Hello guys
There is an art gallery in Washington DC called Addison Ripley, don't know if it known or not. They contacted me and showed interest in buying 3 of my landscapes i shot last year in Kaghan Valley. I was not sure if quality from 10MP camera (400D) will fulfill gallery standards, and as i have never ordered images online from EZ prints for myself i don't know how my photos look when ordered through smugmug, especially if printed 20x30 inch, nor my monitor is color calibrated:dunno. Trust i have in Smugmug forced me to avail this oppertunity that is going to increase weight of my CV:D

Today i received email from manager and she praised print quality and said these are exact results they were looking for. Thanks to Smugmug and guys behind this printing stuff. She was also surprised with order process at SmugMug:wink

Some of you already know this news via facebook, but i wanted to announce here after listening from gallery. :thumb :thumb

Thank you everyone for great support

    Awais,

    Good news for sure. Remember while you may not have all the technical resources you need locally, you have them here.

    I wish you continued success.

    Congrats Awais. I think you'll always be pretty safe ordering prints through smugmug- I had a client that wanted a 16x20 made with an 8mp camera, and they did beautiful work. The magnification was no problem at all.
