They suggest you don't print them yourself.
However, I did some of my own against an off-white painted wall. If done
at
a high resolution and quality, it's then fairly straighforward to
- straighten up any wonkiness
- resize and crop to exactly fit the various dimension limits (size of
picture, size and position of head)
- copy and paste several times to create 8 identical frames in a 6x4"
print
- send that 6x4 image off to your favourite photo printing service.
Make sure you do your measurements and scaling carefully - a calculator
helps!
The IPS accepted these (even though there was a bit of a watermark on the
back of the print, which is cotrary to their specifications)
