IMAGE INFORMATION

1. What does low-resolution imagery mean?
When you want to use your own image, you may be warned about using low-resolution imagery from our design department. For your image to be printed with optimum quality, you will need high-resolution imagery.

If you are in anyway concerned about the quality of your image, our design department can look into the quality of your image and enhance it (extra charges may apply).

We cannot accept responsibility for the image quality on images that you supply.

2. Image requirements
The minimum recommended image resolution for a wall print viewed from 2 meters is 80dpi. Obviously the higher the resolution the higher the print quality will be.

If you are in anyway concerned about the quality of your image, please contact our design department on 03 9882 4905 or contact sales@inkifingus.com.au

3. What is the Deposit Photos image library?
Deposit Photos is our recommended stock image library. This stock image library has a wide selection of high-quality licensed stock photos, graphics and vector images that you can choose from. Please see our Terms and Conditions for use – Click here to view.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR WALL ART

1. Review Product Information to ensure this product is suitable for your wall.


2.
Allow a minimum of 14 days for any freshly painted walls to dry completely. Filler must be dry (if you have recently fixed holes) and any lumps or bumps sanded back before installation as any imperfections will show through when looked at closely. If you are at all concerned about your walls, we recommend a special coating of Viponds Acrylic Self Adhesive Prep Coat (Semi-Gloss Clear), follow instructions on the label.


3.
Not all areas are square. Measure your wall in two positions in both directions (height and width) and use the largest size.


4.
Think about the perspective of your wall art when it is scaled up to a large print on a wall and viewed from various angles and distances. Ensure you have the correct perspective of the height and position of your image when you upload and position in our wall art editor.


5. Image resolution:
If you are uploading your own images, the higher the resolution, the better the print quality.
iPhone 10 or above is recommended at a size of 3.2m x 3.2m. Avoid using zoom functions or portrait mode as this will decrease the quality of your image when enlarged.


Ensure your image is of a high enough resolution for the size of your wall art. It is always better if you use vector graphics when possible (.ai or .eps) as these are not resolution-dependent and can be scaled up to any size without losing quality.


If your image consists of raster graphics, you need to determine which resolution is right for your wall art. Raster image resolution is a pixel density in one inch, which is measured with units such as dots per inch (DPI) or pixels per inch (PPI).


When uploading your own photo in our editor, it will tell you the dpi resolution of the image when it’s enlarged to your specific size. Our editor will give you a yellow resolution warning if it goes below 80dpi when enlarged to full size and turn red if the image quality becomes poor and not high enough resolution for your print.


The larger the print, the further you need to stand away in order to be able to view it in entirely. Below is a quick guideline with approx. viewing distance and the maximum resolution under ideal conditions:

  • Standard Photo size – 127 x 178mm
    Viewing Distance 500mm
    Min DPI 300
  • A0 Poster Size – 841mm x 1189mm
    Viewing Distance 1.4m
    Min DPI 110
  • Wallpaper – 3.2m x 2.6m
    Viewing Distance 2.3m
    Min DPI 80
If you are in anyway concerned about the quality of your image, please contact our design department on 03 9882 4905 or contact sales@inkifingus.com.au.
HOW DO I MEASURE
Not all areas are square. Measure your area in two positions in both directions (height x width) and use the largest size. Excess will be trimmed off when installing (if required).


Should you have any questions about how to measure, please contact us on (03) 9882 4905 or email us at sales@inkifingus.com.au
