BUYER’S GUIDE

Choosing A Lab




Local Or Internet


The Internet has given the means to order prints without stepping out of our front doors. Online print services such as Apple iPhoto, dotPhoto, Kodak Gallery and Shutterfly offer easy interfaces for uploading images from your computer to their sites.

Traditional photo labs that handle walk-in service also offer digital uploading, while labs such as Dale Labs, Imagexperts and Mpix offer reliable professional services.

Most of these services work best with a fast Internet connection. If you’re using dial-up, a local lab often will provide the best option.

Your local photo lab or even mass merchandisers may offer easy printmaking. Walk in with your memory card or a CD, and as soon as an hour later, you can have quality enlargements. Several stores even include kiosks that accept your memory card and allow you to make prints as large as 8x10 in minutes.

More Than Prints
Beyond the services of a simple 4x6 print, today’s labs can create T-shirts, coffee mugs, calendars and even bound books with your favorite images. This is especially true for Web-based labs. Whether the images are destined for a photo album or a framed gift for family members, a photo lab can complement your joy of photography.
