If you’re new to printing or have a new artwork to print for the first time, test printing is a good place to start. A test print will show you exactly how colour, detail and/or resolution are translating from screen to print. If, after test printing, you find that your file needs adjustments, we can help with that too.

$16.00 per A4 test print
There are two options for A4 proofs. You can choose either or both, depending on your needs:
- Print the whole image: your entire image is scaled down and printed onto an A4 sheet.
Useful for checking colour, contrast, saturation etc.
- Print a cropped section at 100%: a section of your image is printed at 100% (i.e. final print size) onto an A4 sheet.
Useful for checking resolution and detail at final intended size.

A proofing option for large scale prints (over A2 in size). Roll print proofs allow you to test a section of an image at 100% (i.e. intended print size). They are useful for checking resolution and detail prior to committing to a final, full size print.
If you intend to order a roll print proof, please contact us with a link to your file and specifications of your final print - we’ll advise of the process from there.

We can print on media up to 44 inches (111.7cm) wide, so we can make prints to (almost!) any size you’d like. Print cost is determined by linear centimetre. To calculate your print price, multiply the length of the print in centimetres (inc. border) by the ‘per cm’ price, tabled below.
Example: a 50 x 70cm print will use 70cm of paper (the 50cm measurement fits within the fixed roll width of 609mm/24” ).
Print price calculation: 70 x $1.40 = $98.00
Maximum Printable widths:
– The maximum printable width of a 17” roll is 42cm (16.5”)
– The maximum printable width of a 24” roll is 60cm (23.5”)
– The maximum printable width of a 44” roll is 110cm (43.3”)
You may want to have test prints made to explore our different paper options, rather than check file quality.
To test drive paper types, we've created two options - print swatches & sample sets.
