This is just a small start to what I see this studo or lab performing. I would like to turn the "no" into "yes" sales that I actually benefit from financially and also for longer term framing and client acquisition.
That's my short list, and I'm sure I will come up wtih more as I research the project.Elaine
Elaine,
Do you have any printers or cameras yet? Do you have any training on photography and printing?
If you are starting from scratch, you can spend a lot of money in a hurry.
Just my little set up with two Epson printers, spare inks and roles of paper, iMac20, Color RIP, Adobe CS3, Nikon D80, Epson Scanner, 3 hrs of tech support, and other assorted goodies probably came to about $15,000 to $18,000 dollars.
Plus, I don't have any studio quality lights or a high quality scanner. It's on my to buy list soon.
The scanner Warren is talking about is fantastic, but it costs about $30,000 I believe.
To do what you are talking about I would think you would need some type of large MP camera, with studio quality lights, plus the high end printer.
I saw one such outfit at a trade show and the package was about $20,000 dollars.
It's not a cheap hobby to get into. IMO
