I am looking to get some prints done on metal. I have done a search here on the site and most posts on the topic are over a year old.
Has anyone got some current reviews, either good or bad about printers? I'm in Hawaii and there are no printers here, so a printer preferably on the West Coast would keep my shipping costs down.

Bay photo does great work. My wife had some done through Walmart and I was happy with result.

Both my cousin and I have used Bay Photos. The quality is very good as is the service. I dislike the metal prints because I get so much reflection from them, it's sometime difficult to see the actual photo.

Does Walmart use Bay for everything, or just the specialty stuff?

I’ve used Bay and also Miller, but found that LaserLight Prints (in CA) produces much better output. Bin comparison, the others’ stuff looks cheap.

I used Bay for one of my images and my wife used Walmart. Not sure who they use but whoever it is they did a nice job . Sorry to confuse you with my last post. After rereading it I can see how it could be confusing. Hey it was early morning LOL. And I'm not as young as I used to be😃

Check with your local Costco. I have been told that they are now doing metal prints, however I have not yet tried them myself

I,too, like Laser Light. They are in central California, Aptos. The glossy prints are very reflective. I the mat finish works much better if there is a lot of light. I took samples of both finishes to my local camera club. Vast majority of members preferred the mat (non glare) finish. I really like the metal prints, just be careful which finish you select.

I shall look into the mat (non-glare) finish the next time I order. Thanks for the post.
