Big Colour prints from dig' wheres the best & cheapest?
My source for producing large (20x16 & 30x20) glossy prints from Dig' images has dried up unfortunately...does anyone know of a cheap but excellent standard print producer who can repro from email/cd images as I'd be most greatful! Guess I could look in some of the monthly photo mags ads.
Cheers, SB |

I've used www.photobox.co.uk for some prints, and the quality is excellent. So good in fact, that I now use them to produce prints that I sell.

I can second photobox. Had a digital print from a Nikon Coolpix 5400 blown up to A2 size and printed and it is quality.
For what it's worth my friend who is a music photographer uses them also. |

I've heard nothing but positives about photobox, I haven't used them myself yet (only just gone digital and not got around to having any prints done) but that's who I'm intending to use.

I use Colab. I find they are excellent quality and if you are not happy with the results you get to talk to a human and they will normally redo your stuff. Prices are up to about £12 for the larger size you want.

Thanks guys...those prices are a lot better than I had to pay recently in a hurry (Snappy Snaps shop chain) even with a discount! When I next need some blow-ups I'll be in contact, Cheers.

I reckon I can do a glossy 30" x 20" (76cm x 51cm) for about £10, I just need to price up the postage and packing!
