Hi Ashton,

I use Paypal and have not had any problems. I use the email invoice service which works quite nicely for me. Customers do not even need a paypal acct. to pay. As far as printing, there are many solid options here in Colorado. You may want to work with one that is convenient for you to visit so that you can build a relationship. I use Fine Print Imaging in Fort Collins (http://www.fineprintimaging.com/) or rather their online service, which I have always been happy with (http://www.fineprintimaging.com/). Others here can probably provide better advice in the Denver area.

I second Randy's advice. I've used Paypal and I've had no issues. It's very easy for you to manage and easy for customers to purchase.

As for printing, I'm very partial to West Coast Imaging. They tend to be expensive, but the results are amazing. Here's a link to their site:http://www.westcoastimaging.com/

West Coast now has a sister site called Aspen Creek Photo. I haven't used their services yet, however their prices are considerabley lower. Their site is:http://www.aspencreekphoto.com/

You can email both sites to request free samples of thier papers and printing processes. This way you can get a feel for what they can do outside of having a print made for you.

Good luck!

Ditto on PayPal - been using it for years.

White House Custom Color does quality work and is very economical.

Denver Digital Imaging (formerly The Slideprinter) is a great local option.
