High Quality, Not Your Average One-Hour Photo
Hqprints was started in 2004 with a vision of providing high quality service and prints to discerning consumers fed up with the low image and paper quality of one-hour photo shops and self-service printers in drug stores across America. Sure, your prints may cost a few pennies more, but you will notice the difference. We don’t use “cheap and easy” tactics, period.
Demand Quality, Expect Results
Hqprints listened to consumer’s frustration for higher quality prints and expert service. We too were dumbfounded by the lack of printing knowledge found in popular corner stores. Customer service representative from one-hour and self-service digital printing machines rarely gave consistent information on the longevity of the print or took the time to help obtain the best quality from our prints.
Not Your "Average Joe"
Hqprints has more than 10 years of hands-on experience working with traditional and digital photography. At Hqprints, each print will be personally adjusted and color corrected to achieve the best quality for your digital memory. We work hard to provide you with a service above and beyond what you’ll find at your local drug store. Anyone can print your pictures, but do they have an eye for subject positioning and color correction? Are they photographers themselves? Will they go the extra mile to get the best from your digital photos? Hqprints is proud to answer yes to these important questions.
Our Papers Aren’t Afraid of Light
One of the biggest differences in Hqprints and our corporate competitors is the paper. We don’t jip you out of quality. We provide you with a sturdy 9mill paper that light won’t shine though. Our papers will outlast any that are run though a one-hour machine or a self-service digital printer. No matter if you hang our pictures in direct sunlight, in a frame with out glass, in a frame behind glass or in a photo album closed off to light, your prints from Hqprints will continue shine with brilliant colors for at least twice the amount of time of our competitors’ prints. Our competitors say their papers are archival, but what they don’t tell you is this is true only if you put the print directly into an album and close the cover. Hqprints believes you shouldn’t have to hide your prints to enjoy them for over 100 years*. Hang them up or put them in the window! We’re proud of our quality and you should be too!
