I know this is supposed to be in the printing forum, but I'd figure i'd ask everyone in this forum because i'm more familiar with everyone.

Where do you guys typically get your stuff printed? I bookmarked a decent site that did most custom sizes for a reasonable price such as 10x10's, wallets and proofsheets but it got deleted.

I believe I got the link searching DCRP forums but I tried searching again but was not able to find it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Adorama makes decent prints and often has specials.
Mpix.com makes great prints but (as of last time I checked) you can't mix types of paper in your order. But their enlargements are awesome.

it better be with a name like peter...:D

well, i posted a thread up today about this
http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24937

but i ordered my first set of prints from mpix and was very happy with the results....except for the fact that they were slightly darker than i wanted(due to my uncalibrated monitor), the prints looked great and they do a great job of packaging the prints so they don't get damaged.

btw, i ordered 10 8x10's and something like 20 4x5's on thursday and got them monday.

I was thinking that could be the problem.:rolleyes: ...after some time, the old delivery systems just ain't what they use to be and can't keep up with new technology.

Back to the original subject of this post.....

I've used York photo many times and have been very impressed with the quality of the prints. I haven't done any significant enlargements yet, however - mostly 4x6's and 5x7's. And they are cheap!!
