I have a quick question. Does anyone here allow clients to buy prints off your site. For instance if you do a wedding and during the reception people ask how to buy their pictures. I will start putting them on my site for that very reason, but how is the quality? Do the site or print company resize and crop for the proper setting? Thanks in advance cause I know when I make prints I have to make it a 8x10 in photoshop etc.

The printing is actually done by MPix, a division of Millers. I had some of mine sent to me and was pleased with the quality of both color corrected and non-color corrected prints (my monitor is hardware calibrated). The buyer gets to choose their own crop, but you have the option to change it if you want.

No hesitation to use MPix via Zen...

Excellent Quality!

I just used Mpix via my Zen to print a 24" x 36" poster and it turned out perfect. Shipping quality was outstanding as well, came in a box that would of survived a war.

Sorry to hijack the thread here but I was wondering the same exact question about Smugmug Prints.

I can only echo what the others have said. As a matter of fact I chose Zen because they use Mpix.

I just had the same experience. Mpix all the way, and MpixPro for specialty items like metal murals and such.
