Review of online photo services

[terse]

The NY Times Wirecutter has a review of a large group of online photo services. It includes evaluation of quality (compared to their own prints on an Epson photo printer), costs, packaging, available sizes and paper, ease of use, and so on. Their top choice -- Nations Photo Lab -- is one I hadn't heard of before. It's a useful read if you're interested in printing your images and trying to balance cost and convenience between investing in a printer, ink, and paper or outsourcing your printing.

Very interesting. I use Mpix mostly, which was one of the lowest rated. I checked out Nations Photo lab and the price wasn’t that much higher than my standard Mpix order.

I will be using Printique soon. Will try to remember to report back if they're any good.
Have had much success with smaller lesser known labs

I have received several books from Printique, of my Instagram photos. They usually have a special at year’s end to make a small soft cover book at a very reasonable price.

Good luck! I'd like to hear about the results for your images. I have a (totally unfounded in actual experience) suspicion that online labs do better with images closer to the norm than those that are quirky in some way (especially color-wise).

Most labs offer the option to ‘opt out’ of any color corrections. So far, it hasn’t been an issue for me
