[Closed] Online Photo Printing

First up, have you looked at online photo services?

Good quality prints, often with next day delivery, without cluttering up the house with a printer or shelling out ridiculous amounts for ink.

Failing that, [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/i-need-a-new-printer-any-recommendations ]look at the other thread about printers[/url] 😀

I use online print services (cheaper, better in the long run etc..) except for one offs and urgent stuff where i use the canon. see other thread.

I didnt see the other thread - sorry (now I feel proper stupid!)

Unless you've got a good colour management stytem I would go order prints off of the web.
I have a monitor calibrator and a fairly decent printer but it gets nowhere near the quality and reproduction of ordering from an online service.

The Gadget Show did a mega test half a dozen or so shows ago on this very subject.
Check out Demand 5 on their site.

My brother is into photography. Has a stupidly expensive printer, that has 3 shades of black or something. And he's got the kit for calibrating his screen etc.
He reckons the prints from [url= http://uk.foto.com/ ]foto.com[/url] are absolutely top notch, better than he can do.

aldiphotos are very good value for money. Not been disappointed with print quality and have ordered photos up on A2-A1 size. Very impressed.

Makes the running costs of a good quality photo printer a bit silly really.

I've always been happy with the output from Photobox.

Photobox seconded.

Funny, usually you get a flurry of people saying avoid photobox. I use foto.com.

Really?

Never heard a bad word about them. And they got a good mark on that Gadget Show round up too.

Really?

Could be. Never tried them for photobooks, just straight prints.
