![]() Many of the photo products are available for pick up the same day or even one hour, making it our top pick if you need prints on a time crunch.

The poster was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition.īut of course, the Shutterfly product lineup is much more extensive than just prints and photo books. Great quality was the uniting thread across all the Shutterfly products we ordered: wallets, 4圆s, 8x10s, a photo book, and a 20x30 poster, with a number of paper options. Those details were lost in all the other services’ prints we tested. They were brighter, lighter prints, which meant tiny details were visible, even in the small wallet-size images. On my to-do list for next week: order new prints for J’s parents and drop ship them to Nebraska.Across the board, Shutterfly sent back the top-quality photo prints. However, considering I can drive to my local Costco, which does print decently, faster than I can get to another Wal-mart, I am not really concerned about wasting time and money to see if a different WM can get their act together. I suppose it could just be my local Wal-mart and I should try a few other stores in my area before I make such general assumptions about Wal Mart print quality as a whole. Of all of the consumer print labs I have ever tried, Wal-mart definitely ranks at the bottom. I had a feeling they’d print horribly, but was shocked at HOW horrible they were. So, the moral of the story – don’t print through Wal-Mart. The prints were dark and yellow compared to my control prints (printed at my professional lab.) Even when you turn off auto-correct the prints still turn out awful. She said “not great” but indicated that they were “passable” and would work fine for her purpose. When I picked up my test prints from her I just shook my head in dismay – how in the world my calibrated images can print so horribly is beyond me. My friend texted me later in the evening to say “Thank you” for uploading the images and I asked her how they looked. The prints came back awful, but I couldn’t rule out that it wasn’t the result of the lab-applied auto correct. A new set of test prints, with auto-correct turned off, would be required in order to solidify my opinion of Wal-mart’s printing capabilities. With this in mind, when I uploaded my friend’s order to Snapfish (which will allow me to send the prints to Wal-Mart) I included a few images for test prints. I forgot to turn off auto-correct for the set I initially ordered from Wal-Mart. Over the past few months, I have been ordering test prints from various consumer print labs in order to see how my professional quality portraits are printed. There was one upside to ordering from Wal-mart. Normally I’d tell her she is crazy and that I refuse to allow Wal-mart to print my beautiful portraits, but I didn’t have time to set her up with my pro-lab prints or even prints from my typical local source- Costco. I responded in the affirmative and she asked for me to send them to Wal-mart for the sake of time and convenience. “Can u print the pix from our session for J’s parents? They leave tomorrow to go home” I received a text from my friend around 10:30am on Thursday morning:
