Dave Oliver had some printed off and was very happy with the service.

In terms of UI they dont make it easy to find anything and their prices seem a bit high. Thing that really puts me off though is they only allow online ordering for smallest print sizes, I take it Daves were film prints or 6x4s – you have to post a cd for wall mount sizes.

I might give them and photobox a try to compare.

Right now photobox looks better, especially as you get 30 free prints for signing up and Damians prints looked really good.

style over function eh chris!

You need to download the application to order larger sizes I think. Dave ordered 10 X 8 prints. They are meant as a pro/am setup, the prints should last a lot longer than photobox etc.

Nothing to do with style, usability is not a minor consideration especially if they want a pro market where time is money. Once you do manage to find the download information it is not a bad app actually.

As I said, I will try both and compare, plus “loxley colour”, the one that won the review in this months “digital photo” mag and post up reviews.

Peak are looking most expensive right now, but that is taking into account postage and the 30 free prints from photobox.

They all claim to have long lasting developing processes.. not sure how I can test that apart from post an update if any of them fade.
