elisha_c. Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I was wondering if anyone had any advice about high quality professional labs for photo printing. I'm looking for some place that has a quick return, good quality, and capability to make canvas prints as well. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karl_borowski Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 A good pair of labs that cater to nationwide business (can you say if you are in the US? Ohio? The Cleveland area?) are Dale Labs in Florida, and UPI Lab in NC. I use TPI Photo in Youngstown for local professional service, and Dodd Camera or Cord Camera if I need processing or printing of acceptable quality in a hurry (though neither of them do optical proofing anymore, which I consider essential for proofs smaller than 8x10).

colleendonovan Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I use Miller's and I LOVE them! Nothing but the best, they haven't raised their prices in at least 3 years, and they keep adding more products and conveniences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseay Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I love mpix.com, which is a division of Miler's. I pay $4.95 shipping and almost always get my pictures within two days of them being shipped. They also have a ton of new products - my dad LOVED the playing cards I gave him for Christmas, with the picture of my nephew (his grandson) on them.

beatrice m Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'd like to second the Mpix recommendation. Although I also use Adorama a lot, I've found Mpix to do better color-correction and offer more services/sizes. And the turn-around time is fantastic.

karl_borowski Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 So howabout a followup so we actually know where you are and can be more than just generally passively helpful based on our guessing what you're after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elisha_c. Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Well, to follow up. We're located in Corvallis, Oregon. It doesn't matter if the lab is across the country as long as prints do not get messed up in the mail. We want high quality prints to put in photo albums or for large prints that have accurate color processing (we have a monitor calibrator, so we'd need a lab that has specs that we can set our calibrator to). Some place with consistent timely processing so we can give clients an accurate estimate, etc. We've never used a professional lab before. The best we've used yet is Smugmug's attached lab, which I am not sure is high enough quality for the bridal albums. I don't know much about the differences in labs, etc. Anything I should know while I'm looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine_halstead Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Elisha- My partner and I run a small color (c-41 and ra-4), e-6, and black and white lab out of CT. Our quality is amazing and the turn-around time is very fast. We will also undercut any other professional lab's prices. We can e-mail you examples of our images to show the quality of our work. E-mail us at L6S8@aol.com if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
