Open Topic, The World of Printing
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:06 pm
Good afternoon community members. As a little introduction, I am a biologist whom has been doing nature photography since I was ten. I also sell prints in a co-op art gallery. One pain point I regularly run into is print qualities in relation to costs to keep my margins down and quality high. I have been playing with a printing method to maintain high quality prints and lower costs. This is part of an entrepreneurship degree I am persuing, along with some personal career goals I have. Before launching and developing the idea further I wanted to reach out to communities and start a discussion on other peoples oppinions and experiences in the world of photo printing and printing services. After all my experiences are subjective, so expanding on what people value is useful. Bellow are some questions to prime discussion.
1: What made you fall in love with photography?
2: Do you use online photo printing services, don’t print at all, brick and mortar labs, or print yourself?
3: What made you choose to print at those services/with those methods?
4: Is there a time you ordered from those services and were not satisfied?
5: What do you wish would be an option when printing photos? Any dream ideas to push your work to new heights?
7: What do you value in a print?
