Absolutely unacceptable photo-printing quality! I went in to print photos for my driver’s licence and somehow managed to witness a masterclass in how to ruin a perfectly good photograph. For context, the original image was taken with my professional 61-megapixel camera. The result? A dark, blurry mess where you could barely distinguish my eyes or lips. Apparently, 61 megapixels are no match for this establishment’s printing equipment. Quite an achievement, really. The lady at the desk kindly attempted to print it again using another printer. The sharpness improved, but the colour calibration was apparently on holiday. My skin tone came out GREEN. Not slightly off, not a little too warm- green. Perhaps the store is already preparing its Halloween specials, because the result looked more suitable for a zombie costume than an official identification document. 🎃 I genuinely struggle to understand how a business can deliver printing quality this poor and still consider the job done. Blurry images, terrible exposure and completely inaccurate colours. And here comes the best part: this is a business that has been around since 1886. Almost 140 years in business, and apparently the technology needed to print a sharp, correctly coloured photograph is still a work in progress. One would assume that after more than a century, producing a decent print would be the bare minimum, rather than an ambitious technical challenge. I brought them a high-resolution photograph and left with something that looked like it had been faxed through three different offices in 1997. I appreciate that the staff member tried to help, but goodwill cannot compensate for equipment that produces such unacceptable results. If a professional camera cannot deliver a decent print through your service, perhaps the problem isn’t the photograph. Save your money and go elsewhere. Unless, of course, you specifically want your perfectly good photograph transformed into a blurry, underexposed, green-tinted disappointment. In that case, you’re apparently in the right place. 😊
