Quick PHOTO question?

I know i've seen it done on pinterest with like, getting a blueprint thing at staples, but when i went to staples site they said they don't do photos.

I'm on a blog now where they give you a free print out, say to send it to kinkos and get it copied for about $5.

so, using logic, i should be able to make my own B&W photo w/text and send it to kinkos for cheap,, blown up printing, right?

this is where I went on staples site... it says not suitible for photos but I know a lot of people that have done it and have one set up for myself to pick up soon.. I have never seen any of them in person though so not sure how they turn out

It'd have to be VERY high-res...

oh cool!

yes ma'am. make sure it's 300ppi along with the original photo size and you're good to go.

save it as a .tiff, for betting printing.

oh i will. and i think we're gonna go through kinkos vs staples just cos they seem pretty dead set on not doing photo engineering prints
