I would like to know of printing services that anyone would reccomend. Is it unreasonable to not have to pay comission and such for my own work? I'm looking for something reasonably priced, but high quality. I know it exists...lol.
I just need some feedback ;)
Thank you all!
You're the best!

They are phenomenal with excellent customer service and 100% satisfaction rate. If you don't like your photos tell them and they will redo it to your specifics. They will even edit photos for you and send you a cd showing you step by step edits. Framing and other finishing options are also available and you can also have the lab ship directly to your client with a note from you printed and put inside the shipment. I have been 110% satisfied with this company. I used to use mpix before I found them.

I have had things printed with mpix.com and York. I would not recommend York anymore. My most recent order was cropped WAY off. The picture in my computer was no where near off. I sent it to mpix.com and was completely satisfied. I doubt if I will go with anyone else unless it is just something they won't do.

My personal favorite is Costco (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=81122), but you didn't tell us where you live?
Do you want to sell online, too?:

Exposuremanager: This looks good. Credit card processing is included.
15-day trial & $13/month; Customize your galleries
Exposuremanager allows you to upload your full resolution photos after an order has been placed. This gives you the option to do all color correcting and cropping afterwards.

ExposureManager - Compare services

imaculate: www.printroom.com customer service is phenomenal. No added fees to talk to someone unlike photoshelter. An assigned business consultant also part of their Pro services. Free software that allows to upload your images as thumbs and only send high res when orders come through. Great prints and products. If you sign up or interested, inquire about free prints first to test them. Free classes to help you out with everything. All of this for only a one time set up fee of $99 with no billing after that. No hidden fees and all I do get from them is a profit check. I signed up with them last year from a www.fredmiranda.com forum special. I think my account manager mentioned he's holding the same special. Give him a call and inquire this as well. His number is 888-868-4157 ext 8832, Eddie. Hope this helps you out as. If not, what the others reconmended should work as well. It all depends on your needs However I can comment photoshelter and exposure manager has dropped the ball on me or my customer too too too many times and was hard to get someone on the phone to get issues that were time sensitive, resolved in an expedited manner. Only had one problem with Printroom since my 1 year with them and they were the ones who initiated the contact of the issue. WOW.
