Can I see a preview of my design before it is printed?

Yes โ€” always. We never print without your approval:

  • ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธย Automatic mockupย โ€” generated instantly when you upload your photo at checkout
  • ๐Ÿ“งย Design proof by emailย โ€” sent for complex or custom designs before production
  • โœ…ย Approval requiredย โ€” for custom designs, we wait for your confirmation before starting

If you are not happy with the preview, contact us and we will adjust it until it is right. Your satisfaction comes before the print.

Will the colours on the slate look exactly like my screen?

Not exactly โ€” and this is completely normal and expected. Colours on natural rock slate will appear slightly different from your screen because:

  • ๐Ÿชจ The natural dark tone of the slate affects colour perception
  • ๐Ÿ’ก Screen brightness and calibration varies between devices
  • โšก UV ink curing on stone creates a slightly deeper, richer result

Colours tend to beย deeper, richer, and more mutedย on slate compared to a bright digital screen. This is actually part of what gives slate prints their unique, premium character. Our team colour-optimises every image specifically for slate printing before production begins.

Can I add text, names, dates, or quotes to my design?

Yes! Personalised text is one of the most popular additions to our slate prints. You can add:

  • ๐Ÿ‘คย Namesย โ€” individual or family names
  • ๐Ÿ“…ย Datesย โ€” birthdays, anniversaries, wedding dates
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌย Quotesย โ€” favourite quotes or personal messages
  • ๐Ÿ“ย Locationsย โ€” place names or coordinates
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธย Titlesย โ€” "Our Family", "In Loving Memory", "Est. 2024"

Simply include your text request in theย order notes at checkoutย or contact us before ordering with your exact wording. Our design team will incorporate it into your layout.

Are my uploaded photos and artwork files kept private?

Absolutely. Your privacy is important to us:

  • ๐Ÿ”’ All uploaded files are stored on ourย encrypted secure server
  • โฑ๏ธ Files are retained forย 30 daysย after your order is completed โ€” in case corrections or reorders are needed
  • ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ After 30 days, all files areย permanently deletedย from our system
  • ๐Ÿšซ Weย never share, sell, or publishย your personal images without your explicit written consent
  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Files are only accessed by our production team for printing purposes

Your memories are yours alone. We treat every photo with the same care and respect we would want for our own.
