I bought a couple of the prints from Lens Work and they are indeed very nice. Jim, it might be interesting to see a sample price list showing prices for minimum order for a few popular sizes, maybe 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, for "colour" :-) and B&W. And also if you could explain how the proofing process work between the customer and the printer. Assuming you take digital input, how does the customer prep the file (dpi/ppi, color space, RGB vs CMYK ?, etc.). Also, what's the typical turn-around ? Thanks much ! - Phong
