Best website/shop for prints?

[chukkychukky]

Can anyone recommend a good website / service for prints?
Conventional sizes (6x4, 7x5) from digital files for reasonable cost.

I dont do much post processing and I've tried photobox and not been too thrilled with the results, always seem a bit on the darker side compared to my files (I use a Macbook and no I've not fiddled too much with screen calibration)

Sorry if this has been asked upmteen times before!

Thanks

It has indeed been asked many times

I think most people here use 1 of a few companies. The most popular seems to be a firm called Loxley, I use DCPrint, some use Togsprint, and there's a few more. I can recommend DCPrint and Togsprint having had prints from both. Google is your friend to find their websites.

There lies your issue. You're playing a lottery when processing images on a non-calibrated screen and then sending them off for print.

I agree with you there.

And that coming from someone with a calibrated screen
