stevie Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I've finally bitten the bullet and sorted out the past 10 years of digital photos ready for printing. It was a major undertaking. I went online to look for a photoprinting company - but it's a minefield! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have 380 photos to print - so I don't want to get it wrong. The range of prices is vast. How can you tell what kind of quality you're going to get? Which companies have easy-to-use websites? You're my last hope. Edited January 15, 2014 by stevie Quote
andydye Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I use snapfish and they're pretty good, if your photos are on flickr they can be imported from there or you can upload them to the snapfish site. Quote
flyfisher Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I've been using Photobox for years and have been very pleased with them. I tend to only go for individual enlargements and prefer to print collections in their Photobooks. It takes a bit of time to sort the layouts and any captions but the end result is really good. I've had enlargements printed to 30x20 inches and the quality has always been very good. They also regularly do special offers so I tend to prepare the prints I want and just wait - half price photobooks are worth waiting for. Quote
Dave_the_bass Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The three places I've used are: tesco, good quality but my local store only offer one size of prints. Jessops, very good quality but a little expensive Costco, order online collect in store, cheap, good range of sizes, very good quality, excellent value for money. Only downside is needing a membership or knowing someone who is a member Quote
madshadows Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 My local Boots the chemist does prints from memory cards, phones etc., you can either do it via the till or actually do it yourself at a PC type printing machine, I'm sure most other Boots offer the same service John Quote
DorsetBlue Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Always used Photobox myself, never been disappointed. Quote
Zenitram Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 For professional-quality prints, I use www.peak-imaging.com. For high-street printing, Snappy Snaps is often said to be the best and most 'professional', despite the name. Quote
stevie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks guys. There aren't any local retail outlets near where I live. Photobox looked quite good - so I'm uploading to them now, or trying to anyway..... Quote

Zenitram Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 For what it's worth (not much, I expect): http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/1288996/photobox Quote
