Hi Guys..

A local person from Antrim has purchased the following print from me and wants it A3 size.

Should I print Glossy or Matt???????

And was thinking of using Photobox.co.uk and views on them or anywhere else you can recommend for the same kind of money??

Thanks for your help!!!

Why not ask the customer which he would prefer? As for Photobox, I have
never used them so cant really comment, are there no local printers that you
could use? If it is only a one off I wouldnt say they would be too expensive.

Thank you Jenny for your advice

I was going to use out local printing shop but phoned today and a woman told me the shop is no longer really trading due to the owner having a very serious illness. He is a really nice and friendly man too :(

I was advised not to print glossy if it is going undr glass so as to minimise reflections.Cheers

i would agree, also, matt can look very dark for night shots in my experience, i would be tempted to go semi gloss, and if being framed professionally ask them to use lead free glass to reduce reflections.

hope this helps
