Printing Labs - Logan Central Area'ish

Postby sunnylass on Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:21 am

I am booked for a 2 day event this weekend and have decided I need to organise some good quality prints to be able to show people on the day. My HP printer does an ok job, but I think its time I got some really good prints for my portfolio.

Can anyone suggest somewhere reputable to go? Not an online site as I need the results back this week and I kind of like dealing face to face.

Depending on the size you need, try the photo booth at Big W Kuraby.

These people know nothing about their system, as a result they change the chemical exactly as required, are too afraid to tweek the manufacturers settings and produce good quality prints quickly.

A word of warning though as with all of these places they do not do any colour correction so it may be prudent to do a sample run in the next day or so to see if it suits you.

If you're looking for larger prints I work in conjunction with a couple of friends, one for paper off a Epson and the other for canvas off a soljet. Both have great results.
All I know, is that I don't know enough.....

Thank you for that Tony, Kuraby is not far from me.

And I'm interested in finding out more from you about the paper and canvas printing you've mentioned.

I was looking at some prints yesterday, done by RGB digital (Woolloongabba) that looked very good. Also, I have had Digilab (Windsor) recommended to me, but haven't had a chance to use them yet. By all accounts, both places do very good work though.

Pro lab at southbank is brilliant.. they charge a little more but their prices are still reasonable... if your looking for prints for your portfolio I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them...

if your not too fussy and on a budget get yourself down to Harvey Norman at Loganholme.. not the one at Browns plains as they do a shocking job.. but the Loganholme store does a good job and they are dead cheap too..:)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)
