Photobox ?

[jackal]

just ordered some postacrds from them as thank you cards and wow, the quality is stunningly dreadful !

what's happened the these people ? I've had some great stuff off then in the past.

These print looks all fluffy and low resolution, like some ort of 'draft quality'. You can see the print/inkjet structure far too vividly and in places there are horizontal striations. Truly appaling... the overall rendition is nowhere even close to a a regular 6x4 print that you would get on the high steet (from either digital or film). In fact, I reckon I could do better on my rubbish Hp printer that isn't even a photo printer.

Anyone else had bad stuff from there ? and anyone know and eays to use alterrnative that does postcards, greeting cards etc..

Nothing but praise for them here.

Check what you sent them was hi-res and have a chat with them, they've been happy to reprint FOC in the past

WHS /\

Any problems I've had in the past have been resolved quickly by customer service.

Hi Rich

I had one bad order, complained and they resent FOC... I'd do that and see what happens. I've had three lots of postcards from them and they've been ok to fine.

This may totally wrong but how big are the images that you uploaded? Is there any chance you uploaded thumbnails by mistake?

they are taking them back for a refund

no probs with resolution.. and certainly no probs with equipment

the print is just awful but it seems to be their postacrds only. Apparently a company in France does them for them.

got some regular prints later in the post and they were fine
