Printing.

Hello, unsure where i should ask this really but what i am after is, a place that will print for and deliver to me in 10x12 upwards.

is there any online services that are worth while or just stick to place like boots plug and print machines?

I want to pick my paper etc.

thanks in advance.

when you say pick your paper do you mean glossy or matt?

For several years, I used a main branch of Boots to print my photographs at 9" x 6" - inexpensive and a good colour match to my PC/monitor set up. However, I moved offices which meant that getting prints in this way was more difficult. I started using Photobox and have no complaints although costs are now somewhat higher - not least because of the postage which can be quite significant on small orders. Photobox offer matt or gloss finish - that's about it. Recently, I tried Boots again as I was travelling near to a main branch. However, they only do gloss in their instore print machines.

p.s. Just posted this response and saw that whenever I wrote "Photobox" it got an automatic link - not my doing believe me. How does that work then?

I've used both photobox and dsclourlabs for online printing and had no complaints with either for both quality and price for larger prints.

Both are happy to send out a free calibration print prior to your first order if you email them also.
