Getting Prints done? Check out IMAGEKIND

bwield · 10-07-2008, 06:06 PM

I recently had a poll in the "post a picture" section, that many generous pentaxians took part in, asking what photo I should print first to hang.
Well after looking at the threads I decided to get two done ( RAYS, FIRST TO FALL) and I'll just have a custom frame done here rather than through the printing service.
I have used Imagekind before for printing and have always had good luck, but when reading all the different threads about printing sites, and not having the pictures come out properly / with little colour, I was very eager to find out hwo these fairly big prints ( 24" by 14.6) would come back.
I sent in the order sunday night, shipped international priority and they arrived on TUESDAY at 11 am.. in Markham, ontario Canada!
So I have come to expect great shipping from imagekind, but how about the prints?
GREAT! I was a little worried about both because of the vibrant colours in RAYS and the heavy contrast in FIRST TO FALL ,but they nailed it right on.
One of the things I like best about IMAGEKIND is that when you upload your shot you do not have to resize to a crop but can print at whatever size your picture actually is.. hence the 24 by 14.6...
I will also say that I am very impressed with the paper selection they offer, up too 10 different kinds for "Gallery Prints"

All in all I am very pleased with my experience and will be surely using them again!

heres the link to the poll threads so you can see the colours they nailed..

Thanks for the review. I saw that thread before, but didn't comment. Luckily you printed my 2 favorites...

It's always good to hear some positive feedback about some of these printing places, they can be very hit or miss once you expect quality beyond typical 4x6 snapshots.

I should have mentioned.... But i probably wouldnt use them for 4x6 or a large batch.. not because of quality but really just price... personally I only do prints that I want to hang from them, other wise costco does a great job
