Are test prints really that important?
Yes, we highly recommend you see a test, especially if you are ordering large quantities. Test prints will allow you to see how the final product will print, as our test prints will match the final product. What you will see on your screen at home is different from what we see here. Every monitor is adjusted differently. This makes it virtually impossible to guarantee we can print the exact color tones that you are looking for. Without a printed sample to match, our printers will balance the colors for a good neutral skin tone. Files that lean heavily toward a specific color tone (ex: overly blue, green, or red) may not be fully corrected on your test print. These files may require Custom Color Correction, which can be provided for an additional $25.00. This includes an additional test print of the new corrections. Whenever retouching is ordered, it is also recommended to see a test print to ensure that the level of retouching matches what you want.
