Another vote for Mpix. Every time I get prints back from them I am blown away by the quality.
I just got a 20x30 back. I was unsure what to expect. It was as clean and crisp as an 8x10, even at a fairly close viewing distance.

| I LOVE Mpix - they are the sister company to the professional line Millers. I use both, depending on my needs, but their quality seems very much equal. Millers offers more in terms of software - batch processing of sports orders and undergrad stuff. I also think they offer better products. You need to have a tax ID number to use Millerslab, so if you have one, you should check them out. But I love both their customer services.. any problems are always resolved with a smile and done within a day. Millers gives you an easy (800) # and Mpix rely's on email communication. |

| mpix is definately top of the line. A bit more pricey however. I usually use smugmug or adorama. Just depends on how large my order will be. |

I know I'm a week late with this post but I have been using
White House Custom Color a.k.a. WHCC
They're very "Professional". They have amazing quality, free shipping on orders over $12 AND you get 5 FREE 8x10s when you set up your account. The 5 free prints are to make sure that your monitor is calibrated correctly.
Their wallets come die cut with rounded corners.
As far as pricing goes:
8 up wallet 2.00
56 wallet special 11.90
4x5 .65
4x6 .70
5x7 1.10
8x10 2.00
11x14 4.00
16x20 13.25
30x45 47.50
30x45+ 5.25 / sq. ft.
Seriously, you can't go wrong with this pricing. Just add your markup to the prints when you sell them to the customer!

What online photo printing services do you use for senior portraits? I am going to so my sons' senior pics and want a top notch end product. This may be something I'd like to pursue for future business so I'd like these prints to not look like they came from Walmart or the corner drugstore.
Thanks in advance for your help. |
I used Shutterfly for my daughters senior portraits and will use either them or mpix for my niece's.
HOWEVER...
Walmart is NOT a bad place for prints. I did some senior night photos for our school band and am printing them there as well.
Apparently consumer reports just did a report (duh) on the various print places and the in-store 1hour Fuji lab at Walmart took 2nd place I was told. I was going to do their mail-to-store service and the lady there said those didn't come out as good, however, the in-store ones are not bad at all.
That is subject to change of course :) Walmart brand paint used to be the #1 paint rated by Consumer reports for years and my wife (the interior painter) loved it. But recently they've lowered their quality.

Chalk up another Mpix user here, too. I have printed literally thousands of photos through them, and never had ONE single problem with them.
Shutterfly was okay for a while, but I kept getting images that looked like there was a piece of paper in the enlarger part of the machine, like a white line through some of them, which told me that no one actually looked at the prints before they were sent out. |

For prints that last, I would recommand you to ask for "giclee prints". Using fade resistant archival inks, these prints last for over 100 years.
That's the ink I use to print my own photographs.
