What is the difference between pine and Bamboo?
The main difference between our Bamboo and Pine blocks is the aesthetics. Both materials are of the same great quality and they print very similar to each other.
The bamboo can be slightly more matte than the pine with very fine grains through the print.
The Pine can have a smoother finish, however due to the natural nature of the wood, tiny grains are also sometimes visible.
Most people choose based on what they believe is more attractive.
Some people like the rustic pine others like the sleek, classy bamboo as it has a nice grain through it and side pattern. Bamboo is $5 extra per block.

 

My Photo was taken on my phone- is this ok?
Absolutely, the majority of our blocks are printed from customers mobile phones. All images are edited  by our photoshop experts prior to printing, if they see any issues with quality or layout, you will be contacted directly. 

 

My photo was saved off social media, is this ok?
Many of our customers print their favorite images from platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and they turn out great! Just keep in mind that social media photos are often not as high-quality as the originals, as these platforms reduce image quality to save file sizes.

If possible, try to track down the original photo from your phone or camera—the difference in quality will be worth it! Our team reviews every order individually, so if we notice any issues with the quality, we'll reach out to you directly to discuss it. If you’re unsure about your photos or would like us to check them before printing, feel free to email us at info@memoryblock.com.au
