Question from Amy: “I have been getting really busy, and I thought that I should know what my images look like in a print instead of just looking at them on a disc. I am about to order prints online of my own work to test out mpix. Is there anything that I should know before I order them? Is there a better place to order from? Do I need to resize my photos in any way? thanks :)”
Chrissey: I order all my prints from WHCC. They do fantastic work. It’s fast and all the prints are beautiful.
Tracey: Once you download their program it will ask you everything for resizing the images. I love them!

Jennifer: Just throwing this one out there, I’ve been using Black River Imaging lately, they are a little pricer than Nations, but not quite as much as Millers, and they do great work.
Cindy: We use Nations and Mpix.
