Where should I go for photo printing?
Posted by IrishShee@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 25 comments
I’m not after a cheap, quick option where you can have 100 photos printed as I know there are lots of options for that online.
What I’m after is having a picture printed as large as it can be while still maintaining its quality as much as possible (considering it was taken on my phone). Bonus points if they have decent frames there and can frame it for me.
It’s a present for someone and a special photo so I’m not after the cheapest option but also… I don’t have loads of money lol. Happy to pay up to £50 ish depending on size.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Where in the country are you located? There will likely be some great independent options local to you

Photobox has plenty of gift options and have a quality-o-meter that'll tell you if it's going to get blocky at that size. They can do canvas prints or framed stuff. Always worth a look.

Second Max Spielman. They print on aluminium as well, which looks really good without a frame.

I checked but it’s too far from me :(
Thank you though

I normally use Cewe. Never had photos framed though, only prints on paper and on foam board up to 30x40. They have other options.

Is the quality decent with large prints?

I’ve only had regular 5x7 prints from them, but they were as good as any other

I use trade canvas prints. They do paper prints too, not just canvas, although a canvas might actually suit your requirement better, as it's already on a frame. https://www.tradecanvasprint.co.uk/
DS colour labs are also good and one vision imaging are ok.

Thank you, I’ll check them out!

100 prints and frames for 50 quid? Have you time traveled from 1891?

Many people seem to have misread or not even bothered reading your requirements.
Sorry, I don't have a suggestion, just here to see what comes up!

Max Speielmann if you have one near you.
You can just do self service and get print from your phone or usb instantly and the staff are very helpful.

Personally I use dscolourlabs.co.uk for the printing and then look in the local shop that has a bit of everything ( the plastic boxes, bin bag, cheap tools, lightbulbs, watering cans, picture frames merchant that every town has somewhere) for the frame.
Alternatively ikea have a decent range of frames.

You want 100 photos printed and frames for less than £50?
You're having a giggle.
