I've found some posts that are several years old and may have missed current posts, but does anyone have any current opinions on Bay Photo Lab?  I uploaded a few images to them to test, and tried different types of paper, and they look good to me.  Me = NOT a pro.

I've been posting images on Facebook and a few people wanted to buy prints, so would Bay Photo Lab be a good place for a few people to buy their own prints of my images and choose the size they want, etc.?

Thank you!

Barbara:  I do all of my own printing up to 17"x25" or longer for panos, but I have used Bay for Metal Prints up to 30"x45".  I've been pleased with the quality.  I've also used them for Christmas gifts of ornaments and iPhone cases.  Each time, I've been happy with th results and service.

Barbara, I've run test prints through them and many other labs.  Their results were fine but I decided in the end to use Nations Photo Labs because they looked just as good as the others but were less expensive.  These prints I'm referring to are the cheap prints I sell to the tourist market here at the beach.  For fine art work I sell at the gallery I use Aspen Creek because they have a better choice of paper.
