Your photo prints.

Admiral Huddy · 14-05-2007, 09:27

Where do you get your digital photos printed? Or do you do them yourself?

I took some images into Boots this morning hoping to leave them but it's self service. Self Service?? Hang on, I come into the shop, produce the prints myself and then have to pay??

I have over 100 images I'd like printed so not sure really what's best. I never attempted to print quality prints from home before.

I have used truprint once, but found that the ones i printed on the ip4000 were just as good

Is there any tips you could give me for printing? paper quality.. is there anything I have to do to the image to get it on normal size photo paper. Bit of a newbie here.

I use a HP photosmart 325 bluetooth printer as I just use it for photos from my phone. Cost me about £40 with a staff discount last year but it probably costs that new now anyhow. Seems to print out quite good quality photos.

I bought my photo paper off ebay, and as it's designed just for photos it sorts out all the resizing stuff.
Certainly good for a budget choice imo.

Do I not have to resixe the image in "ImageReady" or something?

I've used Photobox before. You can store your pics online and pre-pay for photo credits. Quality and service have been very good.

That sounds like a good idea.

I think i'll have a go printing myself first and if no luck, i'll use them.

You probably won't be able to beat Photobox for price and quality. Its like 10p per 6x4 print now. I'd highly recommend them. They'll show if your image fits onto the paper size too and you can adjust things to fit. You'll get them next day too.

I need to get some pics printed for family so that sounds great!

I can't praise them enough. Everything from 6x4 to giant canvas's to books to glass blocks with the photo etched inside. I use them for everything. A pack of wedding prints got lost in the post so they sent out a 2nd batch for me free of charge. Both turned up and the client was super happy

Same here. I've had prints from 6"x4" all the way up to 30"x20" - most have arrived in 48 hours from ordering and have been great quality.

Not tried the books yet - but I will.

Plus their pro galleries work well and most importantly get money to the Vulcan to the Sky Trust.
