    Hi all with more and more customers asking for colour photos and spending a few quid on istock and fotolia can any one recommend a good disk as there are many to chose from i.e the ones on a deal in the online shop

    Image Library Premier

    Image Library Gold

    can any one recommend one as its hard to make my mind up and do you know if you can get a list of images before I buy

    thanks rich 😀 😀 😀 😀

    not sure of the names you mention mate but there seems to be a fair bit of specials on image discs in the discount shop area.

    buying disks in a mine feild when it comes to images. sure as sugar, you have a million pictures but the one you want isnt on it. 😕 :lol1:

    save your money and buy or create as required.
    even the food disks are a pain cos the customer says things like we dont have tomatoes with ours or we do chips with them.

    Rich, we have some disc’s but you can bet what ever you like, you haven’t got what they want, so we just buy them as and when, at least when you have bought them you can re-use them, and they don’t cost much when you compare buying a library for £100 + for 99% that you won’t use 😀

    I’ve used image disks before – with mixed results.

    In the end – I’ve started to tell the customer to go to istock…pick an image and tell me what they want…charge it at ‘face value’ cost to them, and keep the image (well, I bought it) and any savings I made in the x credits for £x system.

    Saves spending endless hours trawling through your own images or online wasting time in a non-productive pursuit…let them waste two or three hours one evening…and they’ll get exactly what they want.

    i have a food disk, i do not remember who we bought it from exactly, but it was our first image disk ever. i have used it many times and even use it till this day. the idea is to get a disk with relevant content. fast food covers everything. so a disk on fast food is a safe bet and so on… i.e. the disk we have has baked potatoes, pizza’s, burgers, hotdogs.. etc etc so you are gauranteed to need it at some point.
    ill ask andrew where we got that one. i think it was an ingram disk or one of brian hays at impact. probably brians though…
