I'm planning to start relatively small -- not going over, say, 8x10 at
first. My main concern is that the prints look nice and are on
appropriate paper. Wally World seems to offer a range of services from
"Here's your picture" to "Give us a couple of extra days and then you
can have a glossy picture". I'm mostly looking to simply get prints that
are suitable for framing for the time being, and then stepping up to
gallery-type prints if/when I start producing work that justifies it and
there's any kind of demand for it.
As of now, my composition is such that I still do more cropping than I'd
like, and I'd hate to get a large print made only to discover that the
resolution is sub-par.

Can you afford a pro lab? I do all my own printing up to 16X20. I've found the
price for having these larger prints done (from CD's) significantly less
expensive than they once were. Example 16X20 'prox $35 these days. Had been
about twice that, back in the film days, when that often included a scanning
charge.

Hi all,
As I mentioned in another thread, someone recently inquired about buying a
print and I was wondering if any of you might have any suggestions for good
resources to help figure out who to use for the printing, what to charge and
all that jazz. I really haven't the first clue as I've always just had small
prints made up at Wally World -- occasionally an 8x10, and the resulting print
is about as predictable as you might expect.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
