->> Martin,
I have been using Printroom for three years and have been very pleased with their performance to date. I like the products that they offer and have yet to receive a client complaint. I look forward to learning what others in our community have to say about their fulfillment companies, but I confidently recommend Printroom for your needs. |

->> Mike Brice will say:
"Delane beat me to the punch, but you can't beat a service like Exposure Manager where you can FTP images to you account right out of Photo Mechanic...
That's just one of the features...
I could go on, but I think it is pretty clear their benefits if you check out the site... http://www.exposuremanager.com
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an e-mail." |

->> M,
Personally, I use Printroom (good quality prints and service). I have nothing bad to say about any of the other services.
Your question is like asking:
Honda vs Toyoto
or
Nikon vs Cannon
With that said, Photoshelter does lend itself more to media buyers than some of the others. In the end, the answer is:
It depends . . .
What are you going to use it for? |

->> Hopefully there are enough links in your post that we won't see another thread like this until after the first of the year.
Or until someone realizes they need to start selling photos to justify that new D300 or D3 purchase to the wife - especially so close to the holidays.
Take it from me - easier just to buy her diamonds or pearls as opposed to justify the camera purchase. She is never going to understand. |

->> Printroom is a great site.
They just updated their home page for users to add a flash element.
Kind of cool.
They take care of everything from sales to shipping. |

| ->> EM and Printroom are great. One that you should avoid though is Shutterfly, as they do not cater to the professionals as much as they say they do. Sending your customers literature promoting their services can undermine the trust you've worked hard to establish. Questions like "How come you charge so much when I can order directly from SF for less?" can make things pretty uncomfortable. SF's call for suggestions from users on ways to improve their service have left much to be desired as just about all have been unfulfilled in the YEARS (no exaggeration) we've waited. Many of us have moved on since our businesses could not afford to remain stagnant. |

->> darnit!
I knew I shouldn't have relied on my speed-reading skills before posting that link.
Delane's list is very comprehensive and full of good options. |
