Interesting comparisons here, Amy. I've been using Mpix for years now and have been quite satisfied with the quality. Shipping was a bit pricey, though. However, ProDPI's prices and free shipping (from Denver, btw) have convinced me to give 'em a try next time I make an enlargement.
So, a big 'Thanks!' for this one.

I use WHCC and have been very happy (especially with the lollipops!), but might have to give ProDPI a shot.

Interesting topic since I "assumed" most folks on this forum printed their own images. I guess as a hobbyist and not relying on my images to make my living, I like controling the creative process on the way to printing. Being I haven't used a commerical service for 15 years, it would be interesting to try one to compare quality vs price. From what I have seen though, my Epson 3880 creates some darn nice prints.

Reed Imaging in Denver is also an excellent printing firm. Outstanding customer service and high quality prints.

Thanks for this topic! I signed up with ProDPI and am awaiting the 5 sample images.

I've been using Bay Photo, WHCC and another Colorado provider, but I'm definitely going to give ProDPI a shot.

Does anyone have any experience with CG Pro for canvas wraps?

Another AZ photographer mentioned them to me yesterday. He was pleased with his order quality and especially pricing.
