Questions

Can I see my print before I order?

No. We prepare it after you order and email it to you. Ask for changes as often as you need. We print only after you approve.

What kind of page works best?

One flat, evenly lit photo or scan of one whole page, with every edge in view and the writing easy to read.

What changes and what stays?

These examples keep the letter shapes, spacing and small marks. The page background is reduced and the marks are set in charcoal. Faint traces of paper or ruling may remain. The writing is not replaced with a font.

Can you add words or a date?

No. Exact Mark keeps only the writing on your page. It does not retype words, add dates or fill in missing marks. A name or date already on the page stays.
