Photo Touch Up
If you have a photo that is less than desirable because of red eye, acne or something in the
background, we are able to help you out. A&J Grafix will touch up your photo to make it pleasing to you.
Through our graphics programs we are able to work with your photo and remove items or add color depending
on your needs.
A&J Grafix gives you 5 minutes touch up time at no cost to you, which would cover red eye or some blemishes
on a face. Please make this selection if you desire to have red eye removed or to remove blemishes on
a face. More in depth touch up will require more time, and an additional cost will be added to the price. Additional
touch up times include 10 minutes and 20 minutes. If more extensive touch up is required consider
selecting (Photo Reconstruction) to cover your needs.

Photo Reconstruction
Memories are a precious thing. Do you have an old photo? Do you wish it didn’t have that scratch or fold
mark on it? Is the color faded or worn out in areas? Are the corners ripped or missing? Give us a call we
can help you out.
By scanning your old photo we can harmlessly capture the image and rework the photo on the
computer. Through our program we can fix undesirable imperfections or results of aging on the photo.
Following the reconstruction of the photo we will print a new copy out on high-quality photo
paper by Epson, on your choice of paper from our selection.
Photo reconstruction is priced according to the size of the original photo and the degree in which it
needs reconstruction.
- Level 1 This level would cover minor scratches or color corrections
due to age.
- Level 2 This level covers small missing corners or larger scratches
or tears
- Level 3 This level means there is a lot of work to recover image
color or missing pieces that
need to be dubbed in.

Panoramic Photos
If you supply us with two or three photos that are taken from the same point, time, and level across
a subject we can put them together to create a panoramic photo. We also can create a panoramic looking
photo by re-sizing a single photo to simulate a panoramic view.
Panoramic photos are great for spaces where wall space can be large and unused.
*With combining two or three photos, some clipping of the photo may result by re-sizing or positioning of
the photos in the creation of the panoramic picture. Check out our sample to give you an idea of how it is
done.

Displays
If you have a product or service to promote, create a display sign that you could stand up on its
own, whether on a counter top or on the floor.
By mounting the image to a foam board and the use of an easel back, you can stand your display up wherever
you need. Displays can be as small as 8.5” x 11” or as large as 40” x 60” (some larger displays can be
unstable). You can contact A&J Grafix about special projects.

Banners
Banners are a good way to get information out in a large way. By using a vinyl material, banners
are made to be weather proof and durable, for use indoors or outdoors. Combined with the light fastness of
the ink and durability of the vinyl, these banners can handle years worth of abuse. By adding grommets to
the corners, you are able to tie your banner up and secure. Hanging your banner up in many different ways
is easily done.
Banners are also good for temporary, and easy to use signs. By rolling the banner up for easy storage you
could use it for annual events. They are popular for their use by trade show vendors. Banners are widely
used among many businesses that you see around. They can be as large as 44” x 40’ or as small as you
would like. (Contact A&J Grafix with any questions).

Art Prints
Art prints are images that are typically larger in size to be framed as wall art. By choosing the desired look
of your print, we can simulate the look of a watercolor painting or even an oil painting. Your photo will
have a uniqueness that not everyone has to show.
Your image can be printed on canvas, a velvet fine art, smooth fine art, or a textured fine art paper.
Canvas is what you would use to simulate an oil painting, the backing looks and feels the same as oil canvas.
Velvet art paper has a soft surface to it, if you run your hand on it you can feel the softness. Smooth art
paper has a soft smooth absorbent surface, this can simulate a watercolor picture. Textured art paper has a
surface that looks all wrinkled, almost a look like stucco.

Signs
Signs are commonly used in store fronts to give information about products,
or sale items. You may find
them hanging from the ceiling to promote an item or a sale. They
are also great for short-term or annual
usage. Political signs are a good example of a short-term sign use.
We can produce your sign on a poster board for durability and
rigidity. We can even create a sign
to be mounted on a sheet of plywood. To protect your sign from the
weather we would encapsulate it on our
laminator, then mount it. Signs can also be mounted on a foam core,
or gator board, with or without lamination.
Signs can vary in sizes depending on your application. Some common
sign sizes are 17”x22”,
20”x26”, 22”x28”, and 28”x44”
(please call with special requests, and shipping information).

longevity of your poster by laminating and/or encapsulating it. To make a poster form more of a permanent
use you have the option of mounting it to a backing material. Backing materials consist of foam-core,
gatorboard, coroplast or even plywood (please contact A&J Grafix with requests on plywood, as shipping
methods may be different and costly).

vinyl material that is able to adhered to many surfaces. These surfaces can range from painted walls, glass,
wood, tile, and some wallpapers that are smooth.
The vinyl has a non-glare surface which shows bright clean colors and is also water resistant
which means you can use them in a bathroom or an area that may get wet. This material is also removable
so when you desire a change it is easily peeled away from the surface for re-use. For photos that have been
in one place for a long period of time simply warm the adhesive with a hair dryer before removal.
One dimensional photos are great to use in RV’s, Kids rooms, Bathrooms, or even in the shower
or wherever you may want to display an image. The A&J’s One Dimensional Photo Frame has no glass
to break and no frame to fall off of the wall, meaning they are a safe and easy way to display photos in a
babies room, bathroom or an RV where safety is always a concern.
They can even be used as a mouse pad. They easily stick to most surfaces, so protect your desk by
sticking your photo directly to the surface. Works well with optical or a ball track computer mouse.

selection on the order form.

Laminating
Laminating is a great way to preserve your printed piece for long-term use. This application can
simply protect your print, or increase thickness for even more durability. With the use of dual roller
heating on our 44” Seal Laminator we can fully encapsulate your printed piece to protect both sides from
water damage or scratches.
We offer a full range of film thicknesses, from 1.7 mil to 10
mil. Thinner films are most commonly used for giving you a protective
coating. Thicker films will give your print more body and durability.
The thicker
the film the stiffer the print will become.
You can also choose your finish, choose from gloss, satin, or matte, (contact A&J Grafix for special
applications). When you are choosing the finish there a some things to keep in mind. How is the piece
going to be used? Where is it going to be used? (Environment), How long will it be used, and the amount of
handling the piece will receive in the course of its use? These are some determining factors when choosing
the finish.
A gloss film will allow light glare, but will also give your print a look with rich and vibrant color.
Gloss is more likely to show fingerprints and smudges, which can be easily wiped off. Gloss laminate film
is the most commonly used film among a wide range of projects.
A satin film will reduce light glare while still showing good clear color. This film is good to use
when there will be a lot of artificial lighting being used.
A matte film produces a glare-free coating with a dull look, great for resisting fingerprints and
smudges. This gives your print a soft look in appearance.

Mounting
Mounting is a process of adhering your print to a thicker backing material creating a stable form.
This process is used for displaying as a stand-up, or free hanging from the ceiling or wall. There are also
many other applications where a backing can be of use. This backing can be that of foam core, gator board,
coroplast or even a thin plywood. (Please contact A&J Grafix with requests on plywood).
Mounting is a two-step process, the first step is to apply the adhesive to the backing material, and the second
is to apply the print to the backing material being used.
Mounting adhesives with an opaque body are used for dark backing materials to eliminate the chance of
any of the color from the board or mounting surface to show through your printed piece.

Canvas Wrapping
Canvas prints can be wrap mounted onto a
wooden frame giving you a professional look to your print. Your canvas print can be wrapped to a Gallery look (having the image wrap around the edges of the frame) or a Museum Look (museum wrap will have your choice of white edge or black edge).
Choose your border color.
