Advantages of Photo Lab Printing - Read on and know some of the great advantages of photo lab printing in creating invitations for personal or business use.
There are oh-so-many people in Dallas nowadays who prefer to have their invitations printed at the photo lab instead of commercial printing. Now you would wonder why because let’s say more than a decade ago, the choice for party invitations would either be going to commercial printers or just writing down the details of the party on a nice sheet of paper. It is either going full-blown or handmade.
Let us take a look at the evolution of the party invitation and the reasons why people would now rather have them printed at the photo lab instead of at the commercial printers.
The Cheap Printing
When you go to photo lab, it does not matter what the photo prints are for. Be they just prints of regular photos or party invitations, the charges are the same. So if you have an invitation with a layout that fits a 4R (4” x 6”) you still pay the same price. That is just so much cheaper that what a print shop would charge.
The Vivid Colors
Photo printing follows pretty much the same system for printing your invitation. That is why if you have a nice layout with great colors, your invitation will look really good. The colors are vivid and the images are sharp. Whatever your computer monitor shows you, it will look like that when the prints come out. That is why this is the most favored format for kiddie parties—the cartoon characters look amazing in print!
Quick Processing and Printing
Just like your photos, you can get your invitations in an hour, sometimes even less. Most of the photo labs nowadays offer the one-hour printing guarantee, but sometimes they can even turn it out in 30 minutes if there are no printing jobs before you. So if you go to the mall where the photo lab is located, you can still do some errands and come back after a while and your invitations are done. The process is very simple. If you prefer, you can buy envelopes at the office supplies store so that you can simply insert these photo prints. If you need to mail your invitations, you can do so on the same day so you will have to go out of the house only once. This is very fast and efficient service that will work best with your busy schedule. And the best thing is, you only get to contend with DFW traffic only once for this purpose.
Online Orders
In some cases, people would rather order their invitations online. They are still printed on photo paper, it is just that instead of going to an actual store, they can just place their orders online and never have to leave home. They can conveniently submit their designs by attaching them on the website or just using an existing invitation template. All they need to do is to put in the necessary details and their invitation is ready for printing. Payment is also convenient and secure.
A commercial printing company can bring you great looking invitations. But if you want just a few great looking invitations for less, you can very well choose to have them printed at photo labs. Commercial printers are great for huge orders of printed materials, not for small quantities of birthday party invitations.
