Difference between professional photo printing and high street brands
Why print from a professional photography printing lab vs high street shop? Is there any difference?
Why should you Print with us?
Your Photos are Worth it
Ok So let’s see how professional printing changes your life for better?
Let’s take your wedding as an example. You spend months selecting your wedding dress, suit, organising the most spectacular venue, carefully select flowers, wedding invitations — every detail is chosen to perfection. Everything from the venue to the cake, you’ve put time and effort and money into. All of these decisions took time research, venues and vendors were interviewed and you’ve chosen the best of the best.
You have spect thousands of Pounds on all that, including feeding all the guests with the most exquisite meal, you have even selected a photographer who has captured all the day beautifully and you you shared a tear or two when you received your gallery and then decide to go down the high street shop to print an album or couple of prints that will fade in the next 5 years on your wall??? Or bough an album what would fall apart after looking through it 8 or 10 times???
The time, effort, and love put into creating your perfect wedding day, and then receiving gorgeous photos should not end at the self check printing machine! Your memories are worth more than that!
Now, let’s say you’ve booked a newborn session for your long desired baby that you love more than anything in this world! Ahead of the session you’ve paid a professional photographer, bought and coordinated outfits, maybe had your hair done, got up that morning, got everyone ready despite sleeping for only 3 hours that night. And Why? Because you really love that baby and want to keep the memory of him for life, right???
These moments were meant to be preserved in images and these images are meant to last for generations. Your prints should too.
When you have purchased digital images from a professional photo session and you want to know where to print them… Let us help you understand why printing with a professional photo lab like ours is more beneficial every single time.
Quality over Quantity.
You know the saying, quality over quantity.
It’s true that you may be able to print MORE photos at Tesco, Snappy Snaps or online discount photo labs for the same price as printing with a professional lab but what is more important? I’m sure you’re tempted to spend £0.25 on a print from that high street store, what a great deal right? WRONG!!! There are great pharmacy’s, grocery stores are excellent for so many things like paper towels and products at great prices, but these places know NOTHING about printing professional photos.
A professional printing lab gives you the best possible print. Your photographer is trained to see variations in color and contrast. We know exactly how your image should look. We know that what we see on the computer screen will go to print at our lab exactly the way it should. Professional photo labs employ trained and experienced technicians. We are able to offer a variety of products using quality and consistent materials. Photographers use professional labs that pays attention to every detail going in to printing your images. The quality of the chemicals used are monitored, color and density of the photos are analyzed, regular maintenance and calibration is done on their printers. Everything is regularly checked and rechecked. The printers themselves are top quality and actually imbeds the colors of your photograph into the paper.
Imbedded colours DON’T FADE, don’t scratch, don’t turn yellow or green.
The paper and ink used in a high street shops are of lesser quality to keep their costs down. There is sometimes a huge loss of detail or a complete color change from what it should be. Most of these places use an inkjet photo to print which means the ink sprays on to the paper, unlike quality printing which imbeds the colors into quality photo paper used at professional labs.
Because my aim is for you to enjoy your photos for years to come! I want your photos to stay crisp, sharp and with great clarity so you can show them off to your children, and grand children too!
High Street Shops may provide photo prints with a lower price tag but you’re going to get what you pay for.
Cheaper is not always better, most especially in this case.
Going with a budget lab and finding that the cream blanket under your newborn baby printed yellow with a twinge of green is going to lead you to spend additional money printing a higher quality print with us. We have seen this. Don’t pay to have your photos printed twice!
