Starting out as an old-line professional film lab in Atlanta, GA., MyPhotopipe.com (OTC: MPPC) has become an online resource for digital artists. The company is an online provider of digital photo processing, photo finishing, photo sharing, and other related services. They offer over 1,000 print options, manual print inspections, and professional color management, which makes MyPhotopipe.com a future leader in the digital photography realm.
The company produces their work in-house, as they print every image in their national lab in Atlanta, eliminating the need for, and costs associated with, a contract lab. Digital photographs can be transformed into photographic prints, folioprints, multi-photo prints, panoramic, canvas and fine art, canvas gallery wraps, framed, mounted, pr prints, greeting cards, proof books, contact sheets, calendars, and numerous other options. The customer can choose from 1,000 combinations of print sizes and surfaces. After the photographer has chosen their specifications, there is a personal inspection and then the images are mounted on professional Gatorboard, gallery wrapped on southern pine, or framed and wrapped, all of which are done by hand.
The company offers two ways to upload photos for processing. The recommended ROES (Remote Order Entry System) is available for download on the company’s website. ROES offers the photographer the ability to crop photos and preview the photo before it is printed. The other option is to use PhotoCentral PC & Mac, which does not include the option of cropping or any of the other advantages the company offers.
In 2005, the worldwide market for digital photo processing services was at $38 billion, and it is forecast to reach $107 billion in the year 2009. Industry experts are predicting that photos ordered over the Internet in the U.S. will increase dramatically from $424 million seen in 2005, to approximately $1.9 billion in 2009.
