Prints - metadata/info on reverse?

SunilDVR

Hi all,

I've not ordered any prints through SmugMug yet, despite being a Pro subscriber (I know, I know... I'm crazy ).

One thing which I thought I'd seen somewhere on SmugMug/DGrin, but cannot now find, is info on whether it is possible or not to customise whatever is printed on the reverse of your images.

I know most labs will print the filename, and sometimes the date/time of printing.

But is it possible, if I'm ordering my own prints through SmugMug, to customise this?

I'm in the process of adding IPTC data (caption and so on) to tons of images. SmugMug, as far as I remember from when I last played around with it, picks up this automatically and displays it with the image - great!

But it would be very nice if I could customise the printing options so that some of this metadata would be printed on the reverse of any prints order.

Something like

<filename> - <IPTC caption> - <EXIF date/time>

on the back of every print.

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

Sunil

You know... sometimes, just sometimes, I think I'm actually going crazy.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere... as soon as I'd posted in here, I find it - how embarrassing!

I hope this is of use to anyone else...

Hey Sunil,

Don't worry - I've had these moments as well and I'm sure it'll keep on happening.

Just keep in mind that the character limit for backprinting is 40 and that it's best not to try any special characters as those might result in the order not getting send to our lab until we fix it for you.
