Bay Photo for sure. My gallery has many of their metal prints in different sizes. The quality is fantastic and they do run sales.

I have used Aluminyze (https://aluminyze.com/) for years and found their quality to be better than the larger labs like MPIX and Bay, for what that's worth.

And yet, I found Aluminyze to be better...what can I tell you? I mean, I've only done 50+ prints with them after trying a number of shops over the years, so what could i know? But that does not mean that MPIX is bad by any means.

If you're leaning toward Bay, use their Black River Imaging division instead. Same prints, same quality, but a flat $3.50 for shipping, regardless of print size. Bay's shipping costs are much higher. And like Bay, BRI has fairly frequent sales.

Bay Photo. Send a brilliant photo and pick a size (I got 5x7). For a modest price, they will send you a sampler with 6 different finishes. Make your selections from those for your enlargements.

Do we, really? Because you seem intent on berating me for mine, pal.

DON'T be nasty. I am not your pal number one. I was just making a comment. Apparently you don't think we all have an opinion.

I am not certain as to what part of reality eludes you. I simply proffered my opinion. YOU came back with YOUR opinion that MPIX is good - and I am not disputing that...only that in MY OPINION Aluminyze is better. And then you went off on a tear somehow accusing me of arguing with you...have some camomile tea, pal - calm down.

Oh, and as for "showing you" - how the heck can that be done? Want to come to see the dozens of prints I have including some at a couple of local restaurants? Or ones I sold from said restaurants? Ignore me - I don't care - the world doesn't care - if you want to satisfy yourself get a print from Aluminyze to compare with one from MPIX...whatever. But you need to calm down.

Bay for me. Lots of places produce good metal prints, but I find their customer service to be outstanding if a problem crops up.
