Seeking a good photo-printing service (UK)

September 7, 2024 4:22 AM

I’ve used PhotoBox in the past to collect digital photos into printed books, but the last one I got was poorer quality (pages came loose and fell out after minimal use), and I’ve just discovered that they’ve updated (read: ruined) their website and all my old curated photo albums and books have vanished. (The FAQ promises they’ll be restored at some point in the future, but it looks like the website change happened two months ago, so I’m not feeling optimistic about that). So: what’s a good UK-based service for printing digital photos/making photo books etc? I’m looking for quality and reliability rather than cheapest.

Snapfish is quite good.

I've never had reason to complain about what I've had from Snapfish, which has included prints, photobooks, a large-format print on stretched canvas, and a mug.

A pricier but high quality option is Loxley Colour. I’ve used them as a pro and semi-pro photographer for years and never once been disappointed, including making some really nice photo books for clients and friends.
