Prepare Photo for Metal Print
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
I have a single JPEG (4000 × 3000, 4.4 MB) shot on an Asus Zenfone 6 about seven years ago. When I first had it printed on brushed-metal canvas the result looked disappointingly flat because the original file was optimised for a back-lit screen, not for ink on metal.
I’d like you to take that same file and re-work it so the next print comes out vibrant and faithful to what I see on my monitor. The printer supplies their own ICC profiles and detailed set-up notes; I’ll share the link and you can pull down whatever you need from their site. Your monitor must be properly calibrated, as the critical tasks are brightness/contrast balancing and colour correction to match the house profile of the lab. If you feel subtle sharpening will help, I’m open to it, but tonal and colour accuracy are the priority.
Please return a print-ready master with the correct embedded profile plus a small, watermarked preview so I can approve it before I send it back to the lab. Any questions about the printer’s specifications, just let me know and I’ll point you to the relevant section of their site.
