the best place to get digital photographs printed?

Going through my pics on the PC with a view to getting a huge load printed. I've used photobox previously (only use photobucket for Dogsey) but wondered if there were any other 'sites' that were any good ?

Hi Phil, if you have a Cannon camera, they have a site where you can post your pics, the quality of the images are very good, you can olso opt to share with them.

I use Photobox I think the more you want printed out the cheaper they get. If you order in the morning they are usually delivered next day.

Phil do you own.

I use a program called ACDSee Ver 8 and I've never had a bad photo.

The other thing to take into consideration is the quality of your printer.

The big prints are expensive but all I pay is P&P for 6 x 4 prints when I order

Just got them done in town. £14 for 100 7x5 prints in a one hour service.

As for my printer it's nadged - looking for a new one now actually so if anybody has any suggestions.

I nearly went for a small Epsom picturemate but in light of our printer breaking I'm going to go for an A4 one. Also like to get one with scanner/copier on top as we use that a lot. Oh and card readers.

Steve gets them done at Jessops, £6.99 for 50 7x5 prints, fairly good quality. You must always remember digital prints will cut off edges off prints unless you specifically ask for them to "scale to fit" in shops anyway.

Tell me about it. Half of the lot I've had done are cropped funny. Not that fussed though as the ones I really like seem fine.

I like photobox as you can 'place' the red cropping box yourself when ordering. I got a few A4 high res landscape ones a while ago and was really pleased with them.
