Using Your Photo or Print:
Images for Large size puzzles will be printed as large as possible within the dimensions of 12.75" X 17.5",
and Small puzzles are approximately 8" X 10". If you are furnishing a photo or print, your puzzle will be
priced as Large or Small depending on which size it is closest to.
If you wish me to use a particular digital photo file, the file size should be 1.5mb or so in .jpg format to permit
a high-quality print. If you are unsure as to whether your file size is adequate or it is in another format, you
can e-mail the file to me for evaluation before you order. If the file size exceeds 7.5mb, you will have to mail
me the file on a CD, DVD, or other media.
Before printing your photo, I almost always will adjust the color or contrast for best appearance and impact.
If the puzzle is to be made from a manufactured print, contact me before ordering to make sure that the
finished puzzle can be of appropriate size and piece count.
Pricing Grid and Order Form:
Even though the following chart is geared to ordering a large-piece tray puzzle, I realize that individual needs
may dictate an entirely different kind of puzzle. If this should be the case, please write or call about your
requirements. I am a custom puzzle maker!

| Did you know that donations of puzzles to a not-for-profit organization can be tax deductible? This would include most facilities operated by government agencies or by charitable, religious, educational, and scientific organizations that provide assistance to disabled individuals. Each organization can tell you if gifts will be deductible. Very often, these organizations have no budget for "recreational" items such as puzzles, despite their obvious benefits, and must rely on donated items. Be a helper and make a gift of puzzles to your favorite care provider or support organization. |
