just got the prints from DSCL.
i have mixed feelings (I printed 5 pictures 12 x 18'' matt):

- colours look good
- paper quality is good too
- i printed the same picture twice, one with autocorrection and one without, the one autocorrected is better (B&W, better contrast)
- i ordered 2 panoramas, they got cropped to 12 x 18'', although i ordered white borders so was expecting to get big white bands - apparently there is a "shrink to fit" box which i did not see so my mistake i guess
- one B&W looks really weird, i boosted the sharpness quite a bit but it looks horrible on the edges of the person's face (around the face basically), might be coming from my picture.

anyway on a positive note it was very cheap (paid £10.48 for 5 prints), only one can go on my wall though.

will see what happens - only saw after the resizing bit (mine are not 300dpi like they want), will see how it goes - why are the bigger prints not as good? i guess they use a different printer, but it's a shame because they have the size i want (18 x 1

thanks!
DSCL is very cheap for 12 x 18 so not taking much risk!
photobox i tried once and the 3 prints i ordered went straight to the rubbish bin

Hello,

I am sure this has been covered many times but couldnt find it in the search - simple question:

what online lab do you recommend for printing enlargement? I'm thinking mainly 12 x 18'' and 18 x 24''

Has anyone used Digitalab?

I am after a compromise price/quality so no pro lab at £50 the print!

thanks
