What is a good online digital print service co? I've recently started a website wth BettrPhoto. I've photographing dogs for a local animal shelters upcoming calander. I'm getting request from people who'd like to purchase some images. So I'm looking for suggestions from other photographers who they have do their printing. ALso is this complicated to set up on my site? Thanks. www.smullenphoto.com

Kenneth, You should try MPIX I purchased ten 8 x 10 prints just to try them out and they turned out real nice, They came in a secure sturdy box and they looked wonderful. Check them out online, and see if they offer what you want. I will be using them more as my photo business picks up. Tom

Hi Kenneth, 2nd for MPIX, I have been using them for about 3 years and even their 24x36 prints are spectacular :) I often print 8 x 12 & 12 x 18 prints and they look great with fast delivery. I use Zenfolio to process my orders and they handle the $$, printing & shipping. I just deposit the $$ to my bank account :) Cheers, Carlton

Carlton, does everything go through MPIX and Zenfolio does all the work. I use PhotoReflect and everything goes through them to their a lab?. Do you have to deal with both company's. Thanks Tom

Hi Tom, Zenfolio provides a site that displays images and allows you to set pricelists, digital downloads and they can be different for each gallery, All of their prints are done by MPIX because Zenfolio is part of MPIX which is a plus. I had planned to sell my images through my BP site and bought a descent Canon printer that would print as large as 13x19 but it had a problem and has not worked since. Factoring in the price of paper, inks & then having to stock frames, mattes, etc.. I decided to try Zenfolio and have been very happy with them, I wish BP would team up with a printing service as it is much easier to sell images this way and the print quality of the $25K printers most print companies use is superior to what most of us can afford. Zenfolio provides lots of options for print sizes, types of paper, mattes, frames and even books & gallery wraps. my .02, Carlton

Thanks Carlton I thought that was the case. Like I have said before PhotoReflect has done a good job for me. I shoot high school sports and sell to parents and anyone else who is interested. To be honest I have never seen any photos from them, I should probably get a few to look at. No one has complained yet so I guess all is ok. I did get ten 8 x 10 from MPIX awhile back, just to see how they looked and was very happy with the photos. They were packaged real good and I got them the next day. I would love to have a real good printer but will have to sell a few more photos. Well thanks again for the info. Tom
