I never realized how important it is to carefully choose where you print your photos. Not all print shops are alike it turns out! Walmart and Costco print for really cheap but is the quality worth the extra cents you are saving? Look at this…
Agck! Super scary, right? Since I don’t use Walmart for prints, I borrowed this image from photographer Mandy Chiappini. She takes such beautiful, vibrant pictures and it would be such a shame to have them turn out dark and muddy like the Walmart version!
I have found two places that are easy to use and affordable but still print high quality. Try using one of the following for your special prints and see if it makes a difference!
Kodak Pro Matte http://www.kodakgallery.com
MPix http://www.mpix.com
Kari - Yikes…good to know! I’ve used mpix before and love the quality…I never knew Walmart was so bad.
Piper - Thanks for this, been wondering about that. Great tip!
Liesl - Whoa…really great info, Ash!
