SmugMug prints vs. Flickr vs. All Others

JAMoore

I've been a Flickr member for several years now and have no complaints. I do a ton of lurking and a little posting here on dgrin and love it. My question is regarding print quality.

When printing for customers, thus far I have used Flickr's services (no, not through Target). The customers and I have been pleased, but after hearing sooo many good things about SM's printing, I must ask:

Has anyone directly compared Flickr prints to SM prints for quality? Also, what is the pricing like on SM?



TIA

Here's a link to the standard pricing page for smug - http://www.smugmug.com/prints/catalog/P for printing done by EZ Prints.

If you choose to go with a smugmug pro site then you set your own prices and you have the choice of using EZ Prints or Bay Photo.

If you want to check the quality directly sign up for a (free) trial account and print some pictures from SM and Flickr.

If you printed true color from both us and them, and chose EZPrints at SmugMug, you'd get identical prints.

Try SmugMug's Bay Photo for a true professional's lab prints.

I agree with Andy, the EZ Prints are very comparable to Flickr, however if you sign up for the pro account and have the ability to use Bay Photo, you will definately get far better pictures.
