Printing on Metal

Hello Everyone
What company would you recommend for prints on metal?

Costco is great.

I have used Adorama Pix and have been pleased with the results.

Check out Bay Photo, they are down near Santa Cruz. Shipping is very quick and they package well. I first started using them for my metal prints after seeing some gorgeous prints in a gallery in Moab and they told me they had them done at Bay Photo.

I recommend Adoramapix. . That's who I use, and they provide a great value. . They have a number of finishes available.

Adoramapix has site-wide sales regularly, where you can save anywhere from 15% to 30%. . I wait until such a sale, then submit my order. You can sign up for email notifications that alert you whenever there is such a sale.

Another vote for Bay Photo. They have special price email offers quite often. I've not done a metal print yet but have purchased many many metallic paper photo prints mounted on styrene. Always excellent packaging and very good shipping rates. They use a common ROES on-line ordering system like many other pro labs.

Is their software still absurdly user unfriendly, or have they improved it? I downloaded it a few years ago and found it highly resistant to my attempts to understand it.

That was my experience about 4 years ago.
I didn't want to spend a lot of time figuring out their s.w. so I moved on.

For their most common products you can just order through the website. I do believe that metal is included in that option. For more control and products you can use the ROES software. I had used other labs in the past that used ROES so I was already familiar with it. It's true that it isn't the most user friendly but it is pretty straight forward. I once did a calendar with some unusual layout options and when I had questions there were a few short video tutorials that were available.

Tried all services mentioned here and stuck with Millers Photo Lab. The free next day air shipping is a huge bonus.

I'm not a fan of companies that make me create an account in order to see their prices.

Big thanks to all who provide information. Will check them all out.

Ditto. If a company does not display prices openly I click off their site as fast as I can.

Miller's is a top notch company, I've used them for many years. While I agree it's a pain having to create an account to see prices, it's because they only deal with businesses and they are trying to create a sense of privacy of what we are paying for products when we plan on re-selling them. On the flip side, they offer "MPIX" for the consumer photographer, same parent company with no need to create an account to see pricing info.

If you have a sams club account, they do very good work at bargain prices and run special half off sales periodically.
