Even today with the web and email – you still need a bundle of prints to send out… which begs the question….. …..“where should I send to get my headshot photos printed”
Some photographers recommend one or two London repro labs – who might charge you over £100 for 100 copies… Then there are pro photolabs – who can do much the same – but do a much wider range of work too – and their prices are much the same or much much more! Or you might try a supermarket but few actually make prints that size instore or an online company – well they’ll probably print on the thinner non-pro paper – and still charge you a couple of quid per print – and the black & white prints they do will probably have a green (or some other colour) cast… Some printers offer to print headshots using expensive photocopiers – they can be good as you can print details on the back – but if you look close at them you’ll find a noticeable dot on them which make them nowhere near as good for many purposes… or even “litho” printed – which is fine if you need thousands… You could try printing them on your home inkjet printer – but you’ll quickly find they eat ink cartridges and coupled with the proper paper they’ll work out at £1 a print..
Students get an even better deal – just select the students prints and have them delivered to your acting school – we post every Thursday or Friday – and the saving comes from the fact that many packs will be sent to your school at the same time – not fancy codes or minimum numbers needed – just prove how clever you are by using us! We’ve even a special for acting students who are overseas!
