Printing Your Files

About the Templates

Files from Barely Charmed high resolution saved at 300 DPI (dots pet inch. They will have the size of the file at the end of the name before the extension, ex. "download-16x20.psd".

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED to print larger than the displayed size, as prints start to look grainy and pixelated if printed too much larger than their intended size.

Formats and Where to Print Them

JPG files are best for printing from home or photo labs (like Walmart, VistaPrint, FedEx).

PDF files are best for printing from print shops (like Staples).

PNG files can be used for sublimation or printing on physical items, please remember these won't work as cut files or in cutting machines, such as Cricut or Silhouette.

Tips for Printing From Home

Some factors may vary results of your print when printing from home. First, make sure your print quality is set to "Best". Also, check that the type of paper and size you are using is selected (ex. photo paper, 4x6), if that option is option available on your printer.

Other factors, if the ink levels are low. This can make prints look awkward in a lot of different ways depending on which colours are low, and what you are trying to print. The type of paper can also change the way your photo looks. For instance, if using regular printer paper, a photo may print out with lines because this type of paper is better suited to text as it absorbs ink differently than photo paper or card stock.

Paper Recommendation

For art pieces, a heavyweight paper or card stock of 110lb with a matte finish will give you beautiful results.

For photo products, photo paper with a matte finish will be wonderful for your keepsake.

*Side note - in general, you won't be able to choose your paper type from a photo lab, only the finish. Options are usually glossy or matte. I prefer matte because it will hide things, like fingerprints. And trust me, I've seen my share of glossy pieces ruined by fingerprint.
