It's true. People can be greedy And that can be good, especially
when it comes to photoprocessing. A little greed there can help you take advantage
of specials offering two prints from a single negative at a really good price.
Why two?
"People are discovering it saves time and money to have two
prints made at the same time," according to Roy S. Pung, executive director of
Photo Marketing Association International. "And if you've ever seen two sets of
grandparents squabbling over the same photo, you already know the value of getting
double prints."
Another reason for ordering two prints at once is economic.
The cost of double printing is usually lower than ordering single prints at once-a
savings that can be passed along to the consumer.
Double printing is also an effective way of providing prints
for both people in a photograph. Fine jewelry representative Pam Schwinn of Minnetonka,
Minn., goes so far as to have a print made for each person in every photograph.
"I've ordered as many as 12 prints of group shots just to be sure everyone gets
one," says Schwinn. "People really appreciate the little extra effort, and the
extra cost is negligible."
Multiple prints also make excellent thank you notes for guests
at a party. You can personalize them by adding a few comments on the back with
a felt-tipped pen.
As a bonus, multiple printing allows you to put one print in
the family album and still have one left for framing. No matter how you slice
it, double prints make for double fun. And that makes lots of happy people-at
a savings that will add up to plenty over the years!
