About Us
We got our start in 1986, with Sharp Photo & Portrait, a local photo shop in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. As an independent photo printing company we had one mission: offer quality prints at cheap prices without the gimmicks. In 2013, we decided to leverage the efficiency of our photo lab to bring our discounted prices to customers nationwide. And so, Sharp Prints was born: a cheap, online photo printing company.
Precision Prints with Cutting-Edge Technology
When it comes to photos and film, we’re kind of fanatics. We use the latest (and greatest) lab equipment made that only the finest photo processing labs in the world use comparable equipment.
- Our Noritsu prints with a laser print engine on 12-inch paper up to 36 inches long. This permits us to print super sharp panoramic prints in sizes from 4 inches tall by up to 36 inches wide.
- Our Fuji Frontier uses the latest software as well as a laser-print engine printing 12 inches wide.
- Our Chromira printer can print up to 30 inches wide by 8 feet long! This printer is one of the newest in the United States and enables us to print genuine photographic, silver halide prints which very few labs in the country can produce. Anything 16x20 and larger is printed on this Chromira machine.
Our lab equipment makes our photo processing not only extremely high-quality but super efficient, allowing us to pass savings on to you with incredibly low costs for prints.
Grounded in Midwestern Values
Our company is situated in Northern Wisconsin, an area sometimes referred to as “fly-over country.” We feel fortunate to call this humble region our home and headquarters, where our workforce demonstrates a distinct Midwestern commitment to diligence and efficiency. This dedication is what makes us able to meticulously craft high-quality photographic prints and products at the best prices.
