Printing?

I want to print out the photos i take and want them pro standard but at cant really afford the 2 grand price tag these printers come with

(unless you can reccomend anything much cheaper )

so does anyone know of any companies that (reccomended!) can do printing out of serveral pictures but really decent quality? not a massive rush for turnaround as they are just for me and friends....?

thanks

I would not even consider buying a pro printer for home use. The value ratio for prints is really not worth it.

I and Sammy (Samnooshka) both use Loxley ROES. Its an online ordering system. You download the software and can send your order online. They have an excellent turnaround.

thanks - id didnt want to as i didnt see the need lol!

i have a good printer for my letters etc.... also can do photos on that but i want a good decn t finish with pics i can frame!

thanks for the link

Good question Suze.
My plan is to send off the same images to various places then compare them.
I'll add that lab to the list!
I have also had this place recommended to me:

hi

i picked a differnt company and they were 40p a print - two are done with different finishes and 1 has a border on them all 7x5 ii think - so see how they turn out.....

i will try the link above next too

i dont want bad quality on my walls or friends walls..... hence why im going to try so hard to look at the different companies!

i tried asda as well..... i was not impressed at al!!!

they cut half my photo off but! the finish was nice and would look very nice framed and put on a wall but unreliable springs to mind!!!

am going to try boots too just purely because its 5 mins from me and they can be done in an hour (the time it takes me to shop )


eta as well - which is better matt/gloss??? thanks

If you are going to try out different labs it would be worth going for the same image and same size so you can do side by side comparisons - thats my plan.

I always have matt finish. If it goes in a frame the gloss finish is not necessary and it can also add a glare in the glass.

little me - thanks

dawn - i decided on matt finish too - i have got my pics back from 1 place that look good - but its semi-gloss? and i dont like the thought of them framed (they are currently stuck with blue tack on my wall (just to get the effect!)

so matt it is

now i have to decide with a white border or not..... so again - ordered both!

Very happy with photobox here.
