Can you tell me what Loxleycolour.com is like please? I have some prints that I would like to put on my wall for display.

I would like them either 14 or 15 x 10 and 10 x 8 size.

Many thanks.

Loxley are a very high quality pro lab, in terms of both print quality and customer service. They are based in Cumbernauld and you upload orders via their remote ordering software which you download from their website. It isn't the most intuitive thing to use but allows you to do everything from ordering postcard size prints to albums that cost £1000+ or have your prints mounted or framed in every style imaginable.

I live reasonably nearby so I can pick up my orders but if I have them sent they usually arrive in under 24 hours, in the many years I have been a customer I have never been less than delighted.

They will print just about any size you want but you will have to open an online account before you can see prices.

Ok I have signed up and it says £1.44 (10 x 1-9 images.

Does that last bit mean I can have 9 prints at that size, for £1.44?

Dont matter about the mounts or frames as I can pick those up in Salisbury.

They quote 10 x 8 as 50p for 1-99. So I could get between one and 99 copies of a 10 x 8 size?:

if so is DSCL very good?

what they mean Louise is :- DSCL 50p for EACH print up to 99.
Loxely is £1.44 for EACH print up to 10,
hope this clarifies it as from your posts you looked as though you were expecting more for your money. if i have got it wrong i apologise.

Ok It's just that I get confused by figures and numbers. So How much would it cost for just one print then? Sorry to ask dumb questions.

From DSCL 1off 10"x8" print would be 50p + £3.99 p&p = £4.49

10off would be 10x50p + £3.99 p&p = £8.99

so you are better off sending for a few prints at a time to save on P&P

I hope that's clear
