloss on the folder like this '5x7 Gloss' (matte is assumed otherwise).
Indicate metallic on folders like this '10x20 Metallic
To indicate if more than one print of each image is required, do so like this '8x12_by3 on the folder.
You can also indicate different combinations like this '8x12 Gloss_by5' ('8x12' being the print size, on 'Gloss' surface and '5' prints of each image.)
(A good house keeping policy is type the shorter size first, eg 5x7 not 7x5)
Avoid illegal characters in the file name such as * ! ? # % \ | / " < > : ' . ,
4. Images which fail to load, in the wrong colour space, wrong Mode, wrong bit size, etc. will either be printed as is or will be returned uncompleted. We do not check images prior to printing unless requested. Minimum file opening fee of $5 will apply.
*Please note: cmyk, greyscale, and 16 bits per channel can cause our machine to crash. We then need to search for the problem file to discover what caused the crash and re-initialise the machine costing 20 minutes downtime. These image files will incur the $5 minimum file opening fee.
Additional Notes:
DO NOT SUBMIT FILES IN GRAYSCALE (Greyscale is not a valid RGB image format.) see colour spaceHint: To convert an image to B&W use desaturate. Desaturate maintains the full 8 bits over 3 channels while Greyscale is a single 8 bit channel.

Extracting Prints from Tubes with Bubble Wrap
Inspect the tube for damage upon receipt
(The prints are packed free of damage at the time of despatch from Digital Works)

On a large clean dry flat surface, (1) CAREFULLY remove the taped bubble wrapped ends from the tube then (2) slide bubble wrapped prints from the tube. (3) Gently bring the bubble wrap out of both ends of the prints, then without crushing the prints (4) holding the rolled prints, CAREFULLY remove the two packing tapes from the bubble wrap. (5) Releasing the prints will allow them to expand without damage.
