Suggestions on a Printing Co - 10-31-2006, 10:03 AM


I am not a pro but I am shooting a wedding the end of the month and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where I should get them printed? I want to decide before I give her prices cause I don't want to totally screw myself in the end.
I am down in Corpus so we don't have many options. From my experiences Sams has been the best here.
I am open to all suggestions thanks again
Breezy

there is a local place to get your stuff printed roosevelt baker downtown. their are two locations the small one i believe is near the malls. the one i recommend going to is on south alameda. if that doesnt work out for you mpix.com is the way to go. i have been to bakers many times and have bought gear from them. never prints. i would ask to see some samples. i believe that they do some sort of printing.

Thanks Huxley
They actually closed the one by the mall :(
I will check their prices.
It is really hard to find good but not exspensive since she doesn't want to pay "pro" prices if you KWIM.
I don't want to give her a disc either cause if she goes to HEB and prints them and tells people I shot them I would be horrified

Definatly go with MPix then. Their prices are pretty low considering the quality you receive.

Not for MPix. You can order a single 4x6 from them if you want.

OK a Dumb ?? coming.
On Mpix website it says they can burn the disc for you. My ?? is are they full resolution or are they smaller? If they are smaller do you know how small?
Sorry for all of the ??s

Right. You can't have more than one paper type in an order.
