  • Good thread. This is my job.

    Metro and Printspace in London don’t do anything to justify their inflated prices.

    If you’re in London and want really nice fine digital printing, go to Genesis.

    If you’re happy to have prints sent to you Photographique in Bristol are good. Or Palm in Birmingham.

    If you want really lovely C-types or Silver Gelatin from negatives PM me for recommendations.

    And always, always, get C-types over inkjet (aka “pigment”) prints. Inkjets are shit, even the fancy ones.

  • Amazing information thanks.

    So I can get c-types from digital files from the place in Bristol or Birmingham or go in with the files on a stick to Genesis? (I'm in London).

    This is all new to me so thanks for explaining!

    I'm going to have to disagree here. I've got c-types and home ink jets on my wall, and to be honest I can't notice a difference in quality*
    My wedding photos on the wall are home ink jet prints. Sure they may not be archival quality, but as long as you've got the files safe you can always print another one.

    *This is at A4ish size. Your experiences at larger sizes may vary

  • Seconding Photographique

    Weirdly my degree ended up specialising in hand colour printing, so for once in my life I actually qualified to comment
