Frequently Asked Questions
Product Specs
- What are the benefits of having a matte photo over a glossy photo?
- Matte photos are designed to completely reduce light glare, making them the perfect print to display in well-lit rooms and across from windows or light sources. Decorative lighting can be used to enhance the ambience of matte prints. Glossy prints are better suited for areas that aren’t as bright or as well lit.
- Will a matte finish diminish the quality or clarity of my photo?
- Absolutely not! We pride ourselves in high-quality prints with incredible clarity. The matte finish will allow rich colors and fine details to be perfectly visible. While the finish may differ, the quality of printing will be outstanding for any of our professional photo paper prints - glossy, matte or metallic.
- What are the mounting options available for matte prints?
- We offer different display options that allow placement of your print in a variety of locations. We offer a print-only option that does not include a display, giving you the freedom to show off your print how you like. We also offer an ultraboard mount, easel backed mount, and a French Cleat mount.
Ultraboard mounts are a high-density lightweight board similar to foamboard but even stronger that covers the entire back of your print. Ultraboard adds rigidity to the print without sacrificing quality or potability. Ultraboard allows your print to be propped up or leaned against something for display.
Easel-backed mounts are attached to an ultraboard mount, providing for display on shelves, tables, and mantles. The easel mount folds out from the back of the ultraboard, making it hidden from view when displayed.
French Cleat mounts are a unique display option that offers simple and quick mounting on a wall. This mount comes in two parts, with one coming pre-attached to the ultraboard backing of the print and one that is easily adhered to the wall. Simply peel and stick the wall mount on any flat, non-porous wall and slide the print on for a secure fit. Having multiple prints with French Cleat mounts means you can easily switch out prints on your wall. - What type of photo paper is used for printing on?
- We use an archival-quality, matte photo paper for printing on. Archival-quality photo paper is the kind of professional paper used for important documents, photography labs and museum-type prints. In short, this is a premium photo paper intended for the highest quality printing.
- Do you provide frames to display photos in?
- We do not provide picture frames at this time. Our matte photo prints are compatible with most picture frames, as long as the frame matches the size of the photo print. Prints with an ultraboard, easel-backed, or french cleat mount may not fit properly in a picture frame. Select the print-only option to have a frame-ready matte photo print.
- Do you offer laminated photos?
- We do not offer laminated photos. The prints are not scratch resistant and should be treated with care when displaying, handling and storing.
- How rigid are the prints without a ultraboard backing?
- Matte photo prints are thicker than traditional printer paper but not as thick as our 12pt cardstock posters. Our prints are flexible enough to be rolled up for transport or storing. Thus, there is very little rigidity to these prints. If you’re looking for more rigid prints we’d recommend our custom wood or metal prints.
- What file type should I use when uploading to your design tool? Is there a file size limit?
- We accept a wide range of file types, including: .AI, .EPS, .PS, .PDF, .JPEG, .JPG, .PNG, .GIF, .BMP, .TIFF, .TIF. It’s recommended that you use the file type that produces the highest quality and best resolution for your photo. Typically, this will be a high-resolution JPG picture from a digital camera.
Please note that the maximum file size limit is 25MB. To upload a file that is larger than 25MB, first upload a low-resolution version of your file when placing your order. When you reach the checkout page, note in the customer comments field that you wish to replace the low-res file with a high-res version. After you complete your order, go to upload.signs.com to upload your high-resolution file. Include your order number and any other comments about your file. Before printing we will then ensure that your higher resolution photo is used. - Can I order a print with rounded corners? What about a custom shape?
- We do not offer the ability to purchase matte prints with rounded corners or custom shapes at this time.
- What sizes are available? Can I order a custom-sized print?
- Matte prints are offered in a range of custom sizes from a small format 6”x6” to a large format 4’x8’ print.
- Can I print my Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook photos?
- Yes! We are currently working on the functionality to link to your social media accounts, but in the meantime simply contact us and we can help you upload your Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or any other photos for printing.
- Do you offer photo retouching services?
- Yes, we offer free design services that include photo retouching.
- Is there a limit to what I can print?
- There isn’t a limit to what you can print as long as you adhere to our terms of services. We retain the right to cancel any order that violates these terms. Our terms of service require that you as the buyer obtain all permissions needed to print copyrighted material.
- Are matte prints fade resistant?
- Yes. Your prints should last for many, many years without any fading of your print. The prints are not scratch nor crease resistant.
Usage
- What are the typical uses for matte prints?
- Matte prints are commonly used in both personal and professional or commercial settings. For personal use, matte prints can be displayed in living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, bathrooms, hallways, atriums, and other well-lit areas of your home. Matte photo prints are perfect for photos of families, weddings, landscapes, inspirational quotes, pets, flowers, and artwork.
In a professional environment, matte photos are ideal for display in conference rooms, offices, hallways, reception areas, kitchen and dining areas, and common areas. Use prints to showcase photos of local buildings, featured clients, company departments, scenery, and more. - How do I display my print?
- This will depend on what display option you choose during checkout.
Print only prints will need a frame of some sort to display.
Prints mounted on ultraboard can be propped or leaned against any solid flat surface.
Prints with an easel back can likewise be displayed on any flat surface by popping out the easel back on the back side of the print.
Prints with a french cleat can be installed on any solid flat wall. This is done by using the adhesive strips on the bottom half of the cleat and adhering it to the wall. The second half of the cleat, the part that is attached to the back of the print, will then slide into place. No nails or screws necessary! - If I roll my print up, will it crease or tear?
- Your print will not tear or crease when properly rolled up. We recommend loosely rolling or laying your print flat to avoid creasing your print. Photo prints are very susceptible to creasing. These creases will be permanent in nature and can ruin the appearance of an otherwise breathtaking print. Thus, we recommend storing your prints flat or storing them in a tube loosely rolled if at all possible.
- Will smudges of fingerprints be visible on the print?
- The matte finish of your print is extremely resistant to fingerprints and smudges, so you should not have to worry about them being visible when your print is displayed. If any streaks or dirt do collect on your print, wipe them away with a dry non-abrasive cloth.
- Are matte prints scratch resistant?
- Matte prints are scratch resistant to a degree. When handled correctly, you should not have to worry about your matte print being scratched or damaged. As with any photo-type paper, excessive touching of the print’s surface with a sharp object can damage the print. Further, an intentional effort to scratch them will result in permanent and visible scratches to your print.
- Can I display my print outdoors?
- No. Your print is intended to be used indoors only. While they might work outdoors in perfectly calm weather we do not recommend outdoor use in any setting or climate.
Display & Care
- How do I clean my matte print?
- Matte prints rarely have issues with dirt, smudges, or fingerprints. In the cases where simple cleaning may be required we recommend using a dry non-abrasive rag such as microfiber or a lint-free cloth. We recommend avoid any liquid when cleaning your prints. If you must use liquid we recommend the dampest of clothes (dampen ever so slightly with water and not cleaners) to do so.
- What is the best way to store or transport my print?
- If your print is not mounted on ultraboard, we recommend storing them flat with some kind of protective covering or sheet to prevent scratches or loosely rolled in a tube. If mounted on ultraboard, cover the print before storing or transporting. Store vertically to prevent items from being placed on top of the print. The prints, even when mounted, are not intended to be weight bearing.
- How long will my print last for?
- With the archival-quality photo paper and proper care, your print should last at least 100 years!
