    Hi guys, had a quick search but most average joes want "cheap", and I don't know enough to know what the serious photographers need from a printers - but here's my request for help:

    I have 5 digital photo's I need to print (8x10 ish probably) for family and friends.
    These will be going up on a wall and staying there for many years.
    I definitely need them before Christmas, so I have a preference for bricks and mortar.

    Where should I go to print these, with quality and longevity in mind?
    I'm in Limerick, so if you don't know Limerick but you think I should look for a shop with equipment X, then that would be helpful too.

    TIA

    got my stuff printed from photobox and framed perfectly by cummins framing on thomas street(limerick)

    was expensive but he said the glass used would prevent colour loss
