Can you recommend online printing service?

I need some business cards, brochures, and a few name tags for trade shows.
I have the files already, which I designed using Illustrator CS4.  I tried Vista Prints before for business cards and the quality was poor.
What about brick and mortar stores?  I'm in Charlotte NC.

Since when is digital printing not actual printing?
This is reminiscent of the people not too many years ago that considered that offset printing (as oppsed to letterpress and gravure printing) was not real printing.
For short runs which may be less than 1000 copies in some cases, high quality digital printing such as you can achieve with products such as HP Indigo, Kodak Nexpress, and Xerox iGen and Docucolor can in many instances be a much more economically viable solution with no perceptible loss in quality.
Let's keep snobbery out of this discussion!

  • Low Resolution when uploading to online printing service

    When I upload photos from iPhoto to an online printing service (Walmart, Costco, Shutterfly) photos show up as low resolution. When I take the picture I use the higest resolution. Are there any suggestions on how to rectify this situation? I have uploaded and printed before with no problem. Do I have to use the memory stick directly to the site or change settings?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How are you going about uploading?
    Are you digging the files out of the DATA folder in the iPhoto Library Folder? If so, you're using the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display purposes.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    I suggest you use the File -> Export option and export the pics to the desktop. There iPhoto will make a copy. Upload that, and when the upload is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.

  • Online printing services and that built into Aperture

    Hi,
    I regularly have pictures printed by a well known high street photo store here in the UK but just recently I've been disappointed with some of the results.
    They're coming back too dark and with a yellow cast even though the original files look fine when viewed on several different modern monitors, some calibrated, some not. I even run my monitor at minimum brightness when preparing them to try to simulate how dark they will look when printed using this service. I also add much more exposure to some pictures in Aperture to the point where they start to look washed out and even then they come back a bit dark.
    I'm therefore looking to find an alternative service. Can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable online printing service that produces results close to the electronic versions viewed on their monitor?
    Has anyone tried the built in "Order Prints" option in Aperture? How did it go?
    I briefly tried to use this option last night but for some reason it didn't recognise my Apple ID which I thought was the same as I use to log into these forums ie "d60Dave" in my case. Am I mistaken?
    Regards,
    Dave.

    I second that about photobox. I've used them for 2 years or so - never had to send anything back. I've been pleased with the results for prints, posters and small booklets. online service only

  • Can anyone recommend online flatplan software

    can anyone recommend online flatplan software where several users can update and view the flatplan online and place pdfs of finished pages please?

    Unlike MacGunt, I have used Bento and love it. With the little bit of work I did at IBM using M$ Access, I found Bento to be head and shoulders above it. Access always seemed kludgy to me at best whereas Bento is an honest to goodness database manager.
    Seeing as how I retired now I don't have any business usage for it but I do it find it very useful for the club work I need to do.
    Two features I like are the templates which cover a broad range of database usage. I would think that one of those would be able to help you get started with your business needs. The other is the app which allows me to have the Bento database on my iPhone.

  • Export for online printing service question...

    Hi all...I am new to all this exporting business so please bear with me. In the past if i wanted prints made i just burnt them to a disk and took the disk to a local photo lab to have printed. So the question is when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting? I noticed the default dpi setting is 72 for all the export presets. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...Dave

    hello, dave
    quote: "when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting?"
    when someone else is doing your printing always ask them how they want your Versions delivered first prior to burning the DVD, for example, 16bit TIFF, 8bit TIFF, colorsync (color mangement), dpi...there is an excellent tutorial/information on this in Aperture's help menu "Photography Fundamentals"
    what i do is edit the photograph by softproofing to the printer used. in Aperture select the Proofing Profile & then Onscreen Proofing

    I am running Firefox 3.6.24 on a Power Mac G5 Quad, OS 10.4.11. I have to run Classic. Can you recommend a browser to use since you won't be updating 3.6 anymore?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher.

    '''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

  • Can you use CORBA Naming Service with javax.naming.event.EventContext?

    Can you use CORBA Naming Service with javax.naming.event.EventContext?
    It seems like it doesn't work. When I try to do something like
    EventContext eCtx_ = (EventContext)namingCtx_.lookup("");
    I'm using JacORB's naming service.
    I just want to clarify that I cannot or can use javax.naming.event.EventContext with CORBA Naming Service.

    Can anyone tell me if it is doable or not doable.
    I looked at the COSNaming SPI, and it seems like it doesn't implement javax.naming.event.EventContext.
    Am I correct or not?

    Can you buy a 3G service without having the 3G ipad2

    Most carriers have plans in which you purchase a 3G or 4G modem that lets any WiFi device connect, much like a wirless router at home. The data plans are more expensive but you can connect any Wifi enabled device to the 3G or 4G network through the portable modem.
