Question
I have a Digital Picture of my wedding witch I retouch a little bit on Photoshop, I want to print it on 8"x10" on Black and White. I tried CVS but I came out too light and on Glossy paper, that's the best they can do there they said. My friend told me that some Walmarts have an special printer for b&w. The picture size is 4MB Is that enough for an 8"x10"? I am looking for the best I can get without expending that much money. Any ideas?What should I ask in the store?? Any term I need to know??Thanks.

Answer
I have not found any satisfactory printing from stores. When I want to have black and white versions printed, I go online to giclee printers. Your wedding photo will be printed on archival quality paper, which means it will last for a long time. You simply need to download the image to the provider. Shop around on the internet for the best price as they have really come down over the past year. Two of the best sites for non-professionals are: http://www.imagekind.com http://www.cafepress.com Many sites not only print the picture, they will frame it, too, for a very good value. Just be careful about the paper you choose: I don't like glossy, either.
