16×20 Laminated Photo Print

Enlargement is unforgiving. A 16×20 laminated photo print shows exactly what your file contains, which is why the file matters more here than the size does.

A small print against a large one

At 6×4, a compressed image looks fine because everything is reduced. At 16×20 the same file is stretched across sixteen times the area, and softness that was invisible becomes the first thing you see. You may prefer our laminated photo print for the wall listing.

Where files usually fall short

Screenshots, images forwarded through chat apps, and pictures saved from social media. All three are compressed copies rather than originals.

What to send instead

The file straight from the camera roll or the camera. If the photograph came from a photographer, ask them for the original.

What happens if it is too small

The website flags a low-resolution image at design time, and we contact you before printing rather than sending out a poor result.

What we do to help it

Colour correction, brightness and contrast adjustment and minor clarity improvements are applied before printing. See also our large laminated photo prints listing.

Old photographs at this size

A well-scanned film print often enlarges better than a compressed digital one. The nearest match is our large photo print listing.
