    online photo printing

    I've not printed any photos for ages but I'm determined to pull my finger out

    Years ago I used photobox and was very happy with them. But times change.

    Please can anyone recommend an online photo processor?

    Quality is my main concern then price, service etc

    bonusprint? trueprint? snapfish?

    Re: online photo printing

    The only one I've had any experience of is the iPhoto Mac one, of which I will say was first class

    I had a couple of large photobooks printed and as well as being good quality and a fast service, it was also extremely competitively priced, from what I could tell

    But friends of mine have also used Snapfish and said they were very good too

    I'm interested in peoples answers too

    Both came out very well on the Gadget show along with Tesco

    best for quality was One Vision, but they are very expensive

    There's a recent review here: http://fwd.five.tv/gadget-show/video...photo-printing

    If you have trouble watching the video the overall winner (price/quality) was www.snapfish.co.uk

    Re: online photo printing

    For most online labs, print quality is up to the operator on that particular day, how regularly the machine is being calibrated and how soon after that calibration your prints are being done.

    Therefore, most of the time, it's a bit hit and miss, so pick the one that has the best offer going for what you want to have printed.

    My Dad uses his local Asda print service: good quality which doesn't seem to depend on the operator, and competitive on price.

    For 'non online', I would personally recommend Costco. They do an excellent service.
