When we tested | August 2020 | August 2020 |
Summary | Walmart is the best photo lab for local pick up. They've recently started using a type of lab called a "dry lab" which produces extremely vivid images. Walmart's one-hour turnaround is also the quickest when compared to other local options like CVS, Walgreens, and Office Depot. Walmart's local pick up photo quality is surprisingly better than ordering online. | Artifact Uprising specializes in unique cardstock photos. They use an American-made paper, Mohawk, based in New York. While the prints look and feel beatuifully, when compared side-by-side to a high-end photo lab like Nations, we rate them at 80% for vibrancy. |
