Question Best Print Lab for Quality? - 10-15-2007, 05:28 PM


What do you consider the best print lab for digital printing based only on quality alone?

Let's say you wanted you print one enlargement of the highest possible quality and you don't care how much it costs or how crappy the customer service or how unfriendly the GUI (if it's an online lab) or how long the turnaround, etc.

Where would you print it?

ProDPI -- excellent! Plus, they will drop ship straight to the customer in very nice packaging for you...(helpful if your b&g live somewhere else)

I will say that I'm trying out WHCC for some press-printed stuff as we speak -- and so far their CS has been pretty good...a little slow to get back but pretty good...

Thumbs up also for Bayphoto, I also have recently started using Color inc. their color rocks and they have a quicker turn around than Bayphoto does.

Oh one ore point both have kick #$% customer service.

BWC is always a good choice.

About two years ago I started going with Barron. Great customer service and beautiful prints.
