Hey everyone,

I'm about to get a rebel XT, and I'm looking for places to get quality prints in various sizes.

I've looked at shutterfly, but so far I'm having problems with uploading to there site, I keep getting an error: "There was no reply from the HTTP server."

Any other sites you guys know of, or any info on the error I'm getting, let me know!

Thanks,

Damon

I run a small business selling action sports photos and I get all my printing down through www.mpix.com they are awsome. print quality is superb the shipping is fast and cheap I pay only 9 dollars for over night. I havent had any problems with them yet, and i have ordered all of their sizes from wallets to the 20x30

nice, they look good

I just figured out how to use shutterfly, and ordered my first prints, we'll see how they turn out.

mpix definatly has a more impressive site though

If you live near a Ritz Camera or Wolf Camera I reccomend them. They do a great job with digi prints

Alright, so I got my first prints from shutterfly, the quality is amazing! I ordered the glossy and matte finishes, and the matte definatly looks professional. Also, the first 15 4x6's are free, so that was pretty cool too.

Are any of you doing any post processing to sharpen your photos or make sure you send them in the right color space (AdobeRGB or sRGB)? If not, you may check into that a little and improve your prints.

Costco. Ask for no color correction.

Best price you will find, plenty of professionals use them because of this.
