I recently had some nice photos taken of my daughter. I would like to get copies made. I don't like how Walgrens develops, and I don't want to do it online. I live in the city. Does anyone know a place that will make nice prints for me?

Helix or Wolf/Ritz, if you have either of those near you.

Hi J.,
I know that Wolf Camera downtown Chicago makes nice photos.

All the Best!

I have a degree in photography, so I am picky about where I have prints made. Most workers at cheaper places like Walgreens have no real photo knowledge or training, which means either bad or inconsistent results. I regularly go out of my way to use a Ritz / Wolf at 1919 N Clybourn Avenue. I think it's worth the extra cost.

Spectrum Photo Lab, 3111 N. Lincoln Ave, ###-###-####

It's a small, independent lab, and they really care about quality. Their prices are comparable to the corporate chain places. I'm a photographer and have used them for years.

Costco does really nice prints. My husband is a Photographer and we often get our prints from there. Very good quality.
The only thing is if your not a member there and make sure you don't have them do anything coloring correcting to the photo. The photographer would have already done that.

Try Wolf or Ritz. They have plenty of locations where you can order in store and they are pretty knowledgable about their stuff there.

Try Target. They do a nice job with snapshots and not too expensive.
