Who's the best online labs for the UK market?

Searched on these forums and seem to find US sites.

Who do you use in the UK?

I use truprint for family pics and have had good results from photobox as well for non family "arty" prints.

I can also recommend DSCL - cheaper than you can print yourself IMO and excellent quality.

+1 for DS Colour Labs, I also use ProAM which are very, very good. ProAM won the best digital printer award last year from the SWPP. You pay more for packing but their packing is the best I have seen. Had prints today from DS Colour Labs and it was bashed about. I was lucky I didn't have to ask for another print.

Hi,

I always use Loxley (http://loxleycolour.co​m (external link)). They've got it spot-on every time for me. I gave up with Photobox after a succession of poor quality prints that were dark and way off colour.

Cheers,
Andy.

I primarily use Pixum (external link) now for everything. Can't fault them at all.

Stay well away from photobox if you value colour correctness.
