Any news yet Barry?
I had some photos arrive thismorning from Snapfish, very happy with the quality and still on Fuji Crystal Archive.

I know Photobox is the fave around here, but they did let me down and Snapfish has always left me happy.
Photobox emailed me asking what they could do to get me to try them again, I responded saying give me some more free samples but I had no reply

Hi Merv, sorry I should had replied to this thread. Photobox e-mail me yesterday and asked if I would like them reprinted, so I said yes. I should think that they will be with me tomorrow, will let you know how the reprinted set turns out.

I now use Loxley for prints and for the mid range wedding albums. Graphi let me down twice on quality. I did use photobox but loxley has amazing customer service and the quality is much higher than p/box. There is nothing wrong with photobox, the prices are amazing and the quality good but as my nemesis suggested, loxley are truly superb.
For high end albums I have started use queensbury over jorgensen and I am waiting for samples from finao.

I used Photobox for the first time this week and was well impressed with the quality and the prints were on fuji paper.

Now that is interesting, maybe they are using different papers for different sizes. Anyway glad that you are impressed with Photobox as I have been using them for many years, and only had a couple of print problems (this one being one of them). And considering that I have prints done most months, that is a lot of prints.

I have not heard anything from Photobox about my prints, But last night I did order 3 A4 sized calenders, so I'm hoping that they will come out OK.
