Title: Good inexpensive print company for 500 4x6 prints?
Post by: gchappel on January 14, 2017, 02:29:55 pm

I shoot for the local highschool football team. 
I need to print about 500 different 4x6 prints for their banquet.
I usually print my own, and will be printing the larger images.
But I am not set up to print that many small images. 
Does anyone know a good solid printing company that can handle this?
I have used shutterfly in the past- they were ok, but thought I would ask around.
Thanks
Gary

Walmart or Costco, perhaps?
you can always process a few, as a test drive.

I would second Costco. If you go to the Dry Creek site and download the profiles for the Costco that you use and insert the the proper profile into your 4x6 files you will get good results.

Maybe Amazon Print?
Here is the reason why:

Maybe you should read the comments in the Amazon link you posted....not really that glowing.

Costco with the proper profiles is the way to go. Here's the link to Costco profiles:https://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/

Dang, no local costco.
Local walmart just prints, will not turn off auto image correction- look awful.
I have used shutterfly in the past, they were ok.
Thanks
