| I have been doing some portrait photography for friends and am thinking of doing a bit as a side business. I was wondering if anyone knows of a sight where I can upload photos and print multiple copies on a single sheet like you would purchase at a studio. It is important to me that the quality be equivalent to those I have printed with DPCPrints. I can continue to use DPCPrints for a while, but I have almost reached my storage limit. It would also be great if people could purchase for themselves from the site as with DPCPrints. Anyone have suggestions? |

Have you used this site yourself?
If so, have you any experience with the associated photo labs? |

Sorry but I have not used them but I know they seem to be very popular. I print most of my own, but I am looking for someone to make large prints. Photoreflect wouldn't work for me because I dont have high speed internet. It would take a week to upload one event on dial up.

Have you checked with Epperson Photos in OKC. I got a 1 Foot by 6 foot print from them for $64 on Pearl paper. Pretty reasonable. I'm not sure but I think you can do it online also. www.eppersonphoto.com |

You might wantto take a look at Mpix, I've used them for many occasions and they are excellent. I can upload images to their site and there doesn't seem to be any limitations. I've easily uploaded over 100MB of data at one time.
Not sure if they offer a service as to what you mentioned, "print multiple copies on a single sheet". They do make proof portfolio's and there prices are very reasonable. The largest print they make is 20"x30". I believe it costs $25.00. They only print on KODAK Professional paper. A big PLUS for me. For some reason, most people I deal with seem to like that. |

I love mpix! They aren't the cheapest, but no where does as good a job for cheaper.
Just yesterday I ordered $185 worth of photos from Mpix, including 61 metallic prints. I can't wait to see those.
Edit: As for having multiple prints on a sheet, I'd recommend using Photoshop, resize the canvas and duplicate the photo layer, organize it on the canvas and then order a big print from mpix. They won't print multiple copies on a sheet, I'm not sure anyone would. Just send them a big file with the picture tiled, might wanna upload it somewhere that has broadband though, might take a while...
My biggest complaints about Mpix: $5 shipping (only $1 at Winkflash), only one paper type per order (had to make two seperate orders yesterday--$10 shipping--but then Winkflash only has one paper period!), and the website is really slow. Also, when choosing print sizes and quantities you have to go to a seperate page which is very slow and time consuming. I'd use Winkflash if they printed Kodak Pro.
