I've been using www.photobox.co.uk for some time now. They do 6"x4.5" prints which is the correct aspect ratio for digital cameras (unlike the standard 6"x4" that most places do).

Edit: just checked and byphotos and photobox are the same people. Go with byphotos and get the 30 free prints!

Where is the best place, either on-line or high street to get high quality prints made of digital photos?

Thanks

I tried Jessops. Walk in with your selected pics on CD or CF or whatever, whack it in their PC. Follow the touch screen instructions - job done.

Be aware that it often pays to have more printed as the price per print comes down. IIRC Jessops is 15p per print (7x5 size) if you get 40+ developed.

The quality is nothing short of amazing - far better than any prints I have had developed before. The colourings and sharpness are excellent. And most of my pics were only at 1024 and 1600 res not 2048.

Jessops walk-in one hour processing (or 24 hrs if you're a tight g$t!)
...but don't use their editing stuff - it takes ages and costs - make sure they're correct on the CD/CF card or whatever
...also make sure you know what paper they're going to use - my local one does glossy for 6x4 and 7x5, either glossy or matte for 9x6 and only matte for 15x10

The only thing I've noted is that if I make the photos look OK on my monitor, they come out a bit dark on the print. So I just make them a bit over bright on the monitor - a pragmatic approach when I don't having the budegt (or intelligence) to get a complete colour-calibrated system from camera to (Jessops) printer.

(does anyone really know how to easily colour calibrate the entire end-to-end system - I've read lots, but its mighty complex and I can't afford to buy a Spyder!)
