Hi All
We opened out studio about 5 months ago and have been doing really well, despite the current economic climate.
We've manage to keep our prices down and part of the reason that we've been able to is because we use Photobox for our prints
When we first started out, the print quality was good, though we did have to send a few things back.
As time has gone on however, the print quality seems to have gotten worse.
In the studio we shoot 99% of our stuff in High Key and on the laptop, the images look punchy, colourful and nicely contrasty. The prints that come back however are anything but. I don't know what to do.
We've thought about Loxley, but they are just too expensive at our price point.
Could it be the way that we are managing the images in post production?
All the images are shot in Raw, tweeked and then uploaded as full res JPEGS
We don't have a monitor calibrater, but we have calibrated by eye using a method that Loxley told us about. When we load the RAW files, we use the colour profile that was set up for Loxley printing. Could this be the issues (pardon my ignorance)
Anyone else had any similar issues or any ideas?
Cheers
Steve
