Photographic Enlargements

Photographic Enlargements are not the same as a "poster print".
A Poster is printed with ink or toner and typically has a white border.

Our enlargements are still processed the same way as our smaller photographic prints .... just BIGGER!

Like our smaller prints, processing takes place in a dark room. We use the highest quality Fuji professional silver halide photographic papers. Our software reads your sRGB color profile and embeds the image into the paper. This color gamut is larger than the human eye. 

Recently, we had family pictures taken from the amazing TreasureLayne Photography.

The photos on our walls were over 3 years outdated...gasp! 

It was time to update.

I took my favorite headshot of each of my boys and enlarged it to fill these frames.

Ryder thinks it's funny to put on the same shirt, hold up his enlargement, and snap a photo of his "bobble head".

Mounting is an affordable solution when you don't have the funds to buy a big fancy frame. I purchased these metal square frames at Ikea. We removed the matte and glass and inserted our Persnickety mounted print. 

At Persnickety, we use a heat press mounting system. 

We take your silver halide print, press & mount it in over 450 degrees, sealing the photo to the foam board permanently.

We also add a free textured protective coating to give your images a unique look. Mounted prints look great in a frame, without glass, hanging by a ribbon, showcased on an easel, or stuck to the wall with velcro. 

 ** please allow an extra 48 hours for enlargements and mount pressed orders **

 Recently, our friends at LeeLou Designs created this 40x15 masterpiece showcasing 65 instagram photos of her summer story.

 These aren't our photos, but Ryder is enthralled.

When this was ordered, we immediately contacted LeeLou herself and asked if she had saved a layered version -- because we want one too!
Creating these perfectly even squares is not easy... but thanks to LeeLou ... she's done all the work for us!
Our 15x40 Photographic Prints $29.99
Mount and Texture $25

Grab this 65 Instagram (or square) 2x2 photo template at LeeLou Blogs for free, and be sure to thank her for her generosity! She is a busy woman:)
(If a 40x15 is too large of a print, you can always cut the templates in half, use one strip or two.)

Happy Day!

Mounted Pop-outs

There are so many creative things you can do with a computer, some graphics, and photo paper! Here is a FUN way you can make any image "pop"!

We are working on dressing up our booth for the Casual Blogger Conference.  Last week I went to our one and only Utah Ikea and bought a few frames from the RIBBA collection. This small 5.5x5.5 frame is priced at $4.99 and the 9x9 is $9.99. These frames  are 1 3/4" thick.

All graphics are made with Deena Rutter's Happier Kit.

 For this project we are using the outside dimensions (6.5x6.5) and mounting our image on 3/16" foam core to the top/outside of the frame.

Here is the 6.5x6.5 image I am using, printed on our pro matte paper and mounted on foam core. Then we used spray adhesive to mount it on top.

You can stack em, or hang them up!

Another idea would be to display a child's photo and store any "keepsakes" inside, as there is a significant amount of hidden space!

Just for fun, here are some water bottles that we have put together.

We will be sure to post pictures from our Booth when it is up and complete!
