Pro lab Printing Vs. Walgreens Article wanted

12 years 10 months ago #104884 by mklinejr
I am looking for a re-postedable (if its a word) article on the subject of "Pro Lab Printing Vs. 1hr Photo" I personally know and see the difference but I am trying to convince customers that where I have prints printed is much better in the long run than having a 1hr (or 30 second) printer at walgreens and all print them.

I have a friend who's been shooting film for a long time and he was telling me the same. You can see a difference in the sharpness of the photos processed by actual quality film lab vs 1 hour photo.

How about printing of a few samples so they can see it for themselves?! :)

That would be one way, so really is there a difference in the print quality or are we talking a difference in the paper that is used? I'm not up to speed on my film photography :whistle:

Thx Stealthy Ninja I didnt really think of that yet! But i am also talking about the quality of the paper and the lasting over time and that just can not be shown until to late ( or maybe I can)


Superman I do shoot film sometime as well but I am talking mostly about the printing , consistency of color, quality of dyes and paper used to with stand years of not so perfect storage.
