A head-to-head review of the best photo print labs in the United States.
, who has been using NMFA for print fulfillment of his images for a long time. NMFA was quite eager to participate in this review and my communication with one of their owners, Lyric Moya, has been nothing but exemplary.
I would highly recommend NMFA’s acrylic prints as a budget-conscious high-quality option that will impress your customers. A 20×30 acrylic from NMFA will cost you $255 using their pro pricing and again, shipping is $20, based on the size of the print. NMFA can go all the way up to the 60×120 print size on their acrylics, which is much larger than what most labs will offer. Fulfillment of an acrylic print from NMFA takes 5-15 business days.
Also, the canvas comes as a mirrored edge for the wrap, which isn’t my personal favorite for all photos, and when ordering through their website, there are no options for further customization regarding hanging hardware or the wrap. Bumblejax can go up to 60″ on the long edge of their canvas prints. A 20×30retails at $178, which drops to $151 using their reseller discount.
My image looked great as a Bumblejax acrylic print and the photo quality was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend Bumblejax to other photographers based on my experience and I rated their acrylic in the top four out of the eight I received. A 20×30 acrylic from Bumblejax will cost you $325 and with their reseller discount that comes down to $276.
Images are printed on museum-grade cotton canvas and are laminated by a protective gloss for added longevity. My canvas print came without any defects and was quite similar to other canvas prints I received for this review. It matched my expectations for color fidelity, quality, and hanging hardware, but nothing about the canvas print from Nations was particularly special.
Lastly, the use of the 1/4″ acrylic has one disadvantage for those using overhead lighting – it can create a shadow on the print itself due to the protruding size of the acrylic. All-in-all though, I think Nations creates a Unfortunately, I would not recommend Nations Photo Lab to someone looking for a partner to print their images as high-end fine art prints. You can see my ratings of Nations Photo Lab below.has widely been known as one of the best labs for large format reproduction services and have made quite a name for themselves by marketing their proprietary “Lumachrome” acrylic prints to photographers who own galleries or sell high-end large format images.
