PRINTING TIPS FOR THE PICTURES

If you want thew print to be as close as possible to original size, you need it to print at 150 dpi.

Screen and Printed color accuracy. The colors you will see will not accurately match new samples of the material shown. What you see should be pleasingly close; don't expect a perfect match.

If you want to come as close as possible to the original scans, print on a high quality photo printer using correct profiles for the paper and printer you are using. I'd suggest glossy or lustre finish paper over matte.The files are in Adobe RGB 1998 color space which is a fuller spectrum space.

Most commercial photo printers automatically correct for people pictures, not items like these. I would expewct considerable variation from such an outfit; this isn't what they do.

If this is all gibberish to you, look for a serious photographer; it will make sense to them. Or should.....
