?
Has anyone here used Shutterfly or some other similar online photo printing service? I’ve got a number of Library of Congress Prints and Photos shots that I’d like printed, and I’m thinking it’ll be cheaper and easier to have them printed by a service than do them myself.
I’m curious how the photos looked… It seems that I’m able to only upload JPEGs to Shutterfly, but they were able to accept a 4000 x 5000 7MB high quality JPEG, which should look fine printed.
These will eventually be framed and hung up in various parts of my house, bathroom, etc.
What’s really neat is that the LoC has some nuclear reactor blueprints on their site, and printed at 20 x 30 these could look *really* nice in my living room, surrounded with 1940s – 1960s era electronics.
So, anyone tried Shutterfly or any other printing services?
UPDATE: I think I might order a set of four or five test prints from each Apple/Kodak (via iPhoto), Snapfish, and Shutterfly.
i use walmart.. it’s 27 cents a picture and great quality. i love it.
Hehe… Thanks for the idea, but I refuse to give money to Walmart. :)
I use shutterfly for all of the prints that I put in my lighting design portfolio. For the most part I’ve been quite pleased with the results. But watch out for their “automatic image correction”… it’s turned on by default, but relatively easy to deselect if you know it’s there.
I used printroom.com some years ago, and had no complaints, but I liked shutterfly better for some unremembered reason.
Ooh, thanks. :) That’s really good to hear… The best advice I’ve heard yet. I think I will give them a try…
I think I’ll still send some test jobs to a few print services to see how they all compare, but it’s good to hear about Shutterfly. :) It’s also possible to give the Gallery folks a cut of my order if I submit the images right. :)
