This past weekend, I took a picture that I reallly liked.
Sunday evening (after the Eagles game), I spent some time PP'ing it, submitted it to the Free Study Challenge, and then made a For Print version of it.
I thought I had my color management right...using PS CS and an EPSON 785EPX, but each time I printed (and making adjustments to the color management), the printed image looked horrible. I have had success previously printing other images to this printer, and I thought I knew what I was doing. After about 6 attempts, I decided to make a choice: give MPix a try, or bash my bald head repeatedly into the printer or monitor.
I have never used an online printing service before, and I had heard some good things about MPix...
So I gave MPix a shot and ordered a 4x6 and an 8x12 (I felt that the detail would be lost in the 4x6), both on Metallic paper. I figured this image would be the perfect test image for MPix, since it was such a challenge for me...
Two days later (yesterday) I was ripping open the MPix box and was completely astounded with the work they did. And I was right - the 8x12 really let the details shine. They did fabulous work...(I can't believe I just said 'fabulous').
I am so very happy with MPix right now, and once I get a frame, that puppy is going on one of my walls.
Summary: MPix is really good - mattmac's printing days are over. |
