online photo printing?

Yukon · 23 Aug 2006 at 19:35

My aunt is looking to print 120 photos from her holiday and was asking me if I knew where she could get them printed. I've not used any of these services but we are looking for a reasonably priced place that produce good quality prints.

Anyone used these? Any suggestions?

www.photobox.co.uk produce great results, i've ordered 6 30"x20" posters from there that look great, there are always good offers on too.

Been using photobox for about 4 years now and don't have a single complaint. Good prices, great service.

This is the only complaint i have, the prints tend to come a little dark, but i didnt calibrate my monitor to their settings (mainly as i dont know how) but ive learnt to compensate by just brightening the darker ones a touch.

That's nothing for Photobox, I ordered 30 6 x 4s (using up the joining offer) at a little after 7pm, within the hour I had a e-mail saying they were shipped and I had them the next day! :eek:
