please use http://www.simlab.co.uk/about/photo.prints rather than tesco's kodak etc the quality is 100x better and is used by a lot of pro photographers!

no problem, when i was starting out i was always asking photographers and this one was a popular one and i'm pretty sure you don't need to be a pro to use it! it's about 12p for a 6 x 4 and 15p for a 7 x 5! which is really cheap! xxxx

I used Photobox for some wedding prints http://www.photobox.co.uk/

Very pleased and I got an offer where if I signed up I got 60 (small) prints free. I recently got a couple more wedding photos (large) printed up from there for a photoframe for my parents, was pleased with the quality again - though I can believe the more knowledgeable might find a problem, they're certainly alright by me.

As I wrote on another thread though, http://www.bobbooks.co.uk/ makes for an amazingly professional photo book, I love them.

I've used Apple's iphoto hardback books before - obviously not wedding albums, but I've always been happy with their quality.

photobox are fine but if you compared a photo from photobox and a photo from simlab you'd be really suprised of the quality and standard hense why i started this post to give people the choice to have better quality than your standard photo printers don't get me wrong I've used photobox before i started doing photography on the side but ever since i have been i wouldn't touch them again knowing whats out there. xxx

I didn't like photobox myself, I thought the quality was poor.

I've so far used kodak own website and snapfish. Snapfish was brillant as you can add borders. I had a photo of our wedding car that was altered into black/white but the telephone box and post box was kept red so I added the red love heart and swirls either end of the love heart border to it and it looked great.

Both kodak and snapfish did the 50 free prints, its why I went with them. So at the moment I have 150 photos including the photobox one, not all wedding ones, but mainly that and photobox was the only one I didn't like.

I've been very impressed with everything I've had done on blurb.com - I got a lovely honeymoon album from there...Very high quality.

Just came on here to ask where is best for making printed photo books!!

I did read an article on it a few years ago. Top for quality was http://www.bobbooks.co.uk/ and if you compare like for like prices with other places it's not that expensive, it just appears so at first one you're used to seeing "photobook for a fiver" offers. (unless you want a plain covered, 5 page album the price will go up and up!)

I did get an email from Albelli photo books today weirdly enough, who I also used for a small cheap £5 album who I was pleased with. Customer service above all was great - there was a problem with my order, they resent another book and refunded the money I paid for 2 so I basically got 2 free!
