    Which print service company?

    Looking to get some pano landscapes printed and would appreciate any suggestions from other members of any UK service company which they use and have found to deliver good results ...

    Thanks!

    I have never had a pano printed but for normal large prints I have used DsColourlabs for the past 8 years or so - good quality at a reasonable price

    here is their price list for large format prints

          Following advice received here I also use DSColourlabs and can't praise them highly enough.

          Cheers,

            I've used Loxley Colour for a while. IIRC they came out very well in a comparison of labs in a photo mag last year.

              Two endorsements of DSCL are enough for me to give them a try - thanks for such prompt responses by all.

                  they are also very quick, although the special prints may take a bit longer but standard stuff comes next day

                      For non-standard panos under acrylic (looks amazing) I have used Whitewall. Cannot sing their praises high enough. For standard size prints on paper I use SIM lab - fantastic service and quick turnaround. I have also used DS Colour Labs for standard size acrylics... But I don't think either of the latter two were good for non standard format panos.

                        Another for Loxley here, Smugmug use them as a direct print service for all my racing stuff on-line, not done a pano yet but their A0 quality is outstanding.

                          I'm another for Whitewall, I have canvas and metal prints (matte and HD) from them and the quality is superb.

                            Again, my thanks for all the replies - appreciated. Sounds like we have DSCL, LOXLEY, PHOTOBOX and WHITEWALL as companies which deliver good results. A professional friend also recommended LOXLEY and his prints are certainly excellent as I have some hanging on my own walls.

                            Will try DSCL first and take it from there ...
