Decent images for sublimation samples

[crystaluk]

Ok guys I am looking for images possibly using one on all the sublimation items for samples. I am looking for something that gives the right first impression in terms of colour vibrancy etc(getting the icc to work is another issue lol!) any recommendations please

single photo on all items = bad idea imo ;)
I would buy some descent photos from stock photo sitrs.

Place I use for images is istockphoto which have pretty reasonable prices. Remember that although you are purchasing a Royalty Free image you can not sell the item you have printed as RF does not include that aspect.

The alternative which I have also done is pop in to a local photographers and asked them if they have some images to use and in return given them some printed mugs (or something similar) as payment.

Take a few photographs of your dog or cat or a tree in the garden or a sunrise/sunset. I do not think that you need 'professional' images these days to give people an idea of what you are doing!

Have you noticed though that mac d's photos look a damn site better than their product tastes.

The exception to the rule is of course Polish Vodka after the first glass it doesn't matter what it tastes like and you can't see what it looks like. lol

I once opened a shop selling Polish, but all these Polish people came in looking for groceries and not wax etc. So being the wise man I am I asked a friend to put a sign in Polish on the window saying this is a Polish shop and not a Polish shop and you know what happened all these British people started coming in looking for groceries - never did understand why!!

But seriously the number of people in Birmingham that ask why we have shops selling Polish as surely people don't wax items these days is astounding!

It all depends upon who your intended market is.

If it is members of the public they will mainly want photos of family, friends and pets on their mugs. So you need similar images.

With regard to quality - you have to remember the images submitted by people should be ones they have taken - so you need to get used to working with non professional images.

Remember they will be expecting their mugs to look the same as the samples you provide, yet their images they give you may be rubbish in quality terms.

If it is for business then use professional images.
