Quick digital printing question

[JKH]

Hi folks, I need to have a quick 11X14 photo quality print made from a digital file. Any recomendations in the Houston area? I need the print back in my hands Friday.

Thanks,
John

you can go to our web site and use internet dropbox to ftp files to us. depending when we receive them, you get prints same day or next at latest.
or you can email files to us.
we are in the north houston area.

Thank you both for attempting to come to my rescue. The rush photo job was for someone in our office and our Graphics department took over for me. I'm not sure where they sent the file, but all seems to have been taken care of. I'll be interested in seeing the quality of the print.

Bill, I'll for sure try out Photographic Techniques. I've used an out of town service a few times (with the ftp process), but I'd rather keep my money local.

Just for future reference (if you need a large print) - ASAP Photo in a small strip mall at Hwy 6 @ Williams Trace in Sugar Land does fantastic work - FAST and VERY VERY REASONABLE. They can make prints up to 40" wide and as long as you need them... They can also mount the print using the cold method - much safer than the places that "melt" the board on...

Their number is 281-980-6071 - ask for Jenny or Mike.

Ditto !

I use them too, I allready had email him the info. I use them for all my Printing, the owner (Mike) also runs the show, he keeps very busy, and sometimes when I have been on the wire and need 8X12 yesterdat, he has done it on a waiting time for me or even with in 30 minutes, eventhough they close at 6pm he ussually has the doors open pass 7pm, it helps that I send him files ready to print so they do not have to spend time adjusting, so he does what they call "Memory Dunp" they love that as it frees up time for them if it is a long run and they can get it out fairly quickand at a good price!

abel,
yeah, we offer panos from 30 inch wide to 150 feet long on real photo paper.

as for previous post, if max width is 40 inches it must be inkjet, ok if you want a print life of 8-10 yrs. (standard inkjet widths are 24,36,42 60 etc)
yeah, manufactures advertise 100 yr life (under dark storage) truth is UV rays, ozone and other contaminates in the air play real havoc on prints. hence real life is less. "real" photographic paper is time tested and proven for the longest life.

just came back from dallas for nephews graduation. brother paid $1600 for inkjet senior portraits (watermark on back) told him to return photos and demand "real" photos or get refund. so sad that this generation of photos won't be around for the next generation, due to greed.
