I just thought I'd share a discovery I made the other day. After having received a series of substandard prints that were supposed to be fine art quality from various printers I tried these guys and I'm more than happy with them. Brilliant customer service and the prints are top notch.
I'm in no way affiliated with them, I just thought I'd share after having my fingers burnt with some other folks. |

What did you have done by them?
And how much did it cost you?
I've been planning to get some of my photos blown up, but haven't decided what or who to go with yet. |

I agree about photobox, the ones I printed at home on my HP printer were better quality and better colour matched.
I also use pics2posters.co.uk for A1/A2 printing - customer service is ace! |

You need to be careful with your colour profiles with most places. Photobox used to have two different types of printers, one of which supported embedded profiles and the other which did not. I convert everything to sRGB for them and have had no problems You do need to calibrate your own system too of course. |

Colour Profiles shouldn't be too much of an issue, as I know what I'm doing with that.
Was probably looking to go a little bigger than A4 though.
They've got so many different papers though, would be nice to sample them... but at the sametime I don't think I can be arsed to pay a fiver to have a sample pack. |

Yes, the problem is that they generally don't. |

After a review on 'the gadget show' i looked this kind of stuff up. if you want quality, go for One vision. if you want best value for money go for snapfish. |

Yeah, could easily have done it now.
But will probably just wait till I get home, as I still need to decide which of my shots I want blown up for the wall. |
