I figured an ugly model would make the pic look better. Kind of like girls who prefer "less attractive" friends.cardiver wrote:Who's the guy in the suit holding your pic?
I guess someone had to take the picture of the picture......

I'll have to try a couple of the prints on metallic paper for something really nice. They sure are pricey in comparison but if I have something worth framing, it's probably worth it. The nice thing with Costco is that the 8x12 images are only a dollar fifty so I can cover my office in them and don't feel guilty hanging them with push-pins.enchantmentdivi wrote:Awesome!
If you are getting good results with Costco, you will get outstanding results with http://www.mpix.com. Their prints are slightly more expensive, and you have to pay shipping costs (usually a flat $5). But, if you order multiple prints at a time, the shipping cost is really no big deal. They usually ship prints the same day you order or the next day.
I highly recommend their "metallic" paper for underwater prints. It will make colors just pop! I also have found that I choose not to have them color correct (there is a box to check at check out), and the colors seem more true.
If you really want to splurge, try one of their canvas prints. It will turn your photo into a work of art!
If you "like"them on Facebook, they are always posting specials like 50% off metallic prints, etc. at least once a month on their page.
Thanks for the link. That's a pretty good price. I have a few of those clip frames on the photos in the background & I like them. Now I just need to save some pennies so I can afford to frame the 30+ photos I have hanging.dlh wrote:Check out Clipframes for a sharp and attractive framing option that is really cheap. Under $10 per frame if you buy online. I prefer to print at 11x14 and put them in a glass clipframe that is 100% of the size of the print. These frames are basically a sheet of glass, solid backing, and 4 metal clips that hold it together along each edge.
No cheesy pushpins, and it's easy to swap out pictures when you get tired of them.

I do my own printing with an Epson 1800 that prints up to 13x19. Probably more expensive than costco, but I can make prints on demand that are just as high quality. I have used Costco before, and looking side by side I can't tell the difference between the two.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the mpix.com tip- absolutely love the metallic pics they made for me!enchantmentdivi wrote:Awesome!

YAY! Glad you like them! You'll feel like you're slumming if you print at Costco now....Greg Jensen wrote:Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the mpix.com tip- absolutely love the metallic pics they made for me!
