I know I've aked a few people here before, but I need more feedback as I just can't come to a decision.
I shoot for a local racing series and am considering printing on-site but have the following concerns.
1. What's the best printer, that is archival? I assume 5x7 and 8x10 will be the most popular choices.
2. Probably the most important to me, do you feel quality suffers from having to worry about getting the cards to an assistant and get back out there shooting? Frankly some of the guys I've seen doing on-site seem to put quantity over quality and I just can't do that.
3. Lastly, obviously prints will need to be cropped, how does turning that over to someone else work for you? I'm such a control freak when it comes to my portraits but feel I may be able to let go a little, particularly since my wife will likely be the one doing it.
Note: This racing series is all one day races. I have done some extensive marketing and feel fairly confident that I can get them to my website, but I just hate to think I'm leaving a lot of sales on the table because I didn't do on-site, plus others are doing it at some of the other series that these guys race in so I'm getting a lot of inquiries about it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
