We're an on-line photo lab. We print your photos, artwork, or illustrations at any shape or size from 4" x 6" up to 30" x 58". Great for panoramas.

Compare our quality. We print on heavier, higher quality ink jet media. For example, our satin is 11.5 mils thick and our matte media is 13 mils thick! Thicker media can absorb a higher ink loading without cockling (wrinkling). With more ink, the colors are more vivid. Dark shades and black areas print much better. You will see and appreciate the difference. Of course, all inks and media are archival. And, we don't shrink your files to save disk space.

Fast turnaround. Most orders are shipped within one business day.

Compare our prices! We undercut even lower quality competition. Special Promotion for new customers: We offer a 50% discount on your first order, 25% on your second order. No size limit. The discount is taken at checkout. Shipping is free for any order over $50.

We provide exceptional editing capabilities, including Mosaics, Composites, and Collages. We have designed our editing so that all choices are on a single page, so you can change things easily and quickly. There is no charge for editing, and no charge to download your full size completed files.

Wanting to ship to your customer instead of yourself? No problem. You can blind drop ship so that only your name and logo appear on the paperwork.

A repeat customer? Our volume discounts are based on your cumulative orders, not just a single order.

Although we cater largely to high volume customers, there is no minimum purchase amount.

About Us

The owner of The Photo Square, Dr. David Schoon (pronounced "shown"), in 2001 started an on-line photo printing company which ultimately grew to have cumulative sales over 4 million prints. He sold that company in 2018. After a brief semi-retirement, he has created this new company.

This new creation, ThePhotoSquare.com, excels especially in these ways:

• Ease of use. Users are busy, and need to be able to find the information they need in seconds, not minutes. This site emphasizes function over glitz, making navigation far faster and easier than we've found on any other site.
  
  
• Editing. Most of this site's customers are working to satisfy the needs of their customers. Some of those customers want things like mosaics, composites and collages which are not easy to create if done well. This site simplifies complex photo editing tasks, providing incredible results easily and quickly, and without charge.
  
  
• We've found ways to minimize our costs, so that we can optimize our pricing, especially for medium and large size prints. Our pricing formula is nonlinear to best reflect our actual cost of production and keep prices considerably lower than is available from other vendors.
  
  
• We provide an easy way to blind drop ship orders to our customer's customers, shipping with paperwork which shows only their name and logo and not ours.

FAQ's

Q. How many images can I upload and store on your site?
A. As many as you want, but usually anything over a few thousand makes your directory harder to navigate.

Q. I will want my order drop shipped to my customer, with only my name and logo on the paperwork. How do I set that up?
A. Upload a file whose filename starts with "thisismylogo", e.g., "thisismylogo.jpg". Then, during checkout, you will have the option of sending your orders that way.

Q. My order got lost in the mail. Whose responsibility is that?
A. We have no control over what USPS and/or UPS does or doesn't do. However, if your tracking shows non-delivery, we'll redo the order at no cost to you. We'll make it our responsibility.

Q. What are the filter boxes for?
A. Restrict the action to file names containing that string. Leave blank to see all files.

Q. How did you come up with your name, "The Photo Square?"

A.	1. Much of what you see is in squares -- your directory, mosaics if you choose to create those
	2. Square (n) a central place to go to get many needs met
	3. Square (adj) a bit retro, with emphasis strongly on function over glitz
