What do the final prints look like?
Prints from Pictopia are made on archival photographic paper, which makes them sharper and more realistic than inkjet prints. They also last much longer than inkjet prints, even when displayed in sunlight.
The printer used by Pictopia uses matte-finish photographic paper on huge rolls, meaning that large sizes are available. All photographs larger than 11x14 are rolled, and shipped in mailing tubes.
Keep in mind that every computer monitor displays colors slightly differently. It is unlikely that your monitor displays colors exactly the same way our camera recorded them, so we cannot guarantee the hue or saturation of the resulting picture will exactly match what you see on your monitor.
