Best online photo printing options in Canada?

November 18, 2015 7:38 AM

Question for my fellow Canuck photographers - do you have a preferred option for online photo printing and delivery?

Most recent AskMe on this seems to be from '07.

Prefer ease of use, quality, and reliability over whatever is the cheapest option - as long as we're talking about payment in CAD.

Looking for mainly 4x6 but potentially some larger-format prints.

Best answer: I work for a pro photo company in Winnipeg, and we outsource a few things we can't print in-house to Technicare. They've always been very reliable and their quality is excellent. It looks like PixPortal is their consumer/prosumer site, although their 4x6es are not cheap - 30-50c each.

Costco Photo is my usual choice for basic 4x6 prints. I've always been happy with the quality and the price (10c) is really good. Online printing works well but you do have to pick up the prints yourself and be a Costco member.

Photolife magazine has a deal with Zenfolio and Pikto, and they claim these services are very Canuck friendly. Not direct experience, but I am considering it.

Response by poster: Ordered some images from Photobox, and have framed and hung a few 8x10. Was pleased with the results, and delivery was pretty quick. Thanks all!
