I have people ask me the same question. Obvioulsly cheaper is better. The prints must only be for quick viewing then stored. My local Shoppers Drug Mart sells 4x6's for $0.29 and the quality,at least in my opinion after several try's,was crap. Major dust spots, muddy colours in both sRGB and RGB. i now use Future shop at $0.39 per 4x6. That $0.10 makes a world of difference. Probably because they have hired people like Bill Robb,Bill Owens and Butch Black that know what they are doing.To these dedicated print pushes,I salute you.<vbg>
