Persnickety Prints - My New Favorite Layout & Photo Printer
So I have some blank space on my walls. I desperately needed to fill them but I really really didn't want to pay $8 per 12x12 at my usual printing spot.
Then I discovered Persnickety Prints.
In the words of Sandra Lee, "Can I just tell you?" These people are FANTASTIC.
First of all the prices are perfect. Less than $2 for a 12x12? You've got to be kidding me! Secondly, the customer service is phenomenal. I emailed with Chari a bit regarding my prints and she was so sweet, kind, and extremely helpful.
So what did I order? I picked up several 12x12 and 8x8 layouts, three of which are framed on my walls right this minute. I was really impressed with the print quality. All of the colors in the photo stayed true and the print is vivid and eye catching. I was so jazzed, that I placed a second order for Mother's Day gifts. Again, the quality of Persnickety Prints is amazing. I have found a brand new printer for my layouts and I am ecstatic that it won't cost me an arm and a leg! I can save that money for exquisite frames :)

I have heard so many great things about them! I really want to order from them, but I just recently learned about "bleed." Fun, huh? None of my layouts account for that. How much around the edges should I expect to lose with Persnickety? Would resizing the layout and throwing it on a 12x12 (or 8x8) white background work to fix it? Thanks!
Amanda, I set up the machine and I am the main printer at Persnickety Prints. Most machines allow for slight difference in print sizes and alignments by overlaying the image over the paper to avoid having a white boarder. The problem with this, is you can lose a good portion of the edge of your layouts. If your layout has a thin border, the border can appear uneven or completely gone on one or more edge. Our goal, at Persnickety, is to print your image centered evenly with as little overlay as possible. You can be confident that your image will appear as expected. Our trim is less than 1/16 of an inch.
Thx Kenny! You said it much better than I could have.
Wow! The best that I've heard next to that is a loss of 1/4th of an inch all the way around! Off to pick some to print!
Amanda,
I couldn't even tell a loss on any of mine. They are that good.
Okay, I know, I'm all full of questions, but which paper works best for scrapbook pages?
Amanda,

Not sure what you are using now, but photo paper will always be the most archival and true to color.
