Large-Sized Images, Restored
& Enhanced, Specially Designed
For Print Making & Selling |
|
CREATE & SELL
VINTAGE PANORAMAS, PHOTOGRAPHS & PRINTS FROM HOME! |
|
Graphics-capable
computer printers have come of age.
Now you can easily create your own truly
authentic looking restored period prints, rare vintage photos and other
printed merchandise - which are almost identical to the originals -
and sell them in galleries, stores, swap-meets, antique malls, craft
fairs, on-line or a host of other outlets.
Print as many as you like and
sell them at a price you decide, framed or unframed. The opportunities
are varied, the returns high and the start-up small with
the price deals on our wide selection of individual
Subjects, plus our big wholesale discount on
5, 10, 20 or more mixed
subject
'Complete
Business Packages'
(including valuable
free extras).

Above:
There's no need to sell to just private customers -
businesses are also avid buyers of prints and photos! |
All you need is any photo quality computer printer plus suitable paper!
|
Best of all, we have done all the work for
you by restoring and optimizing
our antique image range and converting them into big digital
files ready for you to print beautiful, high demand
vintage panoramas, photos and prints directly from graphics capable
computer PRINTERS
(click on link), printing press, or
for on-site
trading. |
Photo Portrait Examples
- Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe and Thomas
Edison.
There's big money to be made selling authentic reproductions of
these very rare, restored photos!
With today's photo quality printing our enhanced images are even
better than the originals! |
Each
of our Restorations is unique, only available from us and is the final
result of several years of intensive restoration work. Unlike the
un-restored or digitally enhanced image compilations usually offered on-line,
which are unsuited to print-making - also beware of copyright infringements usually found in
these collections - our own professionally sales-tested photo
 images look like
genuine photos when
printed on glossy photo paper and are superior. We now offer them to you at a low
enough cost to enable you to quickly build up a wonderful range.
One framed print sale alone should be more than enough to quickly recoup the
minimal cost (only pennies per Master Image)!
Load the
images into your computer and start production!
Our
"Master
Image Files" are supplied on data DVD's, downloads and memory
sticks for you to Publish and Sell as many
Prints as you like. All you need do is select
which (or all) master images you wish to go into business with, load
them onto your computer and you're ready to start creating as many
money-making Prints as you like. They can be on the
same theme for specialized outlets, or you can try a variety for general
sales.
The choice is wide, and with a selection of our special
dealer
Compilations
you can start out gradually or launch
a complete range easily. Also if you want to start a Full Time Business we also have
big wholesale discounts
right now on 5, 10, 20
or more subject Complete Business Packs.
which include a manual full of hard-earned hints and tips,
including the fruits of our research into suitable types of paper to use
for the best results.
A WORD ABOUT DPI
- One of the most commonly asked questions is how
many dpi or what resolution do these images have, and the answer is a) each image is
entirely different as we take the time to make it matter instead of
adopting the common blanket approach, and b) as many as is needed to maintain the quality of the
original source material. A common misconception is that a high dpi also
equals a high quality picture.
Unfortunately that is not the case. A poor quality antique original will
remain just that, no matter how high the dpi of the copy is.
We could easily take the same image and turn it into 150dpi file or
1200dpi with just the click of a button (hence some
professionals' fixation with 300dpi as a 'standard' is
meaningless if no other factors are considered) . The only
difference would be an unnecessarily high file size in the latter case
while the physical prints from both would look just the same.
What is important is restoration and
optimisation coupled with good resolution - plus a good physical print size
(as is supplied throughout) without quality fall-off.
The latter all backed up by test marketing for actual saleability and
then offered at a bargain price. All of our collections are
suitable for normal A4 size printers and the results have
been sales-tested, while several collections are also
suitable for large format printers too if you happen to own
one (see individual descriptions). For more on the subject
of print size see our
Printers page.
Be wary of misleading dpi claims
Don't be
fooled by misleadingly high dpi claims for small or poor quality images. The fact
is, the images will still be poor - no matter how high the
dpi is - if the original is poor to begin with as dpi
doesn't improve quality it simply makes the original's
shortfalls plainer to see. Also (becoming increasingly common) high dpi
claims where the images turn out to be only a couple of square
inches physically! Any image can be
exponentially increased in dpi the more it is reduced in size and
the unscrupulous take advantage of that fact to mislead -
beware. For business purposes
also avoid amateur quantity-based compilations of what
invariably turns out to be low quality, unusable
small images with associated copyright issues - the more on the
disk, the less they're actually worth having as a disc only has a
certain capacity to hold good quality images. If it has
thousands of pictures as sometimes trumpeted they can only
be a few K each and of no practical use.
There's a lot of
nonsense talked, sometimes deliberately misleading, so be very careful
when buying from amateur sellers and don't fall into the dpi
nonsense trap. Better still avoid all the misdirection by only buying from the leading supplier - Timecamera!

Multiple Size Panorama Images
ALL the collections go the extra mile. Included
in each
Panorama type image
set
for example are up to three separate variations of each multi megabyte Master
File image, depending on the size of the original. Two are for you to print from
as you choose: Generally one is usually about 22 inches wide, the
other where included is up to 30 inches or more depending on the proportions of the archived original.
The former is ideal for Epson
panoramic or roll papers and their Inkjet Printers or similar. It has high resolution. The larger is ideal for Roll Papers, large format home
printers, printing presses or quality home printers with banner capability. Either can
also easily be published instead on any photo quality home
printer in joinable flush fitting sections - just like the archived
originals.
Panoramas look great framed.
There are many other options too,
including enlarging/reducing the supplied files as desired to fit any printer
output size. Also
included as a free bonus is a Multi-Megabyte file of the original un-restored image
scans, which will enable you to produce your own unique choice of size, colour
and degree of restoration if you have a few basic
skills.

Sales
are conditional that the product be used legally and not for the misrepresentation
of repro prints and photos as
being vintage originals...

Better
than the Originals
All our image restorations make impressive
talking pieces. With modern printers it is now difficult to tell real from repro
in this digital age, hence the growing popularity of digital cameras.
Plus our restorations
actually look better and larger than the antique originals in many cases and at the sizes
supplied these collectables are at their Best Available Resolutions.
The DPI rates vary widely depending on the vintage original and may be
anything up to 300dpi or so where beneficial, although the rate may
often be more than the antique original itself.
Rest assured, we have done our utmost to offer
the highest resolutions
and often, where the pictures we supply have larger dimensions than the
originals, you may also reduce them while maintaining file
sizes for a higher resolution (if desired). Bear
in mind that extensive test marketing has been carried out selling the
Prints on a retail basis before offering them here in collections.

Test It Yourself
DIGITALLY printed photographs are now practically
indistinguishable from the 'real' thing using
today's Graphics Capable Printers - now with our enhancements digital
vintage
photos can be even
better!
Logical Step
Forward
It's a perfectly logical step forward to utilise photo
quality
printers for the making of reproduction collectible and
antique prints and photos which, again can be an
improvement on traditional methods such as letterpress
printing with it's
usual
tell-tale dot pattern or micro cross hatching.
Especially when our images have also been uniquely
restored and enhanced for digital print making.
Can you see a difference?
Take one of
our digitally-enhanced photos or lithograph
Master Images from any collection, print it on our
recommended photo
quality stock using a standard photo capable printer.
Then take a
good magnifying glass and try and tell the
difference between a real lithograph, the digitally
printed Timecamera one and a repro made by a
traditional printing method.
Only the latter will be
obvious as a reproduction by its dot patterns.
Our enhanced images are of real and rare Prints and Photographs.
All you need is a photo quality printer to turn them once again
into real prints and photos - plus a little imagination.
We could persuade
cynics with words, but there's no need when the proof is plain
to seen. Try it yourself - and then get in on the
ground floor with this new and exciting, digital age business!

TERMS
OF USE
THE
LEGAL STUFF
BEFORE you start making Cash from the
collections, naturally we feel it very important to
protect our own rights too. Unlike other image
collections, all the Timecamera images have been
painstakingly restored and enhanced for Print
making and are unique to us.
Note the following
Terms are kept short, concise and readily
understood but are nevertheless
based on Copyright Law in its entirety and
under which Law the collections are fully
protected. Interested parties may easily research Copyright Law in depth on-line should
they wish:-
"By
making a purchase of any Timecamera image collection which includes
Print Selling Permission you are
automatically granted an individual and non-transferable Licence
within these Terms,
i.e. 'Permission', along with use of the
exclusive Master Image Files for making any number of individual physical 'Prints'
(onto paper or any other printable surface) to keep or sell by way of
retail or wholesale business.
Selling of the images by
digital means for an end user to
make prints from themselves is not permitted but they may be displayed on a
web site for the purpose of advertising and for
customers to order actual Prints from if they are displayed in a reduced size and resolution to avoid illicit
copying by third parties.
Such
Permission as above is not given if an item is stated to be for
'Personal Use Only' (which may occasionally be a stipulation
with certain Free Bonuses). Being 'free' such elements are
included as good will only and are not considered to have been
'purchased' as such along with its associated image collection.
By making an
image
collection purchase you are not
granted transfer of ownership of any image copyright, which
shall remain with Timecamera at all times as our proprietary
product and accordingly you do not have permission to copy, re-sell, market, illegally distribute
or otherwise mis-use the
supplied media or individual digital image files in contravention
of criminal and/or
copyright law.
Neither, for your legal protection, may you grant
use of the images to other persons and are not authorised to
offer any form of 'rights' or 'permissions'
in relation to the images to other parties.
Each of the
unique Restorations is
digitally encoded in binary,
and
has been date-registered at the Writers & Artists
Guild Copyright Office. As substantially
improved restorations
and/or enhancements of antique or public domain
originals they are thereby rendered unique to
Timecamera (TM).
Copyright on both our restored images and/or our
original scans of privately-owned source
material where included, plus the DVDs or
digital files remain the property of Timecamera
(TM) and infringements have and will
continue to be pursued under international law.
Note every endeavour is taken to ensure public domain status of
images before we restore and enhance them and they are offered
in good faith. However, we are happy to remove any image upon
approach when it shown that copyright is still extant We
recommend customers do the same and conduct their own copyright
research on individual images before investing in commercial
reproduction, particularly in relation to free gift/bonus items
which are supplied on a personal use only basis.
Your
making of a purchase, either directly or via a Timecamera web
site is deemed an acceptance of and agreement to abide by both the
non-negotiable Terms of Use
and also the Terms of Sale.
All purchases are for the use of images only, as proscribed
above, and do not also include a right to receive business or technical
advice."
Purchasers are
entered into a database of permitted users and compliance of the
Terms is monitored in the interests of
all our business customers.
There
is scope for healthy profits
without negating our small return for extensive restoration work and
we request co-operation in protecting
both
parties' interests by reporting Copyright
infringements.

Downloads Information...
 |
A
WORLDWIDE DOWNLOAD OPTION has
been introduced for most image collections and this is proving
especially popular with long-haul air mail customers in the USA, Australia and
and many other countries, not forgetting users of no-disc-drive devices. |
No matter where you
are in the world you can now get
exactly the same content
via download instead of on disc quickly and safely
(all files clean and fully checked). A Secure Link to get your download/s will be sent
to the same e-mail address you use during payment. Click on the link and you can then save the collection/s to
your computer when it's
convenient. It's easy enough for anyone to do!
NOTE, many of our
collections are now available by
Instant Download at our new site
Timecamera.net
Our Extra
Large download files (those involving several Gigabytes) take just an hour or two to set up manually before
e-mailing your link but normally all links arrive quickly during normal
business hours. We have
a commercial account with 'WeTransfer' for the largest collections and
for those your safe, secure personal download Link/s will arrive at
your in-box from this well known and trusted host ready to click on and start downloading to
a chosen drive. If you do not see it in your in-box please check your spam
folder.
We recommend you keep a back-up
file copy in case of need so there's really no need for a
disc at any stage - particularly as image use is licensed solely to the original
purchaser anyway and discs cannot be used by others.
Significant Saving
We have also managed to offer a significant price saving when you
choose to download, despite the
high cost of memory-intensive file servers. Most collection downloads are
currently available at a discount price, making
them excellent value for money -
and of course with the download option no extra is ever required for shipping &
handling.
Downloads are carefully checked as being clean and safe and are
sent as zipped (compressed) files. Each is
uniquely coded to your purchase and the system confirms when you have received
your links, holds the files for a reasonable period and then lets us know when you have successfully downloaded
them.
|
DECIDING
WHETHER
TO BUY ON
DISC OR
DOWNLOAD |
Downloads
have so many
advantages over disc purchases it is difficult to know where to
begin. Yet the fact is there are a great many traditionalists who prefer a
disc they can hold in their hands, believing it is something they can fall back on as a back-up.
The truth is disc media is unreliable as it requires careful storage to remain viable
over a period - away from heat,
radio sources, magnetic influences, humidity, warping, scratching
and many other factors. Too often the disc 'back-up' is found to be
unreadable after a period. Additionally, unless image files are
particularly small, most cd/dvd disc drives will struggle to read and
transfer graphics of any commercial size unless given a great deal
of time to complete the task, especially if the drive is old.
Transfer To
Hard Drive
That is why we always recommend that if images are bought on
disc they immediately be transferred to a hard drive on receipt anyway for
actual use. Also that a periodic back-up be made. It makes sense
therefore to buy your collections via download to start with. Not
only is it much cheaper, saving on both the original cost, plus shipping
and handling, but being direct to your hard drive (same day) it also
cuts out the transfer step. Ultimately it will always be a matter of
personal choice but downloads - which incidentally all have
exactly the same content
as the discs - do have the edge when
all the facts are weighed up, as increasingly testified by our
sales ratio. Try it - you'll soon become a download convert! |
* NOTES -
1.
Timecamera restored image collections mostly comprise physically large Master
Images with correspondingly large file sizes. This makes our image collections
bigger when compared to most others - sometimes totalling several gigabytes - hence
our downloads are not 'instant' as such but require a short delay
for us to set up. When your
file/s are ready for download your links will be sent (usually within just an
hour or two during normal business hours). Higher professional quality/size naturally means they may
also take
extra time to download.
2.
The download servers are checked daily for optimum operational efficiency but it
is the customer's responsibility to ensure they have an adequate broadband
internet connection with sufficient bandwidth available for downloading large
image files.
3.
All image collections are subject to our Terms of Use, shown above right.
4.
HOW TO OPEN A ZIP FILE:-
Zip files are merely compressed files or
folders which save space when sending
download files. Try double clicking on the
file to see whether your computer has its
preferred way of uncompressing them or
failing that visit Google and enter the
title of this note to get plenty of sites
offering free guidance. One such is
https://www.wikihow.com/Open-a-.Zip-File-Without-Winzip
which offers several quick and easy ways.
5.
It is important to note that storage space
is of course not infinite and Links are kept
for
one month only or until they are
successfully downloaded,
whichever occurs soonest. Once your download
has successfully completed the transaction
is thereby concluded
and the link is removed for security
reasons.
