Quality of Prints:
Clark Color Labs produced prints that were simply exceptional. To get a better feel of the quality of their prints, we sent the same set of digital photos to all of the online digital photo processors and developers - that we reviewed. Below is our analysis on the Clark Color prints:

Close-up Photos: Clark Color offers colors that are brighter than the original and the photos look rich on paper.

Scenic & Background Photos: The colors in this print look pretty good; and the photos offers some nice, sharp details. We could not find out any particular defects in the prints.

Pricing:
Clark Color Labs offer much lower prices than most of the online digital photo developing and printing services that we reviewed. In fact, they are the cheapest and on the top of the PrintMyPics List. Clark Color also provides volume discounts for those who wish to order bulk quantities.

Shipping Costs:
Clark Color charges the lowest price we've seen. To ship nine 4 x 6 inch prints, Clark Color Labs charged us $1.09. The actual postage for USPS First Class mail was $0.83. This means that Clark Color charged us just $0.26 - towards their packaging and handling costs. Although this photo printing service does offer competitive shipping rates, we found that their packaging was a bit skimpy. Our prints arrived in a paper sleeve, re-inforced with a lightweight cardboard piece, which was wrapped in a paper envelope. However, as our prints arrived in perfect condition, we did not penalize Clark Color for their light packaging.

Turn Around Time:
For each service provider that we reviewed; we gave them one to four days to ship us our finished prints in order to receive a high score in this category. Clark Color positively met our requirements.

Other Services:
As far as extra services go, Clark Color Labs offered a bunch of creative, photo-based gifts to choose from. These gifts range from baby bibs to greeting cards, t-shirts to tote bags and more.

Using Clark Sharing service, you can share your photos online for free - during a 30-day trial period.
