Default A+ for MpixPro

Ok, so I've been using MpixPro rather exclusively for about a year now. I had some senior prints that needed done. It only took the family 4 months to get me their order. Anyway, I put the order in last Tuesday at around 4:00pm. The door bell rang at 11:30 Wednesday morning and there they were. They have $4 overnight shipping and anything over $100 is free shipping. Their quality is top notch and their ROES interface is very easy to use. I know that there are those out there who swear by their labs and that's fine. I just wanted to let anyone who is looking for a lab that MpixPro is good to go.

How do they differ from the regular mpix? Is it like a trader's version of the original?

I looked at the products and honestly they don't look much different from mpix's regular website. The only additional product I saw that mpix didn't have was styrene mounting...and then the cool metal aluminum sheets, which is interesting.

I think I'll register...I've looked a lot at metal printing and had people interested in it, before. If they can compete with bayphoto's prices then I'm really interested but apparently I need to wait to see their prices when they give me an account...I hate that.

The biggest difference, at least that I can see, is overnight shipping for $4. I haven't compared the differences in products in a while.

A pity it only applies to domestic orders.

Got approved, got the 5 prints on the way, hopefully I get to see the difference.

You wont see any difference in print quality from Mpix > MPixPro> Millers.... All the same company and all use the same printers. I questioned them at ImagingUSA about the price difference between and regular 8x10 across the three divisions. Rep couldnt really answer except saying that is was ease of use if you are ordering to keep everything in one order, rather than split it up. Kind of a BS answer and he knew it.

The main difference is products that are offered. Millers does high end albums, MpixPro does the press products and prints and mpix most of the one off consumer based products. All my prints that I order I go straight through mpix, no reason to pay more for it. Albums through miller and custom DVD cases through Mpixpro. Kind of a PITA if you ask me but I can understand why they do it.

I've been using Mpix for a few years. I never bothered with signing up with MpixPro because I don't need the extra services. All I do is print.

Is having an account with Miller's Lab the same as having an account with MPixPro? In other words, are the products offered the same between the two?

Some are the same, some are different. Mpixpro offers press books but not high grade Albums. You need to sign up for each site separately.
