    I don't. They always seem to fade no matter what paper I use.

    I hear these people are very good although I'm yet to use them.

    We only print pics if we want to print them A4 or larger to frame them. We just take them down on a USB stick to a local photo place and they print them for us for not much money. Much better quality than anything you could do at home.

    Most of what I do is for Pros. Main income is from canvas prints. Will have new website for uploading files for canvas and normal digital prints. Will be interesting to see how that side goes.

    I sent my images to print by pros who have very expensive printers.
    I cannot justify having a $ 7000 printer with 7 colors which cost more than $ 120 ea.
    My prints are A3 or larger.
    Having installed in your computer the profiles of the printers of the people that will do the job for you and also the profiles of the paper to be used will help to have a result very close to your requirements.
    You need to calibrate your monitor very well.
    If you cannot do that, then send your image in tif format with all the layers opened to your provider and they will adjust the colors.
    Ask for a proof to see if you will like the result.

    Cheers
