Pixaco and D60 print quality

[parrot of doom]

I used Pixcao's website www.pixaco.co.uk recently and uploaded one of my best images so far this year, and had them print and send me a copy at 30x20 inches, costing £12 plus P&P.

please note I'm not advertising them!

Anyhow, the image I sent was a 2048x3072 jpg file, taken on my 6mp D60. Took a couple of minutes to upload to their website (you just drag the image into a box on their webpage, dead easy).

This is what came back today:



I was deeply impressed. The quality of the paper is superb, glossy but very suitable for mounting behind glass. The resolution is excellent, I reckon they use a bit of interpolation when printing, because there isn't really any fuzziness to the image at all.

In short, if you have a few nice piccies that you want to hang on your walls, give this service a go. Highly recommended.

Took me a moment to realise that was a photo of the photo...

Similarly I used www.photobox.co.uk for the first time last week and was very pleased with results, cost and service.

That's cos there is a ) at the end of the link that needs deleting.

I too use photobox and find it great! Keep meaning to try Pixaco to see how they compare.
