So where does every body get their prints done?

I like ofoto.com (kodak easy share or whatever it's called now) and shutterfly.com.

There are cheaper places and there are more expensive places, but real photo developed paper looks so much better than any ink jet I've seen.

Shutterfly

I've used Shutterfly - don't know if they're any better than the others, but they've been pretty consistently good for me, and give me free gifts on a regular basis (notecards, magnets, photobooks, prints) because I've gotten so many prints from them - or maybe they do that for everyone to suck them in :).

I have tried everything such as snapfish, shutterfly, photoworks..etc and I ended up with dotphoto. They print is comparable to other service and the best thing about it is the cheap service for large print.. a 24x36 is only like 20 bucks.. compare to 30-40.. quality is great too.

I print them myself - up to 8x10 (Kodak paper). I do not print anything less than that except for Christmas cards.
For larger prints I use Costco (Fuji color paper printers) at 8x12, 12x18 printed locally. I also use Costco provided printer profiles. As for 20x30, they are printed in Maryland and shipped - usual stuff, if you want it overnight it is expensive. My 20x30 image was less than 25 USD including shipping.
8x12 1.49 USD
12x18 2.99 USD
I ship them to my account on their site and pick them up on the way home after work.

I also use Costco. They are always concerned if I have an issue, and are very reliable, including color profiles.

Cheap too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Adoramapix. They have decent prices and always do a great job. They offer the Kodak Endura paper that is amazing with the right images.

For family "snapshots" that end up in the photo album, I use York Photo; they are inexpensive, good consistent quality, and fast.
For other photographs I use Mpix or smugmug.

Right now, I use dotphoto. Good quality prints, great price. I am currently finding myself enticed by adorama, however. If the prints look good, I will probably switch.

I do all my own printing. My printer will handle up to 13 X 19 and I have access to a larger printer (I think it's 24in. wide) if I need it. I don't print that much (% wise) of what I shoot, but when I do I want complete control and instant feedback.

Has anyone tried pephoto.com? They seem to have really low prices, but I don't know anything about them.

I have wanted to try PEphoto - Full Service Professional Digital Photo Printing Lab, if their big prints are even marginally good quality, that would be a great price.

Nobody has mentioned White House Custom Colour yet. They seem to be on the high end of the price and custom finishing.


Thanks for everybody's replies. It's always good to have a resource of people have actually tired different photo finishing places for future reference.

I use ritzpix.com. I not a pro, but I'm happy with the quality (comes off the same machine that prints regular photos), is usually done faster than I can get there (<20 minutes), the people are great, and it's cheap at $.19 for a 4x6.
