VIDEO: Ordering Non-Standard Sized Prints

We often get phone calls from customers who need a custom sized print, either to fit an existing frame or because they want their prints to be the same size as their original artwork. Although we don't explicitly offer custom sized prints, with a little file prep work, you can get any size you need. In this video Sara explains how to prepare a file to order a non-standard sized print.

You can also find file preparation instructions in this article in the section titled "Ordering Non-Standard Sized Prints".

As you know, we take customer feedback very seriously and most of the changes made around here are based on customer requests. If there is a particular size that you find yourself needing, please contact us to let us know. If there is enough interest, we'll add the size to our site.

Thanks,
the iPrintfromHome.com team

New Print Sizes Update

We e-mailed you a couple of weeks ago to let you know that in addition to all of the standard sizes, we are now offering 4", 5", 8", 10", 11", 12", 20" & 24" Photographic Prints, Giclee Fine Art Prints and Photo Inkjet Prints in aspect ratios of 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 1x4.

All of the new sizes are available through the iPrintfromHome Traditional web-based system. Since the last newsletter, we have also added all of the new Photographic Print sizes (and mounting and laminating options) to the ROES and 'Crop & Composition Tool' ordering systems.

We’ll be adding the new Giclee and Photo Inkjet sizes to ROES and the ‘Crop & Composition Tool’ ordering systems over the next few weeks. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.

For a full list of sizes, take a look at our new pricing list: iPrintfromHome.com/pricing.asp

Many of the new sizes were added in response to specific customer requests for those sizes. If you think we missed any, don't hesitate to write in to let us know. Although we may not be able to add your requested size immediately, we'll add it to the list for next time.

Tuesday Tweet Treat - June 2nd, 2009

iPrintfromHome.com will announce a special Tuesday Tweet Treat each Tuesday that will only be valid until the clock strikes midnight EST that day.

This Week's Tuesday Tweet Treat: 1 Free 12x36 Panoramic Photographic Print - Kodak Pro Photo Papers: Metallic or Glossy**

In keeping with last week's theme, we again invite you to view and frame your world from a different perspective. This week, we invite you to explore the world of panoramic printing.


We're all used to seeing 4x6, 8x10 and 16x20 prints. Most people think in terms of these standard print sizes and aspect ratios (ratio of the height to the width) when they shoot photographs, make art and order prints. But given the opportunity to experiment a little, you can, in the words of one of our customers, produce some "drop-dead gorgeous" images.

**Offer does not include shipping.

Instructions:
1. Place an order for a 12x36 Panoramic Photographic Print at iPrintfromHome.com between 12:00am and 11:59pm EST on June 2nd, 2009.
2. IMMEDIATELY after placing your order, send us an e-mail (here) with "Tuesday Tweet Treat - 1 Free 12x36 Panoramic Photographic Print" in the body of the e-mail.
3. Once we receive your e-mail, we will adjust your order so that you not charged for one 12x36 Panoramic Photographic Print.

Tuesday Tweet Treats will be announced here in this blog and also on twitter. Follow us at http://twitter.com/iPfHSara

iPrintfromHome.com is now pleased to offer Large Format Photo Inkjet Panoramic Prints.

These are the largest print sizes that we've ever offered at iPrintfromHome.com. Our Photographic and Giclee Panoramic Prints have been very popular with customers, but we kept hearing that you wanted bigger print size options. So, here you have it!

Photo Inkjet Panoramic Prints are available on Lustre and Glossy papers in sizes up to 40"x160"...that's more than 13 feet! Please click here for more information about pricing and size options.

As always, if you have any comments, we'd love to hear them. Click here to send us an email.

New Panoramic Print Sizes

iPrintfromHome.com is pleased to announce new Panoramic Print sizes! Beginning this week, we will be offering Panoramic Photographic Prints in three new sizes: 4"x8", 4"x12" and 4"x16".

We're excited about this for a couple different reasons. First of all, it's always nice to add new sizes to our list of printing options in an effort to better meet our customer's needs.

Specifically, for those of you who are interested in buying a Panoramic Print, but don't necessarily have the wall space for a 12x24 inch or larger print, these new smaller sizes can provide an attractive alternative.

Also, these smaller panoramic printing options will allow you to place a "test-order" for a Panoramic Print, without having to buy a really big one and without spending much money. The 4"x8", 4"x12" and 4"x16" Photographic Panoramic Prints are priced at $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 respectively.

Now that we've covered the nuts and bolts of this new product offering, I'll tell you why we're really excited about it...

What we're really hoping to do with these new Panoramic Print sizes is to open a door to the world of panoramic printing. Because the prints are small and inexpensive, you can experiment with panoramic printing without worrying about using up too much wall space or freeing up too much wallet space. :)

If you haven't dabbled into panoramic printing yet, we'd encourage you to give it a try. We're all used to seeing 4x6, 8x10 and 16x20 prints. Most people think in terms of these standard print sizes and aspect ratios (ratio of the height to the width) when they shoot photographs, make art and order prints. But given the opportunity to experiment a little, you can, in the words of one of our customers, produce some "drop-dead gorgeous" images.

Panoramic printing offers the opportunity to view and frame your world from a different perspective.

With the addition of these new sizes, we're now offering three different tiers of Panoramic Prints: 4 inch, 12 inch and 20 inch. Within each tier, we have three print size options with the following aspect ratios: 1:2, 1:3, 1:4.

To actually visualize how your image would fit within one of our Panoramic Print sizes, please feel free to download our ROES ordering system and play around with the different templates. Please click here to download ROES.

You can also preview your images as Panoramic Prints using our new Printing Preference Preview and Cropping Tool. To do so, please sign into your account, open the album that contains your images and then click on "Place Order with Printing Preference Previews and Cropping Tool (Beta)".

Windows Live Photo Gallery

I just saw this commercial last night and I thought to myself, "I bet our customers would really like that". I told my dad about it on the way to work (we carpool). He had seen it too and had the same thought. THEN, I come into work and guess what was sitting in my inbox...a message from a customer asking if we can help him make a panoramic print from an image he created using Windows Live Photo Gallery.

It's funny how things happen like that.

Anyway, so I downloaded the program this morning and stitched together some pictures. It worked really well and was very easy. If you're looking for a good and free photo stitcher, check out Windows Live Photo Gallery by going to www.mojaveexperiment.com.

Another thing I like about this commercial is that it reminds us that photographic prints can make great gifts. Especially in these tough economic times, a photographic print can make both a meaningful and inexpensive gift.
