I know this probably belongs in the technology forum, but I noticed no one has posted to that since May...
I took some pictures for some other people. I suggested two ways they could get prints. One was through the website I use to host my photographs. (I don't make money in this case, and the prints are good.) The other suggestion was to download the pictures and print them at the local Alco -- sort of a low-rent WalMart. They chose the Alco option.
They had trouble printing my pictures because they were too large for the machine. The files in their original size run 6-7 megabytes each. No problem, they figured, they just downloaded a smaller size. The smaller size turned out to be too blurry.
So my question: when you all get prints, what limitations have you discovered in dealing with the standalone kiosks? Are large files a problem?
I have good enough results with my own printer and I get awesome results through the website. I don't see why Alco had trouble with the same files.
