The photos above are sample. Production versions are printed with high resolution, and without signatures on the surface.
All photos are printed by crystal print. In crystal print, polyester is used to create a smooth and ultra-shiny surface. Smoother surface makes clear the image for print. Thus, vibrant colors, excellent gradation, outstanding sharpness, and clarity of the work would be yielded.
Most photos are based on 4:5 ratio, however there are some photos of exceptional aspect ratio. They would be printed as 4:5 by adding white margins.
