Printing Digital Photos

krayzechick

I need to print off about 300 of my digital photos from the past 5 years. Where would you say is the best place to do it.

I want it cheap if possible, but if that means I have to loose quality i'd rather pay more.

Got some last year from an online place and they looked like i'd printed them from my home computer - terrible!! ASDA ones faded after 6 months too.
Printed some at a kodak point and they're fantastic - but too expensive.

Where do you recommend?

As Sooz said, get your free 100 prints (over and over with new email addresses too) I have had 300 this week alone!

They are excellent quality and arrive within 2 days.

I ordered some from pixmania before and they were terrible quality. Might sign up and order 10 and see what theyre like.

Hmmmm, quidco offers good cashback for photobox and pixum. What are these like?

Pixum have got their 1p per print (unlimited quantity) offer on, though delivery is £3.99 on 300 prints. You also get 25 free prints (actually 25 for each of your first 4 orders).

I was pleased with the the quality of mine (they were printed on 'Kodak Royal digital' paper if that means much to you). With the £6.75 quidco are now offering for new customers you can't go wrong!

I'd like someone with serious photographic experience to comment on their experiences of Pixum and/or Pixmania.

BECAUSE, I did a set of test prints with the same photos from both companies and there is a marked improvement in the pix from PIXMANIA.....

forget about trying to distinguish the difference in the quality of prints, I was shocked to find all 36 photos printed by PIXUM contained a small scratch/dash mark at exactly the same spot at the top of ALL the photos!!:eek: Obviously a piece of dust or hair or dirt that was in their printer when they printed my photos.

Side by side, my honest opinion is that PIXUM actually brightens up the pictures, making them look a bit washed out in the bright/white areas of the pictures.

I have been into digital photography seriously for over 5 years and I am all ready to print out over 1500 photos to make a travel scrapbook/album for my wife and I so it is absolutely imperative that I find an affordable but above all, good quality printing company.
