Hi
Was wondering if any one has tried Aldi’s online photo service yet.
I have uploaded some snaps to see what they are like, first 20 are free, just pay postage, ?1.99.
So far customer service communications are very good and I am expecting delivery shortly in the post.
Will post opinion on print quality upon reciept.
They have some very good prices for all sizes and they are also offering canvas prints!

Recieved photos today
Colour and quality excellent
Only drawback, photographic paper very light. Quality of paper from minilabs and Dlab7 much heavier. At this price it is very good.
Also ordered photobook which is yet to arrive.
All round very happy with service and wiull use again for photo pronting.

Photobook arrived today. Very impressed with reproduction quality.
Perfect personalised present
I’ve used Aldi Photo Services twice and I’ve had mixed experiences.
The first time, I got some 8x10s and 5x7s – the larger prints weren’t bad, but the smaller ones had obviously been badly compressed by Aldi and were missing a huge amount of detail.
The next time I used them, the colour was terrible and I could see marks across the prints where it looked like a print head had dragged. In particlular, areas of darker colour were terrible.Since then, I tried GMS (a prolab on Pearse St) and was very impressed. I know, big price difference, but worth every penny. Having said all that, i know there will still be times where I just want to get a batch of photos printed cheaply and no more than that – I’d go with Aldi if I didn’t care about quality.
after searching the whole forum, I still can’t find the thread that says which is the best website where to print our pictures….
any suggestions?
for 20×30 cm prints, which file should I send in? tiff?thanks!
In my opinion and everyone will have a different one when it comes to this question.
Assuming they do that size then as far as online printers go photobox.ie for colour and peakimaging.co.uk for b+w.
I don’t think that photobox take tiff files.Mark wrote:

I don’t think that photobox take tiff files.wise man Mark, but since I am new to this business, every website is the same!
i’ll check photobox.ie, but how come no tiff files? only jpeg?
this digital is weird!!!! :)I’d say a lot of it has to do with file size. Remember you have to upload these pics to the site…and at 512Kb, if you are uploading a lot of Tiff files that is going to take a LONG time….
I would imagine that’#s the case anyway.
