Searched the forums and couldn't find much... I am looking for a good online photo lab. Looking to order some large prints. Where do you guys have them done? I am not looking to print them myself at this time.

Maybe you'll find this useful. http://improvephotogra​phy.com …ts-best-online-print-lab/ (external link)
Personally, I've used MPIX and Pro DPI (this last time) and I was very happy with both. Oh, and I always buy large prints.

I've used EZPrints through Smugmug for 16x20's a few times and have been really happy with the results. The only poor image I've ever received from EZPrints was an 8x10 metallic print, everything else was excellent.

I've also had some photo books printed by AdoramaPix which were excellent quality. I'd definitely use them again.

It would help to know where the OP is based before recommending anywhere. I use a company called DS Colour Labs (external link) and they are based in (near?) Manchester UK.

Costco has an excellent reputation, high quality for low cost. It does require a membership ($55 for a year) but if you plan to do a lot of printing the savings can be considerable.

Costco is a "chain store" here in the US, meaning that for a lot of people it can be convenient to work with a local outfit, but it also has an online service for ordering and they can mail prints to a customer.

Yeah, but maybe you have one close enough for quick shipping? That way you could upload your photo online and they could quickly print and ship?
