Mpix

Mpix is an online photo printing outfit. Based in Kansas, and run by the owner of one of the largest Pro Photo Service companies in the country, they offer semi-pro services to rank amateurs such as myself. And at a good price too. They offer 3 types of paper for your prints, and will print in all sorts of sizes, and claim to turn orders around in one day if it is a simple order, 24-48 hours for more complicated orders. And, they will color correct images to match the color calibration on their printing machines to make sure you get the image you were after.

Now, I have never used their services...until today. I placed an order for 5 8x10's. yes, I could have printed these at home on my Epson R330, a printer that used to deliver great prints. But it has failed me recently, turning my prints into Andy Warhol type barrages of bright colors and sharp contrast. If that is your thing great, but when that is not what you wanted, not so great. So, I uploaded my images, placed my order for prints on the metallic papers...something that should be seen to be truly appreciated...and will hopefully know tomorrow how the images turn out. We are finally getting some of my pictures printed from our Paris Trip earlier this year, and that is as exciting to me as the new found printing source. To top it all off, this service, is cheap. Less than $3 per print. Wolf Camera can't come close to that price or service. A win win situation if you ask me.

Mpix also offers many other photo services, but there are so many, a visit to their site is the best way to appreciate them.

So, a report will be forthcoming. The anticipation is killing me.
