Animal art print sample comparison -Walgreens vs HP

Custom pet portrait wall art!!!!
8x10 print matted within a 11x14 modern frame
Close up glossy print from Walgreens $2 for an 8x10” (sale price) 
Walgreens prints-vivid
Hp prints-dull

Significant differences in print quality!
Darks print differently, chalky background not so happy with-
will need to change color code to create the proper look!

I have been meaning to print some sample comps and finally got around to this group of my art besties. 
I am pleasantly surprised at Walgreens print quality! The offer glossy prints online only and you can order matte for more money and time to pick up. That’s for another time. But this pink kitty cat vivid and bright print is very good and I suggest buyers to seek out Walgreens for all their art print (and photo) needs! 
Although the dark and moody raccoon is a good print, I am not happy with the chalky background-that will def need to be improved to fit the look I’m selling. Walgreens prints it a muddy color but the home printer actually printed good. It truly depends on your printer. And home printers are never color calibrated properly. You can count on local pro print shops and online shops to do the job right! 
The top photos are the custom pet portraits printed from Walgreens (@ $2 for an 8x10-that is a discounted price and they seem to offer that multiple times a year so always be on the look out for deals there!)
A full body pet portrait for less than $63 (right now bc of a sale that will end after April 30!)
is a super unique and special gift for a cat mom for mother’s day or a dog dad for Father’s Day coming soon! This one is an 8x10 glossy print for $2 from Walgreens so you end up with an affordable gift for mom or gift for dad for $65 that will probably melt their heart and will be something absolutely will treasure forever!
