Title: Where to get something printed?
Post by: h20hunter on July 24, 2012, 07:24:17 AM: So...posting this in the photography section hoping somebody can give me a lead on where to have something printed. I have the hard copy files of a three page article I had published recently. Because my son is the focus I would like to have the pages printed on some type of paper that will last over time. Does anyone have a suggestion on an online company that I can simply upload, pay, and have mailed to me?

As an example you can click on the attachement....it is the first page or cover shot I guess of the article.

Thanks.

Great photo by the way :tup:

with costco i uploaded the jpeg file on their website and had it mailed, pretty decent quality but a little more expensive.

with mpix.com i am very impressed with their quality of prints ive had several photos printed from them and the quality is very good. its an online photo lab where you just upload the jpeg and you can choose from several different paper types and finishes, very reasonable pricing too last set i had them do was 2 16x20's and 2 11x14's total cost including shipping was less than $40, shipping was fast too had my prints in less that 10 days from the time i uploaded the files and placed the order, they also keep a record of your orders so if you another of something all you have to do is re order
