[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have used White House color for a number of large prints, and they have been of very high quality. 16x20's and 20x24's, JPEG level 10 files. But then, I live in St. Paul and just drive over there to drop off a CD and back the next day to pick up the prints.
