Machine Texture

Three types of machine texturing are available. Linen, the most popular texture, offers a finished, upscale look to your images. Linen texture is used in all print sizes, from wallets to larger prints. Pebble, a deeper texture, renders a larger print "complete", adding dimension and depth to the image. Pebble is also used on all print sizes by many photographers to prevent illegal scanning of their work. Embassy texture is a combination of the Linen and Pebble textures.

There is no premium charged for Embassy texture. Prices for texturing range from $.07 for 3.5x5 - 4x10 up to $3.74 for a 24x36.
