Tumbled Stone Coasters!
Tumbled Stone Coasters are a new and unique item for your images. Your image is placed on a ceramic tile using a heat transfer process. These 4"x4" stone textured tiles work great not only as coasters but also as custom tiles for a wall!
Tumbled Stone Coasters can be ordered individually or in a set of four. If you choose the set of four you may select up to four different images, one to go on each coaster, or use the same image on all four.
A cork backing can be added to the tiles for an additional cost.
Because every piece is individually manufactured, variation will occur the texture of each tile.
If you would like more information about Tumbled Stone Coasters please visit our website for details.

The BRIdge Contest is a weekly chance to win
Black River Imaging products.
1 11x14 Metal Print
Metal Prints provide a durable, edgy presentation sure to excite any
client. Their modern appearance finds favor with many high school
seniors wanting to stand out among their friends.
Choose from two unique styles:
- Vibrant - We use a heat sublimation process
to infuse your image into a solid white high gloss surface making your
image bold and bright in all areas.
- Metallic Fade - We use a heat
sublimation process to infuse your image into a clear high gloss surface
causing the white areas to fade away and reveal the brushed silver
texture.
Our Metal Prints have square corners with the option to upgrade to
rounded corners for a different look.
You can choose to add a float block to the back which will
hold your metal print 1" away from the wall or order one without to
frame or place on an easel.
If you would like to string a series together with your own metal hooks
or chains, we can cut your choice of two or four holes in your Metal
Print before shipping.
This week's offer includes:
- 1 11x14 Metal Print
- Choose from Vibrant or Metallic Fade
- $30.00 value

Your Very Own Easy Button!
If you've ever attended any youth sporting events, you'll notice the biggest fans in the stands are the parents - their apparel is plastered with photos of their favorite player! That's why it's no surprise that buttons represent one of BRI's most popular sports products. However, without careful planning for the product specs, the end result can be more painful than sticking yourself with the sharp end!
Here are a few points to help you "pin" down the perfect button!
Three's a Crowd - Buttons are designed to highlight a single player. Trying to fit more than two subjects on a button makes it extremely difficult to produce a pleasing product that doesn't cut off heads or other body parts.
Can You See Me Now? - Most parents are more interested in showing off their kid's face and possibly jersey number. For most sports, it's far less aesthetically pleasing to try to fit a full length body shot on a button.
Nothing Alien About Crop Circles - Many photographers will choose to either take a separate close-up shot for buttons, or make a second, cropped copy of the original image. BRI makes this easier for photographers using our SportsPix software. When using the built-in cropping feature, simply click the "Copy Image" button to make a duplicate image of your original file. The second image can then be cropped tighter in SportsPix to capture that ideal head and shoulders shot. You can also change the orientation of the crop box to give a wider range of movement up & down. Remember to use the handy green cropping circle as a guide to see what the finished product will look like.
Add Some Flair - For greater impact, try offering our Pro Button series, which allows you to offer personalized buttons complete with the player's name and your choice of color scheme.
And remember, customers who prefer using the familiarity of a ROES-based system can also crop buttons quickly and easily using the Sports Design Software (SDS), available from our downloads page.
Game On!
