Has anyone used Costco for metal prints? Please give me your opinion and who else does metal prints? Thanks.

AdoramaPix also does metal prints. I've ordered several from them.

If this had been a couple days from now... I just ordered my first metal print from Costco and I'm hoping to pick it up today. Tomorrow we leave for a week and the suspense is killing me. I just got 4 wrapped canvas prints yesterday and have several older ones and they have all been great. I'm expecting the same with the metal one. The nice thing is that it's so cheap to do that if you don't like the result you can always give it to your MIL. Good luck.

I've found the best quality (though perhaps not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for I guess) is from a lab in northern CA called LaserLight - their URL is http://laserlightprints.com and in comparison to the aluminum prints I've dons at Bay and MPIX laser light is far superior.

Well, if you are into LARGE photos on metal, there is only one I know of and it is Image Wizards, 105 Rogers Rd, Lexington, NC 27292 https://www.imagewizards.net/products/
Telephone: 336.283.8679
They are the only place for 8 foot wide photos on metal in America that I could find. Smaller photos are also available. They are grand to work with. I have an 8 ft. photo on aluminum in my front room. It depicts about 10 miles of Big Chico Creek Canyon, in Chico, CA I had it done in black and white. Tony

I've used Bayphoto in CA for metal prints 16 x 24 and they come out gorgeous very vivid detail and color. I didn't know that Costco did metal, will have to try them out..

Since my original post, I've bought metal prints from Adorama with excellent results.

I looked at the Costco website and their pricing is really good they are however, limited in sizes offered and it also looks like they have only 1 finish (glossy). Bayphoto has a much greater variety of sizes available and also about 6 finish options... they are about twice the price though.

Printerpix I just got two this week. Groupon has several companies you can try at a reduced price.

Thanks for this. They're about 45 minutes from me. Never knew about them!
