New Paper Sampler and Calibration Kit

This past winter we introduced an updated version of our Paper Sampler and Calibration Kit. We've given out a bunch, but many of you are still working off the older version. If you would like to receive a new one, please click here to enter your request.

Our Paper Sampler and Calibration Kit serves two main purposes. I bet you already know what they are….

First, it’s a sample pack of the various papers that we use to make prints here at iPrintfromHome.com. We think it’s important for you to see an actual sample of the papers (and hold them in your hand and up to the light, etc.) so that you can get a good idea of which paper would best suit your purposes. This is the first time that we're including samples of the Canvas and Photo Inkjet Papers in the kit. We're excited to be able to show you a complete sampling of the various papers that are available.

We’ve also printed a Calibration Control Image on each sample piece of paper so that you can compare how the same image is reproduced by different papers and production processes. This should help you make your decision between the various types of papers.

The digital file that we used to print the Calibration Control Image on each piece of paper is also available for download on our website. This brings us to the second intended use for the Paper Sampler and Calibration Kit. After you download the Calibration Control Image, you will be able to compare the digital file that you see on your computer screen to the print you are holding in your hand. If the colors match, then you’re all set. If they don’t, then you’ll want to make some adjustments to your files or your monitor to ensure that your prints meet your expectations.

If you would like to receive a new Paper Sampler and Calibration Kit, please click here to enter your request. Please keep in mind that if the response is overwhelming, there may be delays. However, we will send your kit out as soon as possible.

As always, thank you for your continued support of iPrintfromHome.com!

Thanks,
the iPrintfromHome.com team
