Would someone please recommend a good online photo lab? I have just tried Nations Photo Lab and although their prices seem reasonable, they seem to be rather slow. I ordered 2 prints early on the 24th and they are still in production today the 28th.

Thanks,
Dale

I use Campus Camera in Kent, Ohio. You can send digital images to them and they will process them. Sue is one of the best around when it comes to value and quality.

It depends on what media you want and if you want archival prints. There is a reason some of the printers are more expensive

Bay Photo. Excellent work, many options, and typically ships next day via 2-day Fed-X at a very reasonable cost.

Edit: Btw, if you go with Bay, you can save a substantial percentage by not using their color correction service, assuming that you color correct your monitor, download their profile and soft proof. If you don't do all those things, then better stick with the color correction...

I use WHCC (White House Custom Color) and Bay Photo. Both offer great products/quality, super turn-around time, and fair prices. WHCC also provides a Welcome Kit to get you up and running with 5 free 8 x 10 prints to help evaluate your color monitor calibration, a bunch of paper samples, some marketing ideas and more.

Thanks everyone for the input. At least I now have some choices to compare.

After trying several labs, I went over to Costco, and an hour later I had my prints that looked the same as the custom labs produced, and much cheaper. The only drawback is that they print in only certain sizes. But I've found that if I crop, using 'canvas size', I get pretty much of what I want.

Although I did not used them very often, I was pretty pleased with White Wall (nice prints and turn-around-time was ok)!

nations photo labs, seems to not work on weekends. So if they get your image monday morning I find they mail it 2 days later.
I also have gotten my pics in the mail and the website says still in production. ...

but I still have no complaints with their work. Its good , but note its NOT something that would hang in a gallery...
