You seem to hate the online labs that much that you have to reply everytime these subjects come up. Something is wrong really. Stan, you’re a funny dude.

Most people don't really care to "buy a pigment based printer" and then "spend a little time getting to know it". Idiot. Get out of your owner’s manual Stan. Most people don’t really care to “buy a pigment based printer” and then “spend a little time getting to know it”. Idiot.

Its literally worse than my neighborhood walmart. but if you're comparing it to places like shutterfly and snapfish (who also have poor quality), then i'm guessing you're going to think they look great. sadly, its hard to get good color from most consumer labs. consumer labs don't care about quality, only quantity and thus they just don't invest the time and money in making sure that their equipment is running a color profile that maximized the gamut available in the equipment and paper they're running. the problem for consumers is that to get great looking prints you either have to find a pro lab or print them yourself. the problem with most pro labs is that there are a lot of pro labs that give just as poor color (WHCC and Millers for example), and most pro labs only accept pro photographers as clients. so what's the average joe who wants great looking prints supposed to do!? my recommendation is do your own prints. buy a pro quality, pigment based printer like an HP B9180 or Epson 3800, and spend a little time getting to know it and your prints will ALWAYS look better than getting them done at myphotopipe. plus they'll also last much much longer as well. i hate to break it to you, but MyPhotoPipe’s printing services are quite poor. they have a very very poor quality profile from which they print.

This sounds like it might be a very good replacement service for me to use. Great write up on it. Sure convinced me to give it a shot. I like that you did that widespread test with a single image.

You can also download the ROES software to access products other than ordinary prints - like FolioPrints. I think they've got some other options for extended storage, but I use SmugMug for photo hosting so I just upload when I want to print. @cheng – Yes, just upload some photos and order.
