This is usually casued by a file size issue. New cellphone cameras can create LARGE file sizes. Also taking photos with "portrait mode" or other filters on store extra data that doesnt play well with with our system. Solution: Use any photo editing software and edit the size of the file to the dimensions of whatever product you are ordering and set your resolution to no higher than 300. This should fix your problem.

How is the Print quality on different types of Dyneema® ?
Our printing process is permanent. Will not fade, bleed, or scratch off. There are some differences in how your print will look with different types of Dyneema®. 1.0, 1.43 are both semi-clear but still print really well and comes out smooth and shiny. The 2.92 and 5.0 Dyneema® has an abrasion layer that is white that prints more like a canvas photo print.
  • 1.0 Is perfect for more for patterns and logos. Photos will work but will appear translucent.
  • 1.43 Could be used for more detailed artwork. Well exposed and sharp photos also look good on 1.43 but keep in mind it's still translucent.
  • 2.92 Is good for everything including photos and text. Photos come out looking like it was printed on canvas. Artwork and logos also look amazing on 2.92.
