How to Contribute

We welcome contributions of images of pucks to be added to this site. However, we also want to ensure that the best quality of image is used to keep the site attractive and accurate. If you are going to send us an image, please try to follow the following standards:

File Type

JPEG is the preferred file type.

Image Layout

A flat image generated by a puck placed on a scanner is the preferred image layout. Pictures taken with digital cameras generally produce an image that is oval or has a reflection from a flash or other lighting.

Image Size

While we will gladly accept all images sent, to get the best end results, please consider the following. While we often set our scanners to produce images that result in smaller file sizes to save space on our hard drives and time when images are emailed or loaded up, detail is lost in the process. We would prefer that a full size image be sent. This allows us to edit the image on our end without losing much of the quality and keep the images displayed on the site consistent in appearance. This will likely result in a file size of 100 - 130 kb which does take a few minutes to send by email but it's worth the wait.
