Any Lab Suggestions in Ontario?

[CristinaArce]

Hey peeps! I have a question for you all: who do you use for prints and products?

I have been using a professional lab from US, but I find the shipping rates to be horrible… so I am trying to find a Canadian option. Do you know of a REALLY GOOD vendor in Canada? For professional photographers.

I am looking for amazing quality for professional photo books (albums), canvas, frames/mounting and big metallic prints (16x20 or bigger) hopefully all in one place.

Basically I am looking for a Canadian version of WHCC, Miller’s, BayPhoto… (Some of these companies do ship to Canada but shipping fees are pricey and also crazy customs delays ). – I’d like to find more about Canadian sources without sacrificing quality and turnaround time.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you guys!

Hey Cristina. I use Pikto, in the distillery district in Toronto. Although I work out of Ottawa I'm in Toronto often so it isn't too inconvenient for me.

I should point out that I can only really vouch for their prints up to 8x12--I haven't printed anything larger with them. I'm currently offering their 'lay-flat' books which, I think, are the highest quality books they offer. I don't know what level of quality you're looking for and what your criteria are, so I'd recommend dropping by sometime (if possible !) to check out their wares.
