printing

[Briones1208]

Who do you all use for printing? I normally use Mpix but they only print up to 20 x 30. I need someone who prints larger

Miller's goes bigger than MPIX. 30x40 I think...

Miller's = MPIX only MPIX is the consumer side. Miller's requires that you meet certain requirements (volumn, etc.) before you can print through them. They only print for studios, photographers, business that have accounts with them.

Last time I heard, there was a list to become a Miller's customer. I haven't asked in a long time thou.

Actually, from what I've heard, Miller's has actually made it a lot easier to become customer. The address is Millerslab.com. You still have to be a professional, but they're no longer requiring annual minimums on volume. At least, that's what's been posted on the MPIX forums... Whether that's a good thing or not, I don't know...

White House Custom Color (whcc.com) goes 30x45+ They don't say what the upper limit of the size is, only that beyond 45" the price is per square foot.

The largest I've had them print is 16x20. I've been very happy with their service.

what do these guys charge for a 30x40?

El-Co color lab does amazing work for the price. (30X40 = $$20)

They've done several big uns for me and I was very pleased.

Make sure you read and follow their FAQS. Don't try to upres the file yourself, and make sure the file is the correct proportion for the print size ordered. I sent a file to them, and they called me to let me know that they didn't think the print would be very good. It turns out I had sent the "net" version and sent them the "big" file and the print was terrific. Most places wouldn't bother to call, especially at this price.

They require two prints per order, but they don't have to be the same image.
They ship them rolled up, which some people don't like. I am using their shipping tubes to keep lighting stand parts in order .
