I have my pictures printed in Tronix Imaging Center. The quality of their prints is superb
using premium glossy resin coated paper. They
are cheap and fast and very good quality. So far
Pictures I had printed more than 4 years ago shows no sign of fading.

price of home based printing (inkjet based) is still high compared to photolabs. yes you could get cheap photopapers and maybe even continuous inks but definitely the quality will suffer. And photolabs which still use silver-halide based processing still produces better durability for photos compared to inkjets. I asked a local photolab printer here in my area whats the actual cost per 3r/4r and he said its roughly around 2 pesos only!

I love taking photos. I need to spend more money and get a decent camera though. Anyways, nice and informative content and your blog in general looks very cool. Keep up the good work.

I’m having problems with my printer C79. Hindi nya ma detek ang ink cartridge na ininstal ko..It happened once nung nag instal ako ng black ink (T031). Luckily pinalitan sa binilhan kong computer shop. Tapos nangyari ulit ito recently. Pinalitan ko na yung CYAN ink (T032), at hindi ulit ma detek ng C79 kong printer..Ano kaya ang may problema? Yung mga ink na nabibili ko, o yung C79 na printer ko..

Pls answer. thnks

I always go for commercial printing. Ask ko lang saan iyong nagpi-print ng size up to 12″ x 18″? I am into digiscrapping kasi and I need to print my projects, size 12″ x 12″. Thank you.

I go to commercial printers. There’s a good one in Astoria Plaza – DPI, I think. If I could afford it, I’d go for printing on my own. If properly color managed, your photos could look exactly the same printed as they do on your monitor (which would be such a refreshing change for me). Unfortunately, monitor calibrators cost at least 7k each.

In Saudi Arabia I may say that it is better to send it to Commercial Printing is cheaper and gives a better resolution.

It is expensive if you will print using your own printers.

But on the hand if you are only printing 2 to 3 pics it is more convenient to do it at home.
