Your photo prints. - Page 2

Photobox would be the one I'd use too.

I got myself a compact dye sub printer recently as they're supposed to produce results that aren't as vulnerable to moisture as inkjet prints generally are. Haven't tried it yet but I have some candidates from Florida to try when I get time.

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

Ok, I'll give them a go

Thanks

Ahh I thought I remembered photobox, I used to use them a while back because they were partners with CPW and I got 25 photos free so thought I'd see if they were any good.
From what I remember, they were good quality

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.

Snapfish is another online photo printing company ...i believe they are now owned by HP same sort of prices as photobox and if you sign up now you get your first 20 prints free

I've just uploaded my pics to PhotoBox.. Selected the item to print.. There's an option for "Shrink to fit".

Shall I tick this or leave it unticked??

Another Photobox thumbs up here. I used them last year when I did some event photography and they were excellent.

Shrink to fir means the picture you have will be adjusted to fit into whatever size print you want without chopping off edges anywhere. It may mean you will end up with a smaller than you thought picture though. You can preview it though, I think.

Admiral Huddy · 23-05-2007, 16:25

Does it reduce the quality?

Desmo · 23-05-2007, 16:32

Quality should be unaffected. Only thing you might have is white borders on either top/bottom or left/right if the original photo isn't the same proportions as the one you're ordering.
