I understand. I printed 5 so the difference in cost is relatively significant (6.99 vs 24.95 although it is convenient having them printed there and then while you wait. I will use them again for the odd print as their service was very good. Have you used DS Colour Labs in the past? Would you...

It was just from the local photostore. They have a large printer and so just print off and then trim down as required. It is convenient to be able to pop in and get something printed when I'm in a hurry but if I am doing a lot of prints I may just try an online company. The price difference...

Hi, I know this question is kind of like the old 'How long is a piece of string?' but I was just wondering what you would expect to pay for an 8x12 print? I was charged £4.99 per print and after looking at some online printers this seems to be a bit more than they are charging. Thanks, Quarto
