Why should you use a professional lab over a retail printer?

At Queensberry, we feel great photography deserves great printing, which is why we believe photographers should always use a professional print lab to display their work. Here’s why…

Pro labs don’t cut corners:

We use conservation quality papers and branded inks to achieve a better finished product designed to last a lifetime.

Stricter quality control:

We have an exceptional team of people, experts in their field and dedicated to delivering the best results. Our equipment is carefully maintained, serviced and regularly calibrated to ensure high quality.

Retail printers tend to work on a volume basis, aka quantity not quality. While you may pay a bit less, you can’t expect as accurate or consistent a result.

This is a partnership: 

Every photographer is different. We think of our clients as partners we work with to produce — not mass-market  — a truly handmade, hands-on result. We don’t claim to be perfect, but if the results aren’t what you expect we’ll do our best to set it right.

Your products market your business:

Which all leads to our next point — you’ll be judged by your work in print. In fact your products help market your business. When your client’s friends see your photography displayed on their wall or in their Queensberry album you want them to say, “Wow! Who took your photos?” A pro lab can blow them away with exceptional products that showcase your work at its best. They’re your Silent Salesmen.

Fit for purpose:

Our prints are designed to match the products we sell — size and aspect ratio, product-appropriate printing, album layouts, after-print add-ons etc.

Pro services:

At Queensberry we offer multiple services to help you maximise your time and business. From colour correction to album design we’re here to help. Read more about how Queensberry can help free up your time here.
