Your Dog's Commemorative Crystal Display
Your Dog's Commemorative Crystal Display You can order a custom display with a picture of your own dog and his/her achievements for your office or den. We take your photo and engrave it in the crystal - an amazing process that keeps both sides of the crystal smooth. The engraving almost glows in the light. You can also have your dog's achievement and name engraved below the photo. (Shown in the photo example below is 2003 National Open Champion Five Star General Patton.) The crystal shown measures 6" wide by 7" high. The optical crystal photo plaque is permanently bonded to an optical crystal base and then presented in a satin-lined gift box.  You may order it with its standard crystal base or instead, add a lighted base - choose rosewood or a black piano finish. The lighted base measures 2.5" x 8.5" x 1.3" and has an AC power adapter. Digital Photos The resolution from most newer digital cameras works perfectly for this product. If your camera is 3 mega pixel or higher and you've taken the photo at the highest setting you won't have a problem. If you're not sure about any of that, you can check the file size by right clicking on your image, then, click on properties, where the size will be displayed. Images that are 2 meg or higher are great. Images under 2 meg but higher than 0.7 meg are usually workable, so go ahead and upload those. JPEG or TIF files are both OK. We'll always call you if there is an issue. Traditional Print Many of these crystal products are created from traditional photographic prints. A question that frequently arises is "Will I get it back?" Absolutely. The engraver is obsessive about taking care of your property. That being said, we strongly recommend NEVER sending an irreplaceable photograph. Packages can and do get lost in transit and we would hate for you to lose a one of a kind image. If you have a treasured photo and no negative or copy we suggest that you have a high quality duplicate made before sending it. Scanning Tips You can use a flat bed scanner to scan your image at 300 dpi resolution. Save the file in RGB mode using JPEG format with the highest quality setting and lowest compression. If you have an old photo and don't have a scanner, you can have your photo scanned into a 300 dpi JPEG digital file on a CD at selected Kinko's stores, which you can then upload to us from your PC. You may e-mail your photo  and instructions directly to ccchantland@charter.net or info@sportingartisans.com. You may send by mail to: Chris Chantland 1534 Secor Farms Trail Traverse City, Mi 49684
