Where do you order prints from?

cinci-photo · 21st of July 2006 (Fri)

I use a local lab/camera dealer for my prints. They are a little pricey. I've been given winkflash.com as a source. Their prices are good, but I wasn't happy with my first set of pics from them. It may have meen the photos themselves, so I'm giving them a second chance.

Does anyone else have a reputable online service I could try? I would be using this for my customer's prints, so they would need to be quality, long lasting prints.

Am I being to greedy to want to keep my prices down or should I just stick with my local labs?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Try White House Custom Colur

I use them for the majority of my customer prints.

Thanks guys. Anyone else?

Whetever I don't print myself (like when I need a ton of prints) I go with mpix. I too am very happy with their work.

I use winkflash and have been very happy with the photos I have gotten back from them and haven't had any problems with them so far. I also tried Mpix and was happy with them. There prices were a little high for me though.

Yeah.... Winkflash definitely has great prices. The first set of pics I got was disappointing. I had already printed them out somewhere else and they didn't mathc at all. I'm trying them one more time because they are so affordable - especially the shipping. I should get them back within the next couple of days.

Does anyone know know of anywhere else? How 'bout Smug mug prints - are they highend enough to sell to customers?

Smugmug isn't bad, but Mpix is better. I just had some prints made for an exhibit and a couple of competitions and couldn't be more pleased.

I just ordered $15 worth of 4x6's and 5x7's at Costco to pick up tomorrow. I will see if they are worth anything.

Me too

Thanks everyone. Looks like mpix deserves a look. The only downside I see from their site is the shipping charges. But if the prints are that good, then I'll have to live with that.

Suzy..... Let me know how the prints from Costco turned out. I'd be interested in knowing.

Thanks again.

I ordered some from Shutterfly and was happy with them.

coreypolis · 22nd of July 2006 (Sat)

I order mine from the nice big epson sitting next to me, but if I had to do an noline order, mpix or costco (usig proper color management) would be the way to go

vjack · 23rd of July 2006 (Sun)

I'd like to order a few 8x10s, and I thought I might try mpix since it gets so many good reviews here. For those who have ordered from them, what options would you suggest in terms of paper, etc.?
