Qoop Review

Recall we in the UK can now get Digital Prints from Flickr? Well my Photo Book arrived today and I must say I am disappointed.

What did I expect for my $41.25 including postage? Well I expected a book of my photographs printed at the same quality as, well, photographs. What did I get? 53 laser printed pages that look like they could have been run off any colour laser or photocopier.

The packaging was done well, the cover and binding are lovely. Inside? Crap. Grainy, dotty, unclear, bad colour. As I say, just like some 11-year-old kid with Microsoft Publisher has run off some pages at the local school computer lab.

The verdict; Don’t waste your money.

Digital Prints from Flickr, Now International

This might be worth a try, FlickrBlog says Flickr now offers the rest of the world the QOOP printing service. Really dumb thing is you still can’t do it right from the flickr site

So, you aren’t in the U.S. Darn it! Unfortunately, this means you aren’t able to prints your photos via Flickr yet.

This means that until Flickr guys get the interface sorted out you have to go to http://www.qoop.com. Their prices look pretty good, they have a great range of products and sizes and the interface is really quite nice (especially being able to select by “sets”, etc).

I’m going to order a photo book to try it out.
