WHY DO PHOTOS LOOK FUZZY OR GRAINY?

The images on the website are low resolution 72 dpi (dots per inch). This can sometimes result in some images appearing a little fuzzy or grainy. The low resolution ensures speedy upload of images (the more pixels/dots an image has, the longer it takes to upload on to the website).  Rest assured that products themselves are all high quality items and that all printed elements will have a clean/crisp/sharp finish.
