I’ve got some family photos that matter more to me than my camera gear, and I want to make prints that will last. WhiteWall’s website looks great, but I’d rather hear from photographers with real experience.
Who have you trusted with important photos? Mostly 5×7s, some 11×16s, and eventually a couple of 48” wall pieces. Looking for archival quality and matte or fine art papers. Is WhiteWall the real deal, or is there somewhere better?
I have limited experience but its all very positive. I had a sale for a print that my customer wanted to fit in an existing unusual frame. The print size was ~ 31" x 41". Whitewall delivered a great print in only a few days - ups'd from Germany. The customer was thrilled. They were responsible for having the print mounted in the frame.
I saw the finished product and couldn't help but smile. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for paper prints.
I'll jump in. I've been using Whitewall for years now and they are my go-to for all fine art prints. Their quality is simply unmatched IMHO. Have done a variety of media with them (Acrylic block, face mount, aluminum, and paper). They are pricey but it is worth it. For my most demanding stuff this is where I go.
Note that they are not inexpensive, and their turnaround times are reasonable but not the 24-hour turn you get from Millers and such (which I also use), but for the most exacting work they can't be beat.
They offer proofs with watermarking for a substantial discount if you want to try something out, and they have sample-packs for a reasonable price with small prints of each of their finishes and papers, great for clients or even your own use choosing.
