Frequently Asked Questions: Order prints

How do I return/get a refund for a print order?
If you are not satisfied with a reprint or enlargement, we will send you replacement prints or refund your money. If you request a refund, the credit card you have on file with your Snapfish account will be credited for the amount of the refund.

Are my prints going to look like the picture on my computer?
Actually, they will look better. When we print your photos, we use the high-resolution versions of the photos stored with your account. As a result, your printed photos should appear cleaner and more colorful than what you see on your monitor. We will display a warning for any photo that may not produce a good quality print, and you can click the 'Preview' link under each photo in your cart to see how it will appear when printed in different sizes.

What does the yellow triangle mean?
In your cart you may notice a yellow triangle next to one or more of the photo sizes (15x10 cms, 12.5x17.5 cms, 20x25 cms, 20x30 cms and Wallet). This is a warning that print quality at that size may not be as good. To avoid ordering a low quality print, we recommend that you do not order a print size when a yellow triangle appears next to it.

What resolution do I need for good quality reprints of my digital photos?
View our Photo Resolution page.

Can I order reprints in a matt finish?
Yes. You may select matt or gloss in the 'Print finish' section of the shopping cart. The finish choice will apply to all prints in your order.
