Before you print
eikoro exports the file at the resolution above and adds a 4 × 6 in or A4 print sheet with cut guides. Some authorities want a photographer's signature or stamp on the back of a physical print — if yours does, a home-printed sheet may not be enough. Check the official source before you print.
