Printing at kinkos

If i wanted to bring in some pics to kinkos that i made off of photoshop. What kind of format should i keep the pics in? and should i burn it onto a cd and bring it in or how does that work?

1. are there any other print shops/copy centers you can go to?

2. keep them in .psd format. (include layers in case your colors suck on their machines.

3. burn to CD, include all fonts.

4. will you be printing the artwork? If so, know exactly what papers, printers and computers you want to use first, since they charge you by the hour on their machines.

5. bring lots of money.

good luck! :D:D

dang its gonna cost a lot i just wanted to print out like 3 pics i made to share with the class. i might as well print using my desktop on photopaper huh?

Where are you located?

My experience with Kinkos getting proofs for someone: It is expensive to use their computers, and it was cheaper to use them (not do it yourself). Kinkos has a horrible record for upgrading their computers. Not sure about their macs, but when I was sending stuff for quick proof's on their laser machines, they were still using windows 95, illustrator 8, and Acrobat 4, so I couldnt print anything that had any kind of transparency on it. I found it is that way at a few of the Kinkos I have visited. I had better luck using a smaller print house - Minuteman Press (not sure if they have those there) They didnt charge me to open the files and printed them at $1 each regular size paper.

Versus the $16 or $17 I ended up spending on using the Kinkos computers for 6 printouts. Also the other print place had current software =)

coool. i have a print shop at school but i have never gone to it. I think i will just print using my hp deskwriter on photopaper its just for class so yea. i think that should be ok.

Photo paper is friends or claasmate, to show to friends, this is wath i do! Kepp in mind than most of them only print on regular paper sh you photo paper will rock!

The best paper to make these kind of printe are the one from Ilford, this not your regulrt photopaper...it pro stuff!!!

if you do end up goin to kinkos.... they charge extra if its not in .pdf form so bring it in .pdf and .psd just incase you need any quick revisions
