Printing question

    Hello all,

    Well I worked out my flash and got the pics I wanted (440ex on a long cable with diffuser and gels), now to print! The obvious bane of the digital photographer is getting what you have on screen to paper, this is my problem at the moment. What is my best bet, I don't have my own dedicated printer as yet. Can anyone recommend either a good printer for high quality shots (they will be 8x10's) or a good lab that will do small jobs and discuss the prints before I commit?

    Thanks for all the advise so far

    IMO firstly make sure your monitor is calibrated....without this addressed you will be wasting your time worrying about print solutions. (as printed colours wont match that of your screen) - can't stress how important this is if you are after best possible reproduction from your screen results.

    Up until recently I was using the Epson R2400 for small jobs at home - great printer, great quality. I have heard great reports on the Canon pro 9500 (10 colour, seperate inks) which is expensive but well worth it if the budget stretches.
    Regarding an external solution to your print needs are you just looking for someone who will do it with decent results on 'standard, good quality media' or is it a more specialised requirement (special media and printing?). If the first option I must say that I have had a decent enough solution in the past from the likes of Photobox who use a decent Fuji pro paper on larger format jobs.

    Best of luck in your decision!
