I am having a baby in a few weeks and wanting to decorating the nursery. I found some images that I would like to use and print but would like it to look good by using a good quality print and paper. Something that will give a nice decorative appearance.

I would buy vectorial images and manipulate them. Just not sure if I should print at Kinkos, or if there are online services, or even at home. I have an HP photo printer. But don't want to look like poor quality home printing on regular stock paper.

Any suggestions? I really appreciate.

Thanks
 
Welcome skuba.

How are your prints going to be mounted / hung?

And what size are you going to print?

The kinkos-type dry ink toner prints will be crisp, sharper than your older hp photo printer. If you print on a heavy stock, they will be plenty durable and will hold up well, no fading to speak of.

If you print larger on a big inkjet you will have more choices of stock at these quick print shops - canvas for example, but the cost goes way up per square foot.
 
  • Thanks. I wouldn't print very big, maybe 12x10 or something like that.
