T O P I C R E V I E WREDPLANETHi has anyone ever bought a 16x20 print from Ofoto or shutterfly? Just wondering how it turned out. I was thinking about buying Young saluting the flag (the jump pic).Any help would be appreciated. ThanksCindys_1 quote:Originally posted by REDPLANET:Hi has anyone ever bought a 16x20 print from Ofoto or shutterfly? Just wondering how it turned out.

ThanksThey are both good photo companies, I think Kodak owns Ofoto.What you need to be sure is that you have a high resolution photo to send to them.------------------CindyBenI have used Ofoto and found them great.But then I tried www.photoaccess.com and found they are just as good and a lot cheaper. So I stick with them now. Plus they offer 11x14 which the others don't.I have not, though, ordered 16x20. -Ben[This message has been edited by Ben (edited December 11, 2003).]AztecdougFor what it's worth I use Shutterfly. They use the Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper. That is good stuff.I did do a 16"x20" of Earthrise on Ofoto once. When the Lovell signing came around I took a long hard look at my Ofoto pic and decided to go with the in stock pic at Novaspace. I thought the Fuji paper that Novaspace provided had richer colors. The Ofoto pic I had was a little but grayer. That could be due to many factors though.------------------Warm RegardsDouglas HenryEnjoy yourself and have fun.... it is only a hobby![This message has been edited by Aztecdoug (edited December 11, 2003).]eurospace quote:Originally posted by Ben:But then I tried www.photoaccess.com and found they are just as good and a lot cheaper.

What you need to be sure is that you have a high resolution photo to send to them.
