Where to Print in Vancouver, BC?

jaieger · 03-26-2011, 12:27 AM

Hey all, just wondering - anyone know the best (for the $) place in Van to get some photos printed? Probably nothing huge, at the biggest 11x14 (+/- a few on the wide or long ends depending on the photo) or so. I want to print off my favorites at a decent size like that but out of the many camera places, as well as the usual london drugs/costco/etc, wondering what my options are.

Thanks!

Posterjack.ca. You can choose from a huge selection of sizes and formats. Sure, you'll get your prints shipped out from Ontario, but the shipping is a flat rate of $8.50 whether you order 1 or 101 photos, and I usually get my prints within a week of ordering them. As for image quality, superb! The only problem is if they somehow don't look like how you intended, you can't view them before you receive them like you can at a local lab. HINT: If you do print through Posterjack, send them a TIFF file processed from your RAW file (if you shoot RAW) and select AdobeRGB when you export to TIFF for the best results.
