If a job coupon is active when generating the contact sheets, it will appear on the printout. If the coupon expires beforehand, it will not be shown.

Advanced settings

  • Quality (Normal, Medium, High): Use “Normal” to avoid delays or timeouts.
  • Background: Choose a default or upload a custom PDF background. Ensure space is left for fields like names or codes.
  • Maximum number of photos: Limit to 2 per sheet for best clarity.
  • Show watermark: We strongly recommend enabling this option to protect images.
