Advantages of using a Print Shop.

Why choosing a Print Shop is your best bet.

1. Cost

This may be the biggest factor in why to choose a print shop instead of using a home printer. The average cost of owning a printer is $310 a year, this includes 400 colored text and graphic pages and 80 (5 x 7) color pictures. If you need any specialty papers or plan to do some mass printing then the price increases and that goes up pretty fast. Sure you can buy a printer at your local electronic store for less than $100, but don't expect to receive quality prints from this machine. Also remember the high cost of printer ink and specialty paper. Print shops offer quality printing at competitive prices, some places even price match.


2. Convenience 

Many print shops today have online uploading so they are virtually open 24 hours a day. That means you can upload all your photos on the way home from your family vacation and have them waiting for you at the print shop.  
Another advantage of using a print shop is they provide knowledge and expertise. Most print shops have years of experience with the machines they are using and know how to provide you with the best quality prints.
If you don't have the resources to create, edit and enhance your photos or graphics take it to a print shop. Most print shops offer there own versions of templates and design tools that can help you create the perfect look.

3. Quality

Print shops have the right machines, operators, and materials, to produce quality products.  The printers used are high quality machines worth thousands of dollars, their business depends on them so they are sure to be running efficiently. The materials print shops offer are virtually limitless anything from a simple photo to t-shirts, window clings, custom stamps, business cards, and so much more. Satisfaction is a high priority in this business so most print shops will make sure you are pleased with your prints.
