I may be slow or just plain stupid...but Millers was way too confusing.

Looking at their price sheet and trying to decipher between prices, finishes, and paper available gave me a headache. After 15 minutes I gave up and will probably never use them.

Amen! I agree, I just haven't really liked using Millers either.

I have been using WHCC and just buy the mini accordion albums from Miller's. Have also used MPIX before they cam out with the MIX Pro, they have some interesting offerings that I am excited to try.

I love Millers. I love MPIX too. The pro allows a photog access to more professional products, if you will, when they dont have the volume to be admitted access to Millers...and apparently, ordering stuff is easier. I wish Millers used ROES.

Hi Tracie,

Is access free to MPix? Are you also using Zenfolio?

Best regards,

Access to Mpix is free, it's very much based like a consumer lab but the service and work is pro level. What has been said about Miller's I agree with also. The price setup was too confusing and while the little touches ("free" overnight shipping, glasslines - if you use them), it's too much for most guys who are digital workflow.

I'm waiting on my prints from Mpix Pro to see how they look, but I'm looking forward to it. The metal and acrylic prints are exciting, would love to try them.

I won an acrylic print from Miller's at Texas School. I printed up a picture from our trip to Italy (the Amalfi Coast). Let me say.... it was AWESOME!!!

I would highly recommend the acrylic prints from Miller's or Mpix Pro. On a side note, they recently reduced the prices on these items, and they are very reasonable. Your customers will love them.
