How to achieve the best from your acrylics
At Fotocube we supply to a wide spectrum of professional photographers.
To ensure that our output closely matches the image you see on your screen, we work in a fully calibrated environment. We strongly suggest that all customers calibrate their screens using a hardware calibration device (such as EyeOne Display). All screens will view slightly different, however this will give a clear idea of how your finished image will appear.
Our printing software strips all embedded profiles when printing, which can result in some images appearing washed out or displaying a colour shift. If we feel an image appears to look incorrect, we will contact the customer and discuss what we are seeing on our screens.

Fotocubes Acrylic product is a very dynamic medium on which to view an image as light passes through acrylic from many different angles.
In some cases this could lead to a slight colour shift that could make your image look washed out.

We suggest that when ordering for the 1st time you order a small sample to see if your particular photographic style needs to have more or less colour saturation.

In order to ensure a close match, we suggest you follow the instructions below and install our Fotocube colour profile, by doing so you will be able to assign this profile to your image. You then need to colour correct the image to look how you want, this will in turn make what you are seeing a much more accurate representation of what your printed product will look like...
