Customers are always asking me where they should get their images printed and Michael Wickman who is also a photographer pretty much sums it up with the below images and text.
He says:
"I was curious to SEE the difference in quality between my pro lab and one of the local quickie labs. The results were pretty noticeable. I’ll show you the difference. The top picture was produced from the quickie lab…notice that it’s over-saturated, shows color casts, and has a muddy appearance. The bottom picture was printed by my pro lab…see the difference? During the course of a year I take hundreds of snapshots of my family. So, no doubt I end up printing lots of them for keepsake albums and to adorn the fridge. I’m guilty of using the quickie labs for this. Why? They’re cheap! I’ll probably always order 4×6’s from these labs. Will I ever use them for anything else and enlargements? Probably not.
So, while I continue to give out a CD of high res images with your package, keep this in mind when thinking about making enlargements on your own. The quality difference is very noticeable when you can actually SEE a comparison!"
If you are wanting something quick and don't have 2 days to get something from the professional lab I completely understand. We are all pressed for time and want someting right now and not have to wait. As most of you know if you order prints off of my website they get to you quickly and the quality is like no other. It is worth waiting and paying a few extra cents to get better quality.
Until we meet again,
Kendall
