  1. Yes, there is an extra charge for "full service", so definitely use the "self-serve" printer whenever possible. PDF or JPG - both produce high quality prints whenever the images are high quality. (Important to check the save settings to ensure you are choosing "best quality".) The reason PDF (or Word doc) is preferable is because you have 100% control over the print size. If your PDF is 8.5x11 and you print it on 8.5x11 paper, you get exactly what you designed. A 4"x6" image in the PDF will print 4"x6". Just make sure you select 100% scale. A single JPG file, on the other hand, is simply printed as "best fit" on a single sheet of paper. Their "best fit" may include too wide white margins which is tantamount to shrinking your image.
  2. As far as I know, it's laser printing, meaning no wet inks. The color comes from toner powder that is melted onto paper (super high heat rollers) to create permanent water-proof images.
  3. ☺️Aww... thanks MariJ! It was your inspired idea to get color laser printing! BTW Amy, there is free shipping from Staples with purchases over $35 Cdn here in Canada, so likely something similar in Tennessee. $35 Cdn buys me 70 printed pages! And the money you save on sealer, ink, and ink jet paper for 70 pages, covers your Staples bill with extra money to spare! With 70 pages to fill, not only would I be printing beautiful papers and embellishments, I'd be printing photo enlargements, photos with masking and blending, birthday cards, etc. You could have so much fun putting together an 'all-you-can-print' buffet! Note: There are file size limits, so I would submit ten 7-page PDFs instead of one 70-page PDF (which would probably crash the computer anyways).
  4. This is an economical option if you put together several things you want printed onto 8.5x11 pages (300 to 400 dpi). Let's say you can fill 10 pages with images. Convert them into a 10 page PDF. Do not allow for any JPG compression that would degrade the quality of the images! Submit your PDF to the Staples online printing site for color laser printing. Select the ship to your home address option. I think 10 pages can be sent by lettermail so the shipping cost could be minimal. Please check the site's shipping rates for standard size paper documents. The cost of laser prints on 8.5x11 paper is a fraction of the cost of ink jet, so even with shipping costs, you may save money.
  5. As luck would have it, my friend took this photo which is predominantly yellow and green.

  11. You may have accidentally chosen a file format that isn't JPG.
