Re: online printers???

Never worry about asking questions. There is usually always someone who can answer.

I use photobox a lot, and I think that they are very good.

I have had lots of sizes up to 10 x 8 and the quality is always excellent.

If you try and blow up a pic too big thus the quality will weaken it tells you on the screen.

Their photo books are very good too.

Also the turnarround service is great and they e mail you when the pics have been dispatched.

Hope this helps.

Re: online printers???

Again - can't fault Photobox.

Prints have been good and delivery time is fantastic.

Not sure if other sites are the same but I like the cropping guide and the way it displays the expected quality for each image when you choose the size print you want.

Thank you

I think I will try Photobox. They seem reasonably priced, and if the quality is good, so i will try them.

I looked at the photo books, nice idea, for a present.

Re: online printers???

A lot of professional developers (well known high street company ) do tend to loose some of the picture around the edges, don't know about online firms. If sending for pics to be developed it is always a good idea to allow for this when taking a picture.
