Every time you upload photos, even if you've already said you want to make prints, Shutterfly interrupts the purchase process to say 'We've turned your images into a book' and forces you to dismiss this unwanted dialog just to get to the thing you actually wanted to buy. I also found the constant upselling on the website tiring. But the prints have a flat look to them and the paper is flimsy compared to our top picks. The tonal range is good, shadows don't disappear into pure black, and at the white end of the spectrum, clouds retain plenty of detail. I've used Shutterfly to create everything from calendars to books and have been happy with the results, but the company's prints are not the best. You can import images from just about anywhere, including Lightroom, Flickr, Instagram, Google Photos, Facebook, and Dropbox, or directly from your computer.Ģ5 4 x 6 Prints From Printique Cost $7.75 ($.31 Per Print) Colors are very true to life, with rich blacks and good details in both shadows and highlights.Īnother place Printique shines is the photo upload process. I went for the Kodak Endura Luster paper (which is also what Mpix uses). Printique is also on the pricier end, but the extra money gets you much better prints. I also like the option to print the date and file name on the back of each image. A part of the reason is also options: You can choose a range of papers and they're listed by their actual names like Kodak Endura or Fujifilm Matte. In the end, I went with Mpix because you get free shipping and frequent sales make it cheaper, but if printing quality is your only concern, Printique wins by a hair. Choosing between Printique and Mpix was one of the toughest calls I've had to make in this job. The best quality prints in my testing came from Adorama's Printique service, formerly called Adoramapix.
