Solo exhibition
 

Hi All,

soon to have my first full solo exhibition!

Looking for advice on a good place to get quality prints... and what sort! Archival?... very stuck to choose what at the moment!

Cheers for your thoughts in advance!

Hi Jim,

I find photobox very good and reliable (Duncan also used them for all of his prints for his City & Guilds course). You quite often get free prints when you sign up with them...

Personally I wouldn't trust photobox with printing anything but snapshots. I have tried them a couple of times and the print quality is very inconsistent, I suspect that they do not have a fully colour balanced set up. I'd recommend somewhere like Peak Imaging, they cost a lot more than them likes of photobox but you'll get excellent quality prints everytime. I have also heard the DSCL are as good a Peak but significantly cheaper, though I've not tried them yet.

An interesting thing to do is to send the same image to a number of labs to print and see just how widely they vary.

Nice to see you posting again Debbi. Peter

+1 for DSCL. I am a member of a group that set up ane exhibition of around 12 photographers and most people used them with good results and they are cheaper than Photobox.
