    Images

    Hi

    I'm working on my site and would like to add images of real printed items.

    I guess everyone uses their own after a while, but at the moment, I haven't got any.

    Does anyone have any generic images I could use at first ? or do suppliers allow us to use some of theirs ?

    Thanks
    Frank

    depends on your supplier, some allow you to use their images, some will even provide you with high-res versions, others won't.

    While in theory that is the ideal, with shiny, curved surfaces not everyone who can print can take photographs which show their work in the best light.

    Good idea and something I will do, but at the moment I don't have the equipment. I'm concentrating on the site first.

    You can obtain reasonably decent images of curved shiny 'things' using no more than a large cylinder of thin white paper with white tracing paper on the top! Just keep the peephole for the camera nice and small.

    A 50cm x 50cm 'light tent' made from thin translucent white fabric will cost you £10.99 on ebay shipped free all the way from . . . Portsmouth. That should handle most items and you can use daylight to illuminate it.

    Certainly worth a go because there is nothing better for a customer to see than examples of your own work.

    I agree totally with Brixhamboy, a light tent from eBay is a great investment, I used to use one before I invested in some studio lights and used to light it from the outside with a couple of desk lights with daylight bulbs and took the shots with a cheap digital camera, if you have a decent camera phone then you should get some good results of your products.

    feel free to pm me if you need more detailed advice.....
