Printing at The Graphics Lab (Print FX) D529

Check List before Printing:

-shot in RAW, saved as a tiff (Give the lab a flat TIFF )
-make a duplicate image, flatten, sharpen
-Process in ACR (the RAW window) at 300ppi
-Make sure your document size matches the output (paper) size. i.e....if you're making an 8x10 print, size your document to 8x10". Be in control of your borders- add them manually as white or black in Photoshop. Image > Canvas Size
-Apply Output Sharpening
-Look at your image on Print FX's calibrated monitor before submitting
-Make sure your image is in the right color space: use Adobe RGB 1998 for the Graphics Lab
-Think about the colors and contrast and mood of your image- what paper type best suits it?
