Impressed with mPix.com

[SeattleMeg]

I just had my first DSLR photo printed using mPix.com, after seeing a lot of forums where people recommended it. I have to say, absolute WOW! Not only was the color just POP, the packaging it came in was pretty impressive. In paper photo sleeves, on a thin sheet of cellfoam on a piece of cardboard, plastic wrapped, and inside a large flat cardboard USPS mailer. It would have been a serious effort to try to bend that thing into a mailbox, so I love that it was shipped like that. And, I ordered Thursday, got the email that it shipped Friday, and it's Saturday and it's here.

I am a loyal fan from the get-go of mPix.com if this paper and photo wuality and shipping is what I have to look forward to. And yes, that promptly got put in a frame to protect it.

That's good to know, I've been thinking of ordering a birthday present from there to be delivered to someone. Any more info on the type of paper, size, etc?

Yeah, I used the metallic paper and got a 4x6 and a 8x10.

Cool, thanks I'm thinking of getting a canvas print, so hopefully the quality is just as good.

I'll vouch for Mpix as well, great quality.

yup. that's where i have all my prints done as well. haven't gotten much printed larger than 8x10 or 10x12, but for everything that size and smaller i couldn't be happier with the results.

I just got my first print from them. I ordered a 10x10 on the plain old Kodak paper and it was about $9 shipped. The quality of the print was fantastic. I usually order 4x6's 1hr at Wal-mart of shots that look good. Then I order the large prints from an additional source. I'm thinking that mpix.com is my choice from here on out.

I was thinking about ordering some prints from Mpix. Does anyone know what the difference would be between the metallic and the "e-paper"?
I am looking to print flower prints and sunsets to frame for the wall, probably in 5x7's or 8x10's - maybe larger or maybe with a mat.
I know it says one is matte and the other is pearlescent. Didn't know how that relates to the regular glossy/lustre/matte coatings from the local processors like Walmart, etc.
Any advice or recommendations?

I have to strongly advise against their canvas printing. They print onto matboard then glue it onto canvas. Otherwise their normal photo printing is great
