I'd say MPix quality is better than Walmart as you generally have more control over color, are working with professionals that know what they're doing and are printing to high machines no matter what. I've used MP in the past and have liked the results. The papers are probably where you will either like MP or not. I'd suggest ordering their sample pack to see what they offer. I wouldn't use MP for wedding clients, but for about everything else, they're fine.

I use mpix 99.5% of the time for prints. I've printed up to 24x30's with them. Their quality is great, quick shipping, great CS. I use a local lab here in town if I ever need something "today quick".

Well, I took the advice and ordered one print from MPix. All I have to say is..

WOW.

The quality of the paper is great. The picture came out real nice and clear. I'm am completely satisfied. Not only is the print great, I received it pretty quickly. I was expecting to receive it sometime next week.
I'm definitely going to order more from MPix.
Thank you!
