Why Free Test Prints?

See the quality of our pro lab printing services for yourself with our FREE test prints. A test print is a physical reference that allows you to match ("calibrate") your monitor colors to our printing. Once your monitor is calibrated, you can feel confident its display will closely match the prints we produce.

Order free 8x10" test prints (up to 12) with code NATEST810 at checkout. Code is one-time use only per account.

Test Print Options & Details

Monitor vs. Print

Family, Senior & Engagement Photos Printed on Different sizes of Photographic Prints

The most common problem we see is a customer's monitor will display images much brighter than a print. This results in prints appearing much darker than expected.

Click the order button below to get up to 12 free 8x10" test prints. Test prints help determine if your monitor is displaying images too brightly or too dimly, too cool or too warm.

Prepare Your Images

For your test prints, choose images that represent your work well. Save your images in JPEG format, sRGB color space at 300dpi resolution.

How to calculate resolution. For example, an 8x10" print at 300dpi is 2400 x 3000 pixels. That is, 8 inches * 300 pixels/inch = 2400 pixels, and 10 inches * 300 pixels/inch = 3000 pixels.

Optional Target Print
