I had a feeling they’d print horribly, but was shocked at HOW horrible they were.
So, the moral of the story – don’t print through Wal-Mart.

The prints were dark and yellow compared to my control prints (printed at my professional lab.) Even when you turn off auto-correct the prints still turn out awful. She said “not great” but indicated that they were “passable” and would work fine for her purpose. When I picked up my test prints from her I just shook my head in dismay – how in the world my calibrated images can print so horribly is beyond me. My friend texted me later in the evening to say “Thank you” for uploading the images and I asked her how they looked. The prints came back awful, but I couldn’t rule out that it wasn’t the result of the lab-applied auto correct. A new set of test prints, with auto-correct turned off, would be required in order to solidify my opinion of Wal-mart’s printing capabilities. With this in mind, when I uploaded my friend’s order to Snapfish (which will allow me to send the prints to Wal-Mart) I included a few images for test prints. I forgot to turn off auto-correct for the set I initially ordered from Wal-Mart. Over the past few months, I have been ordering test prints from various consumer print labs in order to see how my professional quality portraits are printed. There was one upside to ordering from Wal-mart. Normally I’d tell her she is crazy and that I refuse to allow Wal-mart to print my beautiful portraits, but I didn’t have time to set her up with my pro-lab prints or even prints from my typical local source- Costco.
I responded in the affirmative and she asked for me to send them to Wal-mart for the sake of time and convenience. “Can u print the pix from our session for J’s parents? They leave tomorrow to go home” I received a text from my friend around 10:30am on Thursday morning:
