By ImgHeal · Updated

Keep a print record linking the exact export, crop, paper, and order settings so a successful restored photograph can be reproduced later.

Identify the exact input

Record the submitted filename, photograph identifier, pixel dimensions, and version. Keep the actual delivery file rather than only a screenshot of its appearance. A later edit with the same name can differ in color or crop. Use a dated version or checksum if needed to distinguish the accepted input from future exports.

Record the production choices

List the printer or lab, product, paper, dimensions, border, and correction settings. Include the order reference and a short note about the accepted proof. Avoid treating a favorite result as reproducible from the image file alone. Paper and processing choices can materially affect how the same restored export appears.

Check a reorder against the record

Use the retained export and confirm that the product and available settings still match. If something has changed, make a new proof rather than assuming identical output. Keep the new print record as a separate edition. This preserves both the original successful combination and an honest account of any later differences.

Check before finishing

  • The exact submitted file is retained.
  • Production choices are recorded.
  • Changed reorder conditions receive a new proof.
