Order Prints by Unit

For those photographers that order prints by the unit, Apollo offers standard 8 x 10″ units. You can use ROES or LabPrints to order units of 8 x 10" (one), 5 x 7" (two), 4 x 5" (four) or a half unit of wallets (four) or 4 x 5" (two).
The full-unit price will be equal to the 8 x 10″ price for the order method used (Easy Basic, Easy Deluxe, etc.) and paper type used. The half-unit price will be the same as for a 5 x 7″.

Apollo provides you with a color-calibration kit that will assist you in calibrating your monitor to the Apollo digital printers. An electronic “Shirley” file (Shirley.jpg) is provided. Download the kit, and then call customer service at 800-747-7371 to have a Shirley print sent to you.

We strongly recommend a colorimeter and professional monitor-calibrating software such as Eye-One Display 2 or ColorVision Spyder2Pro. It is the easiest and most accurate way to calibrate all monitors. To calibrate an LCD monitor, you must use professional software.

Set your target white point and gamma curve to 6500 K and gamma 2.2 (gamma 1.8 for Mac). 6500 K is the industry standard for Web viewing. However, the white point of photographic paper is not as bright and a bit warmer, so you may want to use a white point of 5000-5500 K.

After calibrating, you should open the electronic Shirley image (Shirley.jpg) in Photoshop to visually match the print to your monitor. This step helps you double check that your calibration was successful. You may have to adjust the controls on the front of your monitor to match, as closely as possible, the color and density of the Shirley print. The color of the light source you are using to view the print changes how the print appears to you. Most of your customers will view their portraits with a combination of natural and artificial light. You should keep this in mind when viewing the Shirley print.

Calibrate your monitor once every month. Monitors older than three or four years might may not calibrate accurately enough to use for color correcting.

Color Correcting Images

All files will be color corrected unless otherwise specified. To request uncorrected prints in ROES, you must select Easy Basic catalog option. In LabPrints, when you create your lab order, you must click the Add Order Services button and then check the box marked Studio Color Correct.

Calibrating your monitor is a must if you plan to color correct your own images. Please see the Color Calibration tab for more information.

Digital File Requirements

Save in sRGB color space.
Files must be 8 bit. We do not accept 16-bit files.
Size according to the image size at 250 ppi.
Flatten all files before saving. PSD, RAW or layered TIF files are not accepted.
Remove all alpha/extra channels and paths before saving.
We recommend you save files in JPEG format at the highest quality level (12). We also accept flattened TIF files.
Include the proper extension (.jpg or .tif).
File names should contain numbers and letters only and should not exceed
15 characters. Files cannot contain the following characters: ^ * + < > ! ? ( ) # $ @ % ; : , ~ { } “” ‘’ ©
Do not use Photoshop guides as cropping guides. Please include a proof or provide written instructions.
