Best plac for aluminum prints?
Jun 5, 2015 15:17:15 #
I'm not sure which size to get, but I want to get my first metal print done. I want good quality, but without breaking the bank. The biggest thing I've ever had printed was 12x18 and did it on paper with my Pro-100 printer. I'd go to my local camera store, but they are overpriced on lots of their stuff that aren't cameras or lenses. For a 12x18 wall print for example, (I guess they have blocks of wood on the back) they charge $39.99.

I recommend Bay Photo. Quick turnaround and consistent high quality.

I recommend Adorama prints. I have 3 by them and they are well done. One is a black and white that has great contrast the others are color with great color and tonal variations. I did not get the fast service and it only took 1 week to get it.

I checked them out. Seems like everyone is life within $5 on the same sizes of prints. Can a lab correct for CA? This is what I'm thinking of.

Bay Photo metal prints are fantastic. I always get a floating frame gallery style.

I have many 16 X 20 canvas prints of my photos and a few prints on metal. Sign up for email notifications and wait until you get an email for their special discounts. I usually see an email from them every couple of days with a special they are running.

I use WSHCC for my metal prints and I am completely satisfied. Excellent work and quick turnaround. For what it's worth, I find that metal prints work best in large sizes - my prefered size is 30x40. The "wow" factor of metal is somewhat diminished at sizes less than 14x16.

I've used Adorama in the past and am totally satisfied with their service and quality work.
