2. Print Your Downloads
Next, upload your files to a printing service like one of the ones listed below.It’s easy and their site will walk you through the process. Some even offer delivery! If you’re confident in using your at-home printer, then by all means use that.
I recommend printing on thick, matte paper, smooth card stock, or giclee art paper.
Do not apply color correction.
A few options for great printing services:
- Wal-Mart
- Walgreens
- Fed-Ex – (only poster sizes, 16×20 or 18×24)
- Office Depot
- Mpix – (high-quality printing using giclee paper)
- Snapfish
3. Frame Your Print
Buy frames to complete the look. Target, Michales, and Wal-Mart all offer great frame options. But I also love the selections below. Order them when you place your printing order and they should arrive shortly after.
