Photobox Vs. Bonus Print

Trifid · 12 Aug 2007 at 19:34

Who is better for digital prints? My Dad has photos from Bonus print that are 20years old that still look good. Are Photobox the same? (I realise they haven't been going for that long!)

(They are my sisters graduation photos btw taken on a Casio Exilim Z1000.)

Thanks, Trif.

Also 4x6", is that the right aspect ratio for a 4:3 camera?... :confused:

6x4 = 3:2 ratio, not 4:3

Photobox will do prints at 6x4.5 which is 4:3 though

I love Photobox and use them all the time. I've had sizes right up to 20x30" done - that particular one is framed and on my landing, where it gets a good amount of direct sunlight in the evenings but its not faded yet...

So are prints from Photobox of high quality? Keeping in mind these photos will be kept for a lifetime, with copies being exposed to sunlight.

Well who can really say for sure. It all pdepends on the paper and inks that they use. These could change from time to time as they could with bonus print, so your never rally going to know for sure until you buy them.

Just make sure you never lose the digital originals!

The ones I have are still absolutely perfect

You'll find most places use the same equipment anyway

I have 4 photobox posters that are 30"x20" from last summer I think, and they're still stunning quality, 2 don't catch the sun and look perfect, 2 do catch the sun and they still look perfect too, I can't fault them.
