I rarely print my photos. I’ve had all sorts of trouble trying to get good prints from the labs, and going into the trouble of color matching every single print machine just didn’t really appeal to me. So the whole concept of printing has been somewhat distant… until today.
What was new that happened? Not much. I just got the following shot printed on Fuji Pearl paper:

| From 2008-08-11 Hiking in Altai Region, Russia |
I can’t describe how much better it looks than any other prints of this same shot I’ve tried before. Costed me $35+tax for 12″x18″ in a local print shop (Houston Photo Imaging), and was worth every penny.
P.S. I’ve got a few more pics posted from the hiking trip where I took the above shot – click here to check them out. I had a pre-production version of the Promote GPS for beta testing in that trip, and most images in that album have geotags in them. The place is a Belukha mountain region, about 5 miles from Russia-Kazakhstan border. What a place… I gotta get myself back there some day.
