Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
Pricing depends on print quantity, size and quality of paper. We specialize in prints larger than 8X10, but can provide you with smaller sizes if desired. We can supply you with a USB card so you can get smaller prints from drug stores, etc. General prices per size, without quantity discounts, on Resin Photo Paper: 11X14-$20, 11X17-$24, 12X18-$28, 13X19-$29, 16X20-$38, 17X22-$45. Special in-between sizes are priced at .12 to .13 cents per square inch, depending on size. Price includes fixing, minor spot retouch and partial or complete free delivery in most cases. Archival papers at slightly higher costs. These prints are created on an 11 color photo inkjet printer with superior color fidelity, inks and papers; tonal quality unseen in printers with fewer color banks! We print some of the World's Best Gallery printing on some of the Best World Class papers!! Quantity discounts available. We have lower prices for student project work. Need to see school card. Special Discounts apply for Charitable Foundations. I can send you needed information about paper selections, price description, project details, etc. by text or by email.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
First, we can meet so you can show us what you need and we can explain what we can do. We can then show you paper finishes to give you an idea of what finish and paper type best suit your needs. Then, you can give us your image card or Images can be sent through e-mail. We print, then deliver; free for certain distances. Also, we use pro copy cameras if an artist needs to photograph a large art image for reproduction. $35 for copy work. We can provide a USB card of the image if you need a print larger than our 17X22 maximum size limit. Any Editing available at extra cost. We provide dry (not wet) mounting to provide you with the best professional mounting, if desired. We apologize in advance if we are a little slow on messages. We are probably on an assignment, and will get back to you as soon as we can. For quickly needed decisions, a text on the phone will alert us to your immediate issues.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
Produced Visual Imaging all my adult life. Graduated from Kent State University, Business Major, cum laude. Have been a free-lance professional or have worked for companies of the Visual Graphic industry as a talent, manager and sales representative. Sometimes all 3 at once! I love working on image creation! My work comes mostly from technical or creative thinking, not graphic computer crutches.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
First job was at a Commercial Art/Photo Service in Cleveland when I was 19 years old; servicing the advertising agencies with high end art/photo image projects. Have continued creating or servicing visual images ever since, full and part-time. I love this kind of work and won't stop what I love until God tells me...

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Many kinds of individuals and companies in Retail and the Professional Imaging industry. I was a sales rep for many of the Cleveland imaging pros as well as selling for myself. I have met ALL types of customers, most of who were very knowledgeable about what they needed from me. What they didn't know, I taught them.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
List is too long. Will describe if customer asks.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
Not many professional photo print services in this area. All of our work is of professional visual quality using archival inks and papers; printed with the highest quality of photo inkjet printers in the world. If you want a special wall hanging image using special materials, I know of other good firms that do that type of work. We sell the printed image on papers only.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
1) What are they using the image for? This directs us to the best papers for the job. 2) Does the image need editing? 3) What size do they want? 4) If the image they want is too big for my printer, can I tell them who can print it with comparable quality? Yes.
