Capture Time Press

Read full description

Put your own photograph on the front page of a vintage newspaper, in the city where it happened. Choose your location, choose one of four classic front pages, add your photo and a line of your own, and Capture Time Press composes the whole page on your phone at full print resolution. Wedding days, birthdays, new arrivals, first holidays, last matches. Anything worth keeping looks better in newsprint. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your city. Each one has its own masthead and its own real local stories set in the columns around your photo. 2. Pick a front page: Exclusive, Newsflash, Wanted or Welcome. 3. Take a photo or choose one from your library. 4. Add the date and a headline of your own. 5. Order it printed and posted, or save the digital edition to your photos. PRINTED AND POSTED Your front page is printed on quality paper at A4 and posted to you in a board backed envelope, anywhere in the world. UK orders go by Royal Mail Tracked at cost. Europe and worldwide orders choose standard or tracked postage at checkout. We print and post every order ourselves. THE DIGITAL EDITION Prefer it on your phone? The digital edition saves the full quality page, with no watermark, straight to your photo library, ready to share or to print yourself. YOUR PHOTO STAYS YOURS The page is composed on your own device. Your photo is only sent to us when you place an order, and only so we can print it. There is no account to create, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. NEW CITIES EVERY WEEK London and New York are live now, with new cities added regularly. Each one is researched and written properly, so the small print around your photo is true.
