Printing Nudes

Having taken some (very) artistic nude and semi nude photographs the young lady in question would like a copy of one on print. Whilst I am aware that you can go to a supermarket photo printer and it will print off 6x4 and 7x5. Anything bigger than that gets printed off to a seperate printer where 'staff' have to pass it to you. I am not sure if this breaks any decency laws and alternatively is there anywhere i can get a 10x8 printed off? Thanks

You can see an example of the sort of pics I take as I have uploaded one. Anyone got a decent photo printer? Wink

Perhaps talk to the shop assistant about your concerns and give them the choice?

I've never had a nude printed but all my 'proper' printing is done by DSCL.

I suggest giving them a ring.

I suspect that they'll have been asked to print far more erm, 'creative' images than anything you're likely to send them.

10x8" is around A4 size.

You can pick up a decent enough A4 printer for around £65. Could be worth it in the long run.

My Canon Pixma has lasted me 15 years.

You could try a professional lab such as One Vision , Loxely Colour or Simlab

Use a professional lab, they will have seen a lot worse and it wont bother them

Actually thinking about it.... it depends how young.

If she is under (or looks under) 18 you may have an issue with some printers even if the photos wouldn't be classified as 'indecent' .

Professional labs won't bat an eyelid.

When I used to develop software for photo printing, I visited labs all over Europe and one in particular in Sweden... well, when the prints were moving round the lab at high speed they just blurred into "flesh" coloured Grin
