Prints - who does the best digital prints on the UK high street?
Here's a problem.
When I use a film camera (35mm and medium format) I take my films to Jessops for prints. In my experience they do just about the best job on the high street, I have found. But 6 months ago I went digital with a Nikon D200. I've taken some amazing pictures with it and feel I could never truly go back to film now. Except when it comes to making prints. I've taken my ditigal pictures to Jessops and found that the fine detail and richness in the pictures just isn't turning up in a physical print. They seem to have a colour-photocopier type feel to them. Out of frustration I've tried most other high street options and even the in-store services you get at supermarkets. Kodak shops do a reasonable job but on the whole I've been very dissaponited. Anyone know why? Anyone know who does a particulalry good job? Do I have to go to a pro place and pay pro prices? |

Personally - I recommend.. (I know these are not high street - but they may
still be useful) http://www.photobox.co.uk/ this firm has an online upload and order service.. Or - even better in my experience, but a bit more hassle http://www.proamimaging.com/pricelist.html With this one you have to prep yuor images to their spec and send them on a CD They are however, dirt cheap - and excellent quality... (better than photobox in my opinion) Hope that helps..
