High Street printing services - any recommendations?

[Pupp]

Have an image that I want to get a good quality and durable A4 or A3 print of done. Looks great on (presently uncalibrated) screen but I'm wondering if it will print faithfully or can be 'corrected' if necessary by the printer...any of the high street operators offer a reprint service 'til satisfied?

Or am I better getting my cheapo screen calibrated?

My experience from doing my own prints is I calibrated using the Dolby calibration routine sometimes found on films such as pirates of the caribbean.

My outputs are pretty much spot on for what I see on screen but then I print my own stuff. I have to say, as loathed as I am, that I have used jessops and they have been good but expensive

any decent place you should be able to see the image on a calibrated screen and print - or at least voice your concerns to the staff.

Simple!!

Loxley Colour Labs in Glasgow.

Not exactly High Street, but,...

One of the, if not, the best lab in Scotland,.... maybe even GB!

I've used them on a regular basis, for all my print orders, for well over 10 years.

If you're concerned about the colour shift,... just give them a bell and explain your situation/concerns.

They'll be glad to help,... and believe me,... you're pic will be in the hands of true professionals.

Good luck!
