Windsor Local Print Company Comparison

When people ask why i switched from just offering digitals on a disk to offering prints, this is one of the reasons why! When professional photos are printed at consumer labs, such as walmart, costco, etc., you are not guaranteed to have the same quality in colour, sharpness and overall appearance that a professional photo lab provides. 

Professional Lab: Sharp, good contrast and same colour as the digital image on my monitor.
Costco: very flat, low contrast, yellow/white skin tone
Blacks: Sharp, very high contrast, over-saturated blue tones
Walmart: Paper is very thin, photo is grainy and colour is washed out
Superstore: Sharp and good contrast, but skin tones are very white and reds are over-saturated
