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.

Test Print Options & Details
Monitor vs. Print

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

Need a test image with a range of colors and skin tones? Download our Target Print to use as one of your free test prints. The file is ready-to-use in JPEG format, sRGB color space at 300dpi resolution.
Compare Paper Surfaces

Use your free test prints to compare our professional photographic papers (Luster and Deep Matte).
Be sure to choose several images that represent your work well and order test prints on each paper type. You want to see each paper's full range of color and detail in relation to your work.
