We offer free test prints, they are 6x4 and printed on silver halide Lustre paper, a Traditional Photographic print. We advise all clients to do a set of test prints prior to ordering any products.

They give you a really good idea of the difference, between your screen and how they will print. Then we can address any issues before you start selling prints. We advise you to send a good range of images, so something very dark, something very light, something black and white, something with good amount of skin tone, etc.

How do I order them?

You can order them on our Roes ordering software under the Welcome Pack. If you haven’t set that up yet, you can download it from our site, but we also offer Zoom calls with one of our lovely crew and we can walk you through the set up.

Ok, I’ve got them now what?

Once you have seen the test prints, if you’re happy with them, great! You can relax knowing you’re using a pro lab and all we do all day long is make sure we have consistent output on our many machines.

But, if you’re not happy, then we need to work out what’s going on and where the issue it. We encourage you to give us a call or email.

Often people will have their screen calibrated but then absentmindedly up the brightness because they are used to a bright screen, like on our phones and TVs. That then causes your prints to be much darker and then you’ll also have weird colours coming out. But there are other issues that might be causing it too.
