I always use ProAm Imaging and very happy with the quality and price, but, I need to get a couple of prints larger than their limit of 18"x12", does anyone have any recommendations they can pass on please? I have found a couplee of places but VERY much more expensive.
It will be for mono and sepia work.

cheers

Lilly,
Yes, everything else is massively more expensive
Not far from where I work is Spectrum Photographic ( http://www.spectrumphoto.co.uk/ )- excellent service, facilities and quality - but TBH I haven't used them for a long time.

If you want canvas and other large stuff, then www.photoartistry.co.uk are very good. They're the crew that offer the POTW prints for epz winners. I have a very nice 36"x24" canvas hanging on the wall at work

But, like you, I'm open to other suggestions

Lilly - you could try The Darkroom Uk in Cheltenham. Prices for variety of sizes and papers are on their web site. Not used them for this type of work, so I can't give any specific recommendation other than the general one about speed and quality of service based on their slide processing service.

Hi Lilly, I use Loxley Colour great service and I think print prices are not too bad at all.

They do free colour calibration of your prints if necessary.

Hope it helps.
