Digital --> Printed Digital Christmas Cards or photos Services?
 
Just wondering if anyone has found an online service they could recomend an online service that sends you photo prints from your digital files.. I found Kodak's Ofoto, and their prices look OK, but they only accept JPEG and I was hoping to find one that accepts lossless file types (.psp would be best of course ;) I have some old Christmas cards I've been restoring.. taking the rips/stains/gouges out and most are large enough for photo-quality prints (3000x2000 dpi) but my printer isn't up to the challenge, and the ink would fade and look worse than the original in a couple years Digital --> Printed Digital Christmas Cards or photos Services?
 
 
since you have psp then why not use the export option and upload it to studio avenue? I ordered some prints from there and they are of real excellent quality... it's the best print ordering option I've come across so far. It uploads directly from your PSP format, and features high quality viewing and printing options also. I am amazed every time though, I haven't a clue as to what filetype it converts it to... but it's super fast to upload, it appears lossless and is probably just what you're looking for. finally got my image in the mail... It was a vector image with lots of solid color, and a few gradients. Like I said in another post, the preview on StudioAvenue was highly degraded, as you'd expect when compressing solid colors into a jpg file. But, the printed copy I received looks excellent, no artifacts whatsoever... now I just wish I hadn't told it "Zoom to fit" accidentally, I've got an excellent 8x10 glossy of the center third of my creation ;) So, I'll probably use their service when I want PSP files printed... only downside is uploading multi-megabyte files to the server. As far as local printshops, I haven't really searched for any. I have asked Kinko's about computer files when I wanted to make some professionally printed Christmas cards, but the entire staff seemed rather clueless, saying that they only really know how to print things in PDF format (I'm sure they can do others, it just takes someone that knows how to use a computer). That's where my previous questions about PSP-PDF conversions come in.
