    I used to use the Apple one and was happy but they quit doing it and the stand ins are lacking IMO. This go round I would want GLOSSY (I hate mat) in 16x20 with the intent of hanging it on the wall. Mostly Shelties or astronomy for now. I prefer not to have to 'join' something but would if needed. Quality is more important than cost (within reason).

    Recommendations?

    I've always used mpix.com for quality prints in smaller volumes.

    I've been using White House Custom Color https://www.whcc.com/ for 10 years now. Excellent quality and pricing along with a great variety of products. Don't have to join anything. Just make a profile and download the software they use to load up your orders and that's it.

    Http://adventure29.com is my niece’s new biz. Haven’t sent her anything from Florida to print yet to give you first hand feedback but she tells me they can do posters on lots of different media.

    Still working processing but I have the data to make them cool now. I was having a problem early on with amp glow but figured out what I was doing wrong. This is the one I want to really process properly, the horsehead nebula and flame nebula with a couple of double stars and one other nebula horsehead.jpg

    The this should turn out nice. There is no correction at all so it is VERY noisy here. But Bode's Galaxy and the Cigar Galaxy from super bowl night. Should be able to clean up all the noise and make it pop more. bodes.jpg

    Used the big companies for lots of wedding shots when the x and I ran a wedding photography business, shutterfly and snapfish, no complaints from gloss to canvas in sizes up to 30 x 60

    Basically just glossy prints. I have some waterfalls I took and the Shelties up there now. I have an eclipse photo that is cool but the print doesn't do it justice (my fault) I would like to use the tools I have for astronomy on it maybe and see if I can make it more 'real'
