Hey Smugmugers,

I'm entering a few prints in a photo contest at my office... they've asked for prints... Specifically "Fine prints/ exhibition quality preferred."

They've suggested the following 2 labs in NY:
Lexington B+W
Website: http://www.lexingtonlabs.com/index.html
Address: 38 w.21st street 9th floor NYC
Phone: 212.633.9222

DUGGAL
Website: http://www.duggal.com/01photo.htm#prints (http://www.duggal.com/01photo.htm%23prints)
Address: 29 West 23th Street
Phone: 212 924 8100

I'd rather just get them printed from Smugmug... What do you recommend here? Is there something different that these labs would do, or can I just order them from smugmug?

Also, for entering in a contest, which finish would you recommend? The winning photos will be framed and hung around the office...

Thanks!

Andy

Hi Galla,

Link me directly to the photos you wish to print, so I can best advise, you, ok?

Saw the prints. The Sepias need more punch! See the Tutorials link in the navbar up there, on Dgrin's page :)

Print them on Lustre finish, True Color, via SmugMug.

When you are ready for print, show me again, by emailing ATTN: Andy at our help desk and I'll advise

thanks!

Thanks Andy... I'll look into it. I think I just the Acdsee "sepia" filter to do those...

Duggal? Wow... how big are these photo contest prints? :D

I ask because the founder of Duggal has a column in Digital Photo Pro and he always seems to be writing about using photos as building wraps (ie covering the entire side of a building!).
