  2. QUALITY - What type of prints are they? If ink, how long will they last? Do they have UV coating to protect them from exposure to light?
  3. GUEST REVIEW - Do the guests get a chance to see their photograph before it is printed? If not, do they get a reprint if they don't like it? Will that cost extra?
