    Default Print Lab That Will Print Xara File Format

    I have two Xara graphic files that students have created and am looking for a good photo lab that will print from the Xara file format. Can anyone please suggest one? We lose quality when converted to JPG.

    I think most print shops want them in PDF file format.
    Get out and do something. Find a group and engage with other people @ MEETUP.COM

    Xara exports to PDF. You could experiment with that :-)

    Welcome to TalkGrapics

    The more important question is how to you intend to print these images? And where, Kinkos? A commercial printer? A photo lab?

    Your profile doesn't mention where you are located so making any sort of recommendation of where to have prints made is moot.

    If I wanted to give a lab an image format, it would never be JPG but rather a TIFF. You shouldn't loose any quality with it unless, like other bitmap file formats, it is resized larger than its dimensions at 100% size.

    Like InfoCentral wrote, I would be preparing a PDF instead. However, some pure photo labs do not accept anything other than bitmap file formats, so check around. I would always pick one that does accept PDFs over one that did not, though. All other things being roughly equal (like distance, turn-time, cost, etc.).

    Take care, Mike
