Default Need basic info

Hello,

I'm looking for a website with general info about printing, inkjets, laser, Staples style prints, real lab work...

I tried out my local Staples print shop for the heck of it, and got 4 8X10s printed for 2.50$. I was really surprised at the quality for the price, but of course when you look up close you see that it's not real print.

And now, looking on random websites for info, I find myself overwhelmed.

Does anyone here know of a website with simple, basic info on all the many ways we can "materialize" our digital images?

Thanks

Loa

Try the FAQ from the most reputable labs and print houses, like Mpix or White House.
Help - Order digital photo prints online from professional imaging lab, Mpix.com
WHCC - FAQ

If you have specific questions, for instance about work flow, color spaces, or sharpening, go ahead and ask.

Believe it or not, some CostCo stores actually do a great job printing. Some even provide a link to a printer color profile for you to use if desired. Excellent quality, excellent prices.

your mileage may vary...

Thanks. Not a member yet, but I know a friend who is. I'll give it a try if I have the chance (nearest CostCo store is an hour drive away...)
