High Street Printers

Hi All

I need to get some 8 x 10 and 8 x 12 prints done ASAP, don't have enough time to send to my usuall printer. Does any body have a recommendation for High Street printer, i.e. Boot's, ASDA etc.

Not exactly High Street but as you are obviously on the Internet why don't you look at 'www.photobox.co.uk'. If you register with them you can upload your photos to a personal album on their site and then place an order for any size that they do. If you order by mid afternoon the order will be despatched by first class post and you will often receive them next day. The results they produce are superb, I have just had four 10 by 15 inch prints made by them and they arrived in a strong cardboard postal tube and they are magnificent.
I ordered them Sunday afternoon and the arrived first thing Tuesday morning.

Thanks for the reply, but as I stated I need them ASAP, tomorrow in fact, I usually use ProAm who gve me a first class 2-3 day turnaround.

I guess that this is a question that could provoke a whole range of conflicting replies but I'll stick my neck out and say that Snappy Snaps has provided the best prints I've had out of all high street retailers. When I first approached the branch I tend to use, on the Strand in Central London, they talked me through file formats, profiling and even the sort of sharpening that tended to work best on their machine. The result was a really decent set of prints that I used for a wedding that I helped out at.

Of course, I'm going to add a hefty YMMV in here but I've been happy with them at least.
