Hi Tanya,

There are several good options out there, many of which will send you samples for free or low cost.

bayphoto.com, whcc.com are a couple of places I have tried with great results (but tend to be on the higher end of price) mpix.com is a great shop.. good price and very good quality. ( I use them for most of my printing now.) Zenfolio, the place where I have my website, uses mpix.com for their fulfillment.

Just a little FYI that cross-posting is frowned upon.

cross posting? i think we should be able to ask a question if it seems appropriate with the topic. more people see it, and you get more results.

**shrugs**

I don't make the rules. Don't shoot the messenger, lol.

ETA: This has been covered many, many times before. Take a look using the search function, I'm sure you'll find loads of information and will be able to find several labs to choose from.

What Susan said. One reason why cross-posting is frowned upon is because it makes it much more difficult for people to find answers when they have the same question, plus this way you get all your answers in one place (and in this case, the thread is best suited to the Post-Processing and Printing section).

Meanwhile, I'll second Papa Rotzzi's suggestion of Mpix and also say that I really like AdoramaPix. However, I have no idea what constitutes "Olan Mills quality prints" in terms of paper, however, I do find that both Mpix and AdoramaPix have excellent quality paper.
