Online photo printers

[audi321]

Hi all, I've done a search and been back a few pages but I can't find any threads.

Who do you guys use for printing photos? I'm looking for the best balance between cost and quality. I've been to Asda tonight to get some printed on their instant machine and I'm not impressed with either their cost or quality lol.

Thanks in advance!

DSCL for big runs of small prints. A local outfit called Norton Frame and Print for big stuff, canvases and framed stuff.

The Print Space for me http://www.theprintspace.co.uk/ not the cheapest but very good quality and great service

I've always been very pleased with Photobox.

Got a sale on at the moment too.

Loxley Colour. Best combination of quality & value.

Photobox are the DFS of the printing world in that regard. There's always some sort of deal on (and I'm not complaining about that.)

DS Colour Labs, never had a problem, prints always look top draw, prices are good to

DSCL without question.

Probably ordered 5,000 prints from them over the last few years. Good quality prints with great prices and prompt delivery.

The only negative is the flat rate of £4.80 for postage, but they do come very well packaged.

I have never had an issue with photobox but as others have said, when it comes to large items I often wait for a sale. You don't have to wait long.

I have been using DSCL for processing, not yet for prints. May try them soon.

Pretty much this, except OneVision Imaging for the larger prints as they're my local lab.

These, away to order some large prints and wouldn't go anywhere else.

I've used Photobox in the past with no issues (camera club competition entries), just waiting for an order now hopefully they're as good now as they were.

Web ordering wasn't as good as I remembered, although I do like the options for cropping etc as you order with the indication of quality (all mine are High Quality thankfully).

Another +1 for Loxley.

I've used Loxley a few times recently and I like them. But the only down side with them is the software that you have to use to place an order. I find it a bit annoying........

Know what you mean Gemm, but believe it or not it's a hell of a lot better than it used to be ;-)

Haha, that's a relief!

Just received 2 12x8 prints, very good quality and 2 day delivery. Now waiting for an A3 print.
