Obviously you have computer so why are you not searching the printer reviews?

If he is like I am, I read reviews, but almost always get more useful information from those I trust who have experience with a product. I trust the info I get from UHH members.

Once again, 'printer' means a device used to print.

The correct terminology in the photography world is photo lab, color lab, professional photo or color lab, or giclée service bureau.

The term 'printer' DOES mean a company in the context of an offset lithography, intaglio, letterpress, web offset, or gravure printing company.

I worked for a company that owned both types of businesses. Never the twain shall meet... under the same terminology.

If you look at the original post (https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-803711-1.html#14545850 ) and the responses to that post you'll see there was no misunderstanding. I don't think terminology was an issue.

Printer is a very general term. You could have asked for "Need Recommendations For Printing Services".

It is for anyone who uses precise language. The Op used the term ‘Printer.’ ‘Lab’ is what he wanted. Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it.

In the past few years I have been disappointed nay disgusted with most makes of printers, where their only quality is in wasting the inks that they sell you at hugely inflated prices. Exception - I use a Canon Pixma 3 in1 which serves me well. BUT I have read reports from other Hogs which would disagree - and so I did not respond to your request.

He is not asking about printers.

In whose world. It was a complete misunderstanding. It wasn't until he clarified it that he got the answer to the question he was asking.

Go back to his original topic. His respondents understood what he meant. Why didn't you?

Why should there be need to "Go read his original topic" when he is specific in the second topic what his request was in the first topic - quote - "I recently posted a request for advice on printers"
