I've been working through a few shops locally and haven't found the perfect one just yet. Which printing companies do y'all use? Why do you like them? What don't you like about them? What paper do you use?

 

Mpix. Good quality, good cost. Sign up for their pro services for even better deals and matched printing profiles.

 

I use Costco, 8x12's for a $1.50, can't beat it! Luster paper and I check box for them NOT to make adjustments. Send it to them via their website and pick up in a few hours most days.

I have been using them for awhile I know had to set me image for them to print the way I want it down.

And if you're really into it, you can download their printer profiles.

 

I used to use MPix but found them to be too pricy. I've since moved on to AdoramaPix...better prices and better service. I usually get metallic paper when i order prints.

 

^ What do you find the price difference to be?

I use Sams/Costco for smaller prints since it's not a huge difference for those sizes but when you get to the bigger prints the printer matters a lot more.

For canvas prints I use canvas on demand and nothing else. They are excellent to work with.

 

I don't remember specifics. But I know it was more than enough to make me ok with paying state sales tax to Adorama and STILL come out ahead.

 

used mpix as well. had no problems here.
