When selecting a photo to be engraved keep in mind some simple rules to guarantee the best duplication possible. Though poor photos can be manipulated to engraved keep in mind some simple rules to guarantee the best duplication possible. Though poor photos can be manipulated to some degree in our softwarsome degree in our software, we recommend that you follow these simple rules to avoid unsatisfactory results.

1. Whenever possible, choose a photo that is sharp and in focus. Blurry or out of focus pictures will result in poor reproduction.
2. Never select washed out photos with little or no contrast. Photos with high contrast will allow for best results.
3. Since we use digital technology for reproduction, our preferred media are digital files. We suggest never sending original, one-of-a-kind photos unless you have no choice. Please scan or take the photo to Fedex, Staples or any office store and have it scanned on a CD or e-mailed to us directly to [email protected]. Photos taken from digital cameras or scanned from the original are ideal.
4. If you require a proof for specific requirements (taking out the background, dog head only, or full body shot)  or specific text sizes please let us know asap so we can create a proof.Otherwise our artist will create at their discretion the best possible result.
