General Photographic Chat

I have not had to use Photobox for a little while, but I have just ordered 6 of 10in x 15in gloss prints for a competition where I needed 3 entries. And 3 of the colour prints seemed to be very flat with no punch in the colours at all, I have never had this problem before yet the other 3 were ok (2 monochrome and 1 colour). I did however notice that they are now using Kodak paper instead of Fuji paper, I will be contacting them about this, but wondered if anyone else has experienced the same problem just recently.

I think that my last order was about 4 weeks ago and that was on Fuji paper, but the prints which got delivered yesterday was on Kodak paper.

My wife wants me to do some calenders again this year for family presents, as last years ones were great.

Quality superb last year and they were the most popular presents i gave away. People loved them as i tailored them to suit what i knew they liked from my pictures. Hope the quality as good this year now.

I have to admit Barry, when i first used them i still wasn't convinced even though the print quality was good, the colours looked muted and contrast a touch done but that was on Fuji paper..having worked for a Kodak registered Qlab for 7 years i like my kodak paper as i knew how to print on it..not had any orders for a while so cant comment on their kodak image quality as yet..having said that, their service and prices are hard to beat so i will be using them again..

Hi Andy, As you know I have been very impressed with Photobox over the years, so hopefully this is just a one off bad print run (which considering the amount of prints they must produce, there has to be a couple of off images). Anyway I will be contacting them and see what they say, as I want to continue using them as there service is so good.

Hi Barry, had 6 A3 prints off them on Kodak paper, no trouble at all. Have to admit I was very impressed with them. Also had some A3 Photo books done for presents and the quality is superb. Give them a ring, they will do them again for you.

Hi Paul, I sent them a e-mail last night, so hopefully I will hear something back, either later on to-day or tomorrow.
