portfolio?

[suze23]

I need to start printing pics and putting them in a folder i can take round with me....

can anyone suggest a professional looking portfolio and where to get one from?!

thanks muchly?!

p.s!!! NOT expensive!!!

Hobbycraft are quite good. I bought one of these. The inserts (2 photos) were 49p each.

thanks marc

what about like an album? are they a good choice??

 

[Marc]

I suppose a photo album could work, but maybe not as easy to change around as a portfolio.

 

[suze23]

very true!

with the link you posted - isit 6x4 pics i pit in the wallets or can i use any size?


excuse my ignorance ive never bought one before i just did everything online. but promised a few people a portfolio!

 

[Marc]

The inserts are for A4 prints.

 

[suze23]

ok thanks.

im goin to send some pics off soon - will make sure they are all A4 now

 

[Marc]

If it's a portfolio for showing your work to others, A4 is probably about the minimum size you should go for.

 

[suze23]

ok thank you very much for your advice

im going to get mine done by digitalbpro??? they are saved anyhow - they the people to go for again??

 

[Marc]

Do you mean for the prints? Not heard of them, I use Loxley myself but there are plenty of others out there such as DSCL and Photobox.

 

[suze23]

sorry - yes for the prints.

i will check those out as i need one with a good, quick turnaround

 

[Marc]

As I said, I use Loxley and I usually get a next day delivery (Depending on the time of ordering and, of course, the whim of royal mail. ). I think Photobox offer similar, not sure about DSCL but would imagine the same.

Sorry, that doesn't really narrow your choice much does it?

 

[suze23]

no thats fab help thank you

jus joined loxley - they look good just checking out prices though!!!


next question - - - do i leave my (very small) sig in the corner of the printed pictures???

 

[Marc]

Personally, I would say no as the person you are showing them to will know they're yours.

 

[cosmix3]

Just to add, I use the same as Marc linked to, so another from me

 

[suze23]

they are really good quality imo

 

[suze23]

nice but i dont want to print off A3 sheets

a4 is as big as i need/want tbh. but thanks for the link -shame they have no a4 in stock

Have you looked at the kenro and seccol offerings on warehouse express, not a cheap option but look quite impressive.

 

[seashaker]

nice but i dont want to print off A3 sheets

a4 is as big as i need/want tbh. but thanks for the link -shame they have no a4 in stock

I print mine out a 15"x10" and put in the A3 folder, they fit in really well and the inch or so black border looks really nice but if you want a4 then yeah it is a little larger

 

[suze23]

thanks all

im going to get this done enxt pay day as its just forked out £70 for a dog anti bark collar so feel i should be careful with the pennnies for the next week lol
