Hi jimjams: I am just a hobbyist photographer and occasionally print some of my photos to display. When I first started out I printed on an all-in-one printer. I have since purchased a Canon pro 100 and now use that. Just this last week, I viewed two classes on Kelby One. The are: "How to Make Beautiful Prints in Lightroom Classic" and "Essential Tools and Techniques for Making Beautiful Prints". They answered so many questions - I wish I would have had these many years ago. It would have saved me a lot of frustration. "How to Make . . ." goes step by step through each step and menu in the Print module. "Esssential Tools . . ." talks more about the process of sending photos to an outside printer, as well as how to prepare your photos for printing. He also goes over considerations for choosing a printer. Hope this helps.

On the issue of printing, I’m interested in the opinions of my fellow hoggers. I Would like to get some printing done, and I want print quality that provides a true representation of the photos. My D500 photo quality is extraordinary (compare to lesser instruments like my iPhone), and I can see no reason to have such a fine and expensive camera if the end result could have been rendered by a coolpix. Is jpg the best format? Where do you find a printing company that has the capability to reproduce the photos accurately? Do you download from your editing program directly to a flash drive? (I assume that details are lost in the electronic transfer to a flash drive, and even more if the pics are emailed?)? Do you have a recommendation for a personal printer? (I’m going to buy a laser printer for my business). I’m sure I’m not asking enough questions because I’m not knowledgeable in this area, so if I’ve missed technical details, please give me an education!
As usual, I’m grateful to this forum for giving me such a powerful place to ask my questions, and to each of you who take the time to share your experience and knowledge!

Forget shit places like WalMart or CostCo. Look at Mpix and Bay Photo Lab. You will be surprised how inexpensive large prints can be.
