ASDA Printing

[donkeymusic]

Hello,

i needed to repeat prints from an event i did, but not time to send them away so have opted to print at ASDA.

Just took the memory card in and selected photos but the bloke on the stand said i needed to sign something to say that i was okay with them being printed even though they were my print.

Any ideas what i need to do?

thanks

I'm not sure I fully understand the question but it sounds to me like you need to sign the something that the bloke on the stand said you need to sign.

yeah but he didnt have anything for me to sign, said i had to come back with something signed to save i gave them permission to print

He sounds like he's just being a jobsworth to me. Go back when it's not his shift and you'll probably have no problems printing whatever is on your memory card. Or you could go elsewhere to get them printed.

Did you use their instant print solution , or the traditional one hour/24 hour service?

If you did use the kiosk/instant print option , the chances are it went through a Sony Dye Sub printer, probabaly a UPDR150. By the by.

I think he's probably referring to copyright jargon, as Asda have this policy, so he,s probably asking you for proof that you have taken the photos in question, i was in there a few months ago and seen the very same thing with a woman who came in and wanted some wedding pics developed, the girl on the counter told her she needed proof that they were her photos, while i agree to an extent it's the jobsworth thing, as they have this policy you may get the same response from any other member of staff, on a side note, if you need the prints quick and have a Staples near you i found their prints much better

I wonder if he thinks they are not your pics? Perhaps your decent shots mean "professional" to him and he is afraid you dont hold copyright on the images.

1/ Asda have a policy where they must clarify the copyright position, which I think is great as I've had a few punters had to come back to me for permission to print.

2/ When you get them back they will have 'ASDA' printed on the rear along with the file number etc, a big minus point if you are going to sell them on.
