Printing at home
- Size: a home printer is fine up to 8x10 inches.
- Paper: matte photo paper gives a soft, painted look. Glossy works for bright, modern pieces.
- Settings: choose the best quality, print at 100% scale (or "actual size"), and turn off "fit to page".
- Color: screens and printers show color a little differently, so print one small test first.
Printing at a shop or online
- Upload the file that matches your size, or bring it on a USB drive.
- Ask for 100% scale with no cropping, on matte or lustre photo paper.
- For the largest sizes, look at the proof before you pay, if the shop offers one.
On a Frame TV
- Save the 4K file to your phone.
- Open the SmartThings app and select your Frame TV.
- In Art Mode, add the photo from your phone and choose no mat, so the art fills the screen.
No phone handy? Copy the file to a USB drive, plug it into the TV, and add it in Art Mode.
