Digital Photography

Mpix 2.0 by Jon Sienkiewicz You could be missing the Big Picture – and a whole lot more Article rating: 9.33

You could be missing the big picture. And the puzzle. Gallery wrap. Calendar. In fact, if you only look at your digital images on your computer monitor, you could be missing the fun and excitement that millions of other photographers have found: prints and imprinted objects that show off your finest work.

If you own an inkjet printer you’re well on your way toward turning transitory images into physical objects. And inkjet printing can become a passion unto itself. For those of us who want to spend more of our time taking pictures instead of printing them—but still want to enjoy the tangible gratification of holding a finely finished product—there’s a great solution that’s nearby.

Do what professional photographers do: have a top quality lab print your best images. If you live in a big city you probably have a high quality photo lab nearby. If not, follow the path pros have been taking for the past 40 years—send your work to the biggest lab in the country.

Mpix is the digital solutions division of Miller Labs, the largest professional photo lab in the United States—possibly the largest in the world. They’ve been serving professional photographers since 1968. Pros appreciate the convenience of being able to concentrate on image making and put their trust in Miller Labs to handle the output. Serious amateurs who want the same professional-level quality can do likewise. Mpix offers easy, on-line access to their full range of professional services at prices that everyone can afford. And now Mpix has relaunched their website—Mpix 2.0—with a new, more complete assortment of services, new tools for a streamlined ordering process and additional professional products.

And the variety of services and products is staggering. You can order Wall Clings,  Greeting Cards, Standouts, Gallery Wraps, Calendars, Magazine Covers, Assembled Albums, Statuettes, Puzzles, Buttons, Memory Mates, Trader Cards, Tickets (very cool, by the way), Proof Portfolios—get the idea?—Photo Books, Folded Greeting Cards, Postcards, Business Cards, Playing Cards—and more. They also offer retouching services (they can even remove braces from teeth).

Forty years of experience has taught Miller Labs exactly what professionals need. All work is done with an expert eye and extreme attention to detail. There is only one way to describe the care that is exercised with every order—if you were to handle, process, pack and deliver the prints and printed items yourself, you could not do a more careful job. No corners are cut, no compromises made. Mpix handles every picture as if they took it.

Here’s the best part for those of us who still shoot film from time to time: Mpix will develop 35mm color negative film (C41 process), scan the negatives at 1228x1818 (6.39MB JPEG format files) and post the thumbnails on their website for your review. Full resolution scans can be purchased on a CD which is shipped to you along with your processed negatives. To underscore their commitment to quality, the prints you order from the negatives are packaged separately to avoid damage.
