Digital image files measure approximately 6000 pixels along the longest length of the image and can be printed up to 20 in. in length without loss of image quality.
As the original size of these documents is much larger than photographs, these files are approximately 8 in. x 10 in. at 1000 DPI. Maps and plans can be printed 30 in. long or larger.
Digital images are saved as TIFF files and provided on CD, DVD, USB or FTP.
The Archives provides inkjet prints on Epson matte paper. The prints are rated to last up to 80 years under normal framing conditions. The entire image (as seen online) is printed. We do not offer special crop requests.
You can create a print from these files as large as 16 in. x 20 in. Creating a print larger than suggested may result in loss of image quality.
The largest print the Archives sells is 16 in. x 20 in. See our list of fees for more information of size availability.
No, the Archives does not mat and frame images.
It is best to order the print first, and then buy the frame. Image proportions vary as they were created using various cameras.
