DOTCOM File Specifications

File Sizing Requirements

Finished prints are to be sized at 254 Pixels/Inch. (e.g. 76.2cmx100cm@254Pixels/Inch)

File Layout Requirements

Files are printed on rolls of paper 762 mm high by upto 44 metres long.

DotCOM Prints will be charged according to the 762 mm height dimension X how many square metres of product you use.

(So if you only print one 8x10 inch print you will still be charged for the excess product on the ends( eg. 762mm x 203.2mm). It is wise if you have many prints to set your files up in strips of 762mm X ? dimensions in order to avoid wasting the product you are being charged for.)
