Best place for prints

PESolution · 23 Jun 2009 at 19:23

Hello,
having only used boots in the passed, whats the best place (reasonably priced) for prints. Looking to get about 200 done of mixed sizes.

Also are there any places at the moment that have those inroductory offers where you get the first x amount free?

Cheers,

Jack

Photobox are ok for snaps... but tbh not brilliant (ie much better than tesco etc but not up there with the "proper" printers).

Loxley however are much better (have printed the same photos from both and found Loxley far better), and for large prints are actually cheaper. However you need to remember that Photobox use two printers, the one for small prints (7x5 etc) produces apparently good photos, but there has been a lot of moaning about bigger prints.

What sort of sizes are you looking at?

Another shout for Loxley. Been using them for some of our school portraits and they're fantastic. The metallic prints are especially gorgeous (though I'm not a fan of glossy prints, it is something we've been offering to parents).

Not cheap when you start looking away from prints though - books and other options are above what most would be looking for, though the standard is apparently exquisite, and I guess are aimed more at wedding togs than other self-publishing themes.
