Photo printing

Paper or canvas

A simple rule: if the photo is going into a frame, print it on photo paper, which gives sharp detail and accurate color. If it should hang as it is, with no frame or glass, go for canvas. Canvas has its own fixed price list by size, on the canvas printing page.

From small prints to a whole wall

We print small photos that go into an A4 frame or stand on a desk, and large prints that take up a whole wall. What limits the maximum size is not the printer but the file: the sharper the photo and the more megapixels it has, the larger it can go without losing detail.

If you are torn between two sizes, measure the wall before you come, or just take a photo of the room on your phone. It is much easier to recommend a size when we can see where the picture is going.

Preparing a phone photo for print

For a sharp print, bring the original file, not a screenshot, a photo that has been forwarded over WhatsApp again and again, or a version downloaded from social media. Those versions are usually smaller, and printed large they can look soft or pixelated.

If the photo is on your phone, find it in the original gallery and keep it as it was taken. If a photographer sent you a link or a file, download the full file before you come. You can also bring a few photos you are choosing between: we will look together at sharpness, cropping and the ratio of width to height, and help pick a size that suits both the photo and the wall.

Print quality

We print on a professional Canon printer with quality inks that give vivid color and strong fade resistance over the years, on paper and on canvas alike. In practice that means the color stays close to what you saw on screen, and the photo does not lose it after two years on the wall.

Printing and framing in one job

The advantage of printing somewhere that also frames is that the print size is matched to the frame and the wall, not the other way round. Instead of printing at some size and then hunting for a frame, you decide first how it will look on the wall and print to that. You arrive with a file and leave with a printed, framed picture ready to hang.

Price, turnaround and area

For prints on paper the price is set by size, and if you add framing, by the frame you choose. You get an exact quote at the studio once we have seen the file and the size you want.

Most printing jobs are ready within two business days, with express printing depending on how busy the studio is that day, so it's best to check availability by phone first. The studio is at 3 Naftali Palatin St., Rishon LeZion, with free parking nearby, open Sunday to Thursday 08:15–17:00. Customers also come from Tel Aviv, Holon, Bat Yam, Rehovot, Nes Ziona, Be'er Ya'akov and Yavne.
