FAQ
We print with TRUE 8 x 10 photo quality, not laser printer prints or digital printing on that old dated card stock paper. No toner or ink, only true photo developing is used. Our printing provides exceptional detail with incredible color and quality. Card stock is so 80’s that make you look dated and casting directors do not like that bulky heavy paper. Always stick to what casting directors prefer, you don’t want to annoy them.
We use HD Quality Matte/Luster or Gloss Photo stock . Our photo stock provides exceptional color and density to your headshot prints and are slightly thicker than standard photo stock. The prints are blank on the back, no watermarks.
Really??? You spend so much money on your photo shoot and your headshots are key to your success. If you submit an amateur headshot into your audition, you will look “green” and dated and you will not provide a good first impression.
Also, these places print with low quality and do not catch errors with your images, setup borders or name type set… they just take your file and print. Let us do all the work for a low flat rate and higher quality.
Absolutely, we provide FREE retouching. You can select the retouching options on the order form. Remember, casting directors want you to look at natural as possible. We also provide free Layouts/Setups, name placements, agency logos, etc.
Card stock is not recommended or favored by casting directors or agents. Remember, its not about what you like, its what is favored by casting directors. You do not want to annoy them with bulky heavy card stock paper with poor print quality, it makes you look like an amateur.
No! You should not print resumes on the back of headshots. Since “working actors” should be updating resumes regularly either with new casting roles or training, casting directors will get the impression that you have not updated your resume recently which looks bad. Also, casting directors sometimes prefer to be able to separate your headshot and résumé if need be. With our photo paper you cannot print resumes on the back.
You should download the file in the highest resolution that the photographer provided you and upload to our order form.
