I have an order for an 18x24 print and I've only used Reed Photo Imaging in the past. They are kind of expensive--$80.00 for a lightjet print. Does anyone know a place in the Denver area where I can get an 18x24 print for a reasonable price? I don't have time to go to WHCC and set up a profile and wait for test prints. Thanks,

Jack

The Slideprinter seems to be on a lot of RMNPers' lists. Much cheaper.

Slideprinter has done a good job for me.

Jack,

Reed should only be $40.00 for this size of print if you have it ready for printing with their profile. Be sure to specify it's ready and you'll get the "economy" pricing which is considerably cheaper.

I second the Slideprinter!

I've used The Slideprinter (now Denver Digital Imaging) in the past with excellent results.

Photocraft will print that size for about $35 if you set it up for them using their profiles and specs. It's in Boulder, though...

My standard price for 18x24 Ultrachrome K3 on Epson Premium Luster is $51.84. Includes soft-proofing/color matching; you don't have to prep the file in any special way.

Archival inkjet for less than (inferior) Lightjet... how can you beat that?

Upload your files to my FTP server and I will deliver or ship it to you within a few days.

I've been making digital prints for over 15 years and have made prints for many RMNPers.... maybe they will provide an account of the experience?

Details on my printing services are at CoalsonEditions.com

Email me if you're interested and I will provide logistical details.

I have had Nat do quite a few prints for me this past year and have been really impressed with the results. It is really nice not having him take care of the color management. If you haven't used him, I would give him a try sometime.

I guess I should proof-read before hitting reply! I meant it is nce having him take care of the color management...
