12×16 Matte Laminated Photo Print

Where do older photographs fit in a range built around modern proportions? A 12×16 matte laminated photo print is a 3:4 shape, which is what a great many archives were shot in.

A 3:4 shape against a 2:3 one

Phones and most modern cameras produce 2:3. Older compact cameras, tablets and many scanned prints are 3:4, which is slightly squarer. Look through our laminated photo artwork listing.

Why that matters for an old photograph

A 3:4 image forced into a 2:3 size loses a strip from the top or the bottom. On an old family photograph, that strip is often somebody’s head.

How to tell what you have

Look at the pixel dimensions. Roughly 3 to 4 means this size; roughly 2 to 3 means 8×12 or 12×18.

Scanning an old print

Scan it flat at the highest quality your scanner offers, or photograph it square on in daylight without a flash.

If the scan is weak

We contact you before printing rather than enlarging something that will not hold. Our design team can also help clean up a difficult scan. The alternative is our laminated image prints listing.

Older photographs enlarge differently

Film-era prints often carry strong contrast, which survives enlargement better than a soft digital file. A related option is our laminated photo print for gifts listing.
