printing photos in Toronto

[ballroom_boy]

Hi Gang,

Do any of you based in Toronto know of a lab where I can get top quality 4"x6" prints (100's of them) printed from digital (Fuji S2) files? I've tried a couple places (Black, Henry's) and have been extremely disappointed with the results. I get much better results using my Canon s9000 with no post processing but just do not have the time (or the ink!) to print them all in my home lab.

Thanks!

try BGM.
Ask for 1 test print before you run the hun

Does it have to be IN Toronto? Can you use mail order with a CD?

Can you use US based labs? How does that work across borders?

Hi Linda,

I have used shutterfly and Ofoto and have had great results with them. I would just like to establish a relationship with a local lab.

As NZDoug suggested, BGM is a decent place, but I don't know, whether they also do 4x6; I believe, they are doing more large size printing (ie posters, banners,..), the studio I work for, had some 4x6 feet images done there. They are really more of a specialty lab.

How about something like TCN (The Colour Network), I know some wedding shooters, who use this place regularely (more uploading via ftp); believe it or not, but even the loblaws/ Independent grocery store online photo lab (photolab.ca) uses TCN for their digital printing (I found this out, getting some non critical personal family stuff done - a pleasant surprise), quality seemed to be alright (pretty much what I saw on my monitor, but maybe I just got lucky).
