Printable Products General Questions

• I need a scale that is not on your list, can you help?

Yes, send us a message and we will add your scale if possible for this product.

• Can I add some details to your prints (like weathering)?

Yes you can, with airbrush, chalks or specialty pencils. This ability will be affected by the darkness of your pattern and the ink density on your print.

• Can I spray a matte varnish on your prints?

Yes, but you have to do it very carefully, by successive and very thin layers. In other case you will see the details of your prints become a little bit blurry.

• I need a color variation that is not shown in the color options, can you help?

Yes, send us a message. If needed, you can find and include your color matching code (#xxxxxx) using this Color Wheel Tool

• I am searching a texture you do not offer, can you help?

Yes, send us a message and let us know what you are searching and we will see if we can add this new texture in our library. If you need to send us attachments or reference pictures, please send them to info@miniature-planet.com

• Are your prints shiny or glossy?

No, we print on matte papers but darker prints can be a little bit shiny, due to the amount of toner. If needed you can always spray a few thin coats of clear matt varnish on your sheets.

• What kind of printer do you use for your printed products?

We use color laser printing, to ensure colors will not fade when exposed to UV rays.

• Can I use your prints outside?

No, except if you laminate them with a thin plastic film.

• If I am ordering the same product in two different orders, may I expect to get exactly the same colors?

No, unfortunately we can't guaranteed the colors of your printed product will always be the same. There is a lot of factors that might affect the color matching of our products like humidity, paper used, ink level, etc. In top of that, we have to say that we are improving texture quality, definition and rendering so sometimes the original picture can have been retouched between two different orders.

• Which kind of glue do you recommend?

For durability, we recommend to use spray glue. If you are not experimented with this kind of product, we suggest to make some tests prior to glue your product because this is a permanent glue and you will not be able to reposition your print after it has been glued on your layout.
