Matte prints?

shotrocker · March 14, 2014

I am in the process of setting up a new wing of my business and testing the labs that smugmug is connected with. Is anyone else here ordering matte prints through a smugmug lab? Which one? With a pro-portfolio account am I permitted to connect to two different labs through smugmug? Thanks.

If you have a portfolio account you can only have a single active price list. This means at any point in time you would be able to use only a single lab.

With a business account you can have as many price lists as you need. In order to use two labs you will need at least 2 price lists. You assign only one price list to a gallery or to a photo.

Why don't you ask smugmug (http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/emails/new) to send you a sample from the labs that you are considering?

From the help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93270-which-print-labs-are-available-through-my-smugmug-account-:

Get a Print Sample

Unsure? Tell us your shipping address and which lab you want and we'll ship you a free set of print samples.

You'll get one of each of our print finishes and a calibration print to help you be sure what you see on your screen is what you get.

Thanks, again. I'll follow your advice as calibration issues are vital. I've ordered a series of test photos, both corrected and uncorrected, but they don't offer matte.

I just looked at the print information for the 4 labs (at http://www.smugmug.com/prints/catalog/ABC#BayPhoto, click the buttons for each lab) and it appears that the only lab that offers matte is EZ Prints.
