Printing Photos

[Winglets747]

Okay, I'm cheating--I'm printing non-aviation photos, but I figured this is the right place for a question.

Does anyone have a personal preference for online photo printers? I'm looking just to print 8 or so 11x14 digital photos that will last for at least a few years.

I'm overwhelmed by all of the options (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6451_7-624 ... ml?tag=txt (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6451_7-6245143-1.html?tag=txt) and http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6451_7-624 ... ml?tag=txt (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6451_7-6245134-1.html?tag=txt)), so any personal thoughts and experiences would be great.

Thanks!

I've used Snapfish, Shutterfly and Mystic Color Lab for 8x10s. Snapfish and Shutterfly prints came out okay but they were never cut straight, even after I complained and got replacements. Mystic was better, and they use higher quality Kodak paper and they've had a reputation for high quality work long before the advent of digital cameras.

Side rant: It was nice of CNET to list all those sites under the header "Review" giving the impression that they'd have some editorial advice for which to buy, when in fact all that is is a list of sites who they'll get $ from in exchange for you clicking and using them. :evil:

Believe it or not, Walmart is among the best!....I also use smugmug for anything on the website. I have tried many different ways, Snapfish was OK too, but I did like the Walmart quality better.....

NOW SOMEONE SHOOT ME....PLEASE........ it just sounds sooooo WRONG!

HELL, do an online 1 hour 8X10 and show up an hour and a half later (christmas photos time)..... You will be amazed at the $3.00 print!

Bigger can be done with 2 day in store delivery or you can ship to your house.

NOW SHOOT ME!
