Hi, I've a digital camera since last Christmas with a little over 200 pictures taken so far, I'd like to get them developed but where's the best place? Who would do deals on bulk printing? otherwise it could out very pricey I imagine.
This on AAM shows a lot of discussion about this. I prefer Photobox.ie myself, lots of good offers but not the cheapest I imagine. Superb quality though
Why do enlargements always seem to cost so much? At that site (as an example, but it seems to be similar everywhere) a 4X6 costs 22c and a 10X8 costs E2.90.
The surface area is only 3.33 times greater yet the price is 13 times greater.
Anyone know anywhere that does cheap enlargements?
I get prints almost every week and have tried most of the online printers. Stay away fro, the high street ones. They rip you off. Always profile your prints.
photobox.ie - Prints are a little dark even though i profile my photos. Expensive compared to the ones below.
foto.com - nice prints and very very cheap. Use then for 6x8 prints all the time as the price here cant be beaten.
bonusprint.ie - By far the best quality i've gotten. Alomst as cheap as foto.com for bulk orders. I use bonusprint mostly now for 5x7.5 prints and 4x6.
spectra.ie - never used them, but some say they are cheap and good quality
Just got a digital camera myself and havent a clue, someone said to me that you can upload your photos onto a website so you and friends can go in and view them....does anyone have any idea how to do this?
I use www.splashbulb.com to upload and share photo's with friends. I find it usefull in that you can share specific photo's with people, it allows full size pictures to be stored and downloaded again, and you've got unlimited storage space for free.
Look up color profiles (icc) on google. You can use photoshop to change profiles.
The basic idea is that your monitor may not be calibrated the same as the printers printer.
ou could have your brightness turned way up and would darken your photo to compensate.
When you send it to the printers what you get back is a black print, because you had know way of know how the photo looked to them.
Google will throw up a mine of info on this and the solutions for you
foto.com prints have improved even more for some reason.
Also they do photobooks and calendars cheaper than anywhere i've seen.
Having said that i havent checked around for price in a while
I’ve used mypixmania.com for digital prints, as they offer some very good deals on bulk purchases of prints. They are printed in France and delivered by DHL (you can track your delivery online at the DHL website). I’ve been using the UK version of their website without any problems (I’m not sure if they really were supposed to take Irish orders, but I got them delivered ok). Just got an email from them saying they are launching an Irish version of their site and the prices seem the same at a quick glance. As an introductory offer, they are offering 50 FREE 4½ X 6 prints with a delivery charge of 2 Euro. ( 4 cents per print.) The link to their site is: http://www.mypixmania.com/ie/uk/sign-me-up/ The offer is valid for 1 month.
