Well I just picked my pics up from Boots today.
They have on offer on at the moment - if you have over 50 pics on one memory card they will print them for 10p a pic - and they will do it in an hour if you take the memory card in before 3 I think - best to check with your local branch.
I thought the quality was very good - that was the price for 6 x 4 prints too.

That offers been around a while, seems dumb to me that it doesnt apply to internet supplied pics!

I prefer using the Internet. I normally use Directfoto (15p for a 6x4 plus 80p p&p - £3.20 minimum order) or, sometimes, Bonusprint (14p for a 6x4 plus £1.20 p&p - no minimum order); I'd say that the colour can be slightly off in both cases but, if no one remembers the original, who is going to worry about a slight colour cast on, say, a white dress. Bonusprint specifically say that they will do B&W, which is useful for those old scanned family pics - the quality in terms of blackness and whiteness is markedly superior to home printing.

Alternatively, if you only want a one off, use one of those Asda machine. They'll accept most types of media. The downside is you have to find some way of spending an hour in Asda while they process them.

One final point. If, like me, you can't resist correcting and cropping before sending them off, don't crop off as much as you can; leave a small border around the main subject. I've noticed that the final prints don't include all of the original. I suspect that they print them slightly oversize to allow for tolerances when they are guillotined.

i used this last night, send up 30 prints, its a bit slow as you cant compress the prints to send them up. You either have to use FTP or browser and send them as JPEG's which is a bit poor. Anyhow got my 30 pics up there to use my 30 free credits, only £1.50 delivery, so 5p per print. Had an email from them at 8:45 this morning saying they had been dispatched. Pretty impressive, hope the print quality is good too.
