If you have ordered from me before, you already have an account with me that also works with Studio J!!! It is important that you "register" and not just sign in as a "Guest". Studio J will keep your projects for 90 days when you are "registered" with an account, (which doesn't obligate you to anything) but, not so when you sign in as a "guest". If you are signed in as a "Guest" and you log out your work will be lost. If you have registered and are signed in your account, when you log out, (even in the middle of a project, as long as you click save) your "active projects" will be saved for 90 days. You extend the time for your "active" projects by 90 days each time you make a purchase, and your purchased projects will remain archived for one full year after purchase. Signing up is free and takes seconds.

You extend that timeline for your active projects by 90 days each time you make a purchase, and your purchased projects will remain archived for one full year after purchase. We’ll email you when your active projects are set to expire so you can be sure to purchase them before they are deleted. - If I already have a profile with my Consultant’s MyCTMH site, can I use the same account?
Yes. Your account works for both MyCTMH and Studio J shopping. - Do I need a printer that can print 12" × 12" pages to use Studio J?
No. Your Studio J layouts are not available for you to print from a home computer. In fact, we take care of the printing for you. When you purchase your designed layouts, we print and ship them quickly and directly to you using only top-quality silver-halide processing and archival papers. - What kind of printing or processing is used when I purchase Studio J layouts?
Studio J layouts are processed, not printed, using a silver-halide process considered the highest standard in the photo developing industry. Unlike printed papers or images you might print from a home photo printer, the silver-halide process yields “100-year+ quality” that has long been tested and used by the top photo labs in the world. We use the same papers and equipment used by leading labs to produce long-lasting photo prints, so you know your layout will be reproduced with high fidelity and will last throughout the years. - What are the shipping policies for Studio J?
