Photography Question 

Karen l. Monte
 

Selling Photos


I just wanted to ask. If I wanted to sell my photos what is the best paper to print them on? Is there a lab that can do this, any labs you can let me know of that would help. I would like to blow them up for people but not sure how to go about it.

  Hi Karen!

I recently started selling pictures myself and I actually do not do my own printing. The paper that most places use is Fuji Film Crystal Archive paper. This paper is guaranteed to last 60+ years as long as it is not improperly stored or faced harsh temps or weather. Just make sure you get a mat finish or it will never do your photos justice!

Best of Luck!!

Heather

  Karen,

I do my own printing on an Epson 2400. I really like Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper. You can buy a trial size package and decide for yourself. I think you will be pleased.

  Hi Karen. I have found a lab that I love - it's called MPix. The prints are great and they are fast at getting them to you. I just received a large order from them today and not one problem.

Good Luck!
Brooke
