Who do you use to get your digital photos printed (besides your own printer)?
I ordered some 10 x 8 prints Weds evening and they arrived in the post first thing this morning. Excellent service and quality and at a very reasonable price IMO from Bonusprint
Needs a small downloaded bit of software first time around but very straight forward.

I used bonusprint to print some shots from my Epic UK tour this year. They were for SWMBO's mum to take back to NZ. In the most part I was really happy. Thought their reds were a little off, but no biggy.

The one thing that did bother me, I very carefully cropped the images prior to sending, using their details from the site. On a couple of the shots they had cropped them a little more. I do not know why they did this to a couple and not others, there was no explanation given.

I checked my files at the time and it was not a mistake of mine. I would use them again, but would add a caveat that any cropping I should be informed before printing.

our local photographic shop had some special offers from kodak, e.g. 100 prints for £10. i took 100 images in on memory cards. they didn't tell me until i came to collect the prints that because the 100 were spread over 2 cards, that counted as 2 orders so i didn't get the special rate.

the next offer was 50 prints at a special price. this time i made sure they were all on one card. i wanted 2 sets of prints. when i went to collect them the first set were at the special price, the second were at a higher rate.

since then they don't get my business so i've been looking for somewhere else to get them done. thanks.

I use www.Photobox.co.uk although I don't normally use their print service. This facility allows you to download your digital photos to their site to store and share with your friends etc. who can then select and have printed. I think about 10p/print but have special offers eg first 10 prints free.
Worth a look at IMHO.

When your i France use ; http://www.photostation.fr/index.php Great service next day ready same day with small extra charge Normal tarifs 12cents a print really good quality--beter than when i use film in my Nikon F with the best lens evermade in use Todays expensive labs send back results worse than prints made from a casio 2meg pix extra slim!
Photostation can be found just about everywhere and has an online service-have your prints sent to the capitanarie

the 100 were spread over 2 cards, that counted as 2 orders
And photostation make a free CD so if you have a dozen cards in the shop they just burn them all together on one cd which goes to the central for printing!

Colabs are professional quality and you can send you images via email. May be a bit pricier than the high street though.
