Printing at the Photography Show

[keeweeman]

Just wondering if it is possible to get prints done at the photography show?
It would be nice to get a few a3 prints done of some of my shots but i would ideally like the chance to see the sort of quality and finishes that some vendors produce before buying so i am just wondering if any of the exhibitors offer this as a service at the show.

Cheers

I've not noticed that service being offered at the show, but there are usually a few stands demonstrating printers with prints being produced throughout the day - perhaps you could persuade them to print your images.

Nice one thanks, i saw that sort of thing going on at digital splash last year which is where the idea came to me from, i may take the photos i want to print on a pen drive/memory card and chance my arm, can't hurt to try and it's not like its a big weight to lug around on the day!

If you ask nicely you might even get a print from one of those large format roll printers, there's usually a couple of those on display.

as awesome as that would be my little office at home would be swamped by something off one of those , that said it does need redecorating so if i could get them to do 3 for me that is the wallpaper sorted...

Just a bit of an update on this but i spoke to Loxley last week and they confirmed they won't be producing anything to order at the show

There is a company fineartphoto giving free A2 print from new Canon 2000 printer. In real life its a A3+ once the large border is removed. And the queue is LOOONG.

It is easier just to order some from cheap ones from DSCL if it is for personal archive.

It's a bit late now - but I think if you are genuinely interested in buying the printers, they might print off something for you. They offered that to me at the Canon stand last year (on their paper of choice), but I didn't have my computer with me nor USB stick. I couldn't decide between their models, and ended up going up the chain to a higher model!

unfortunately i wasn't looking to buy a printer, i did have a look at some of the printing companies though so have a better idea of who and what is out there now which is something at least!
