Pat, I think you hit the nail on the head with that statement. I have people ask me the
same question.
Obvioulsly cheaper is better. The prints must only be for quick viewing then stored.
My local Shoppers Drug Mart sells 4x6's for $0.29 and the quality,at least in my
opinion
after several
try's,was crap. Major dust spots, muddy colours in both sRGB and RGB. i now use Future
shop at
$0.39 per 4x6. That $0.10 makes a world of difference.
Probably because they have hired people like Bill Robb,Bill Owens and Butch Black that
know what
they are doing.To these dedicated print pushes,I salute you.<vbg>
