    Hello All,

    I'm looking to upload some digital photos to a company and have them deliver me prints.

    I'll be looking for 5x7 Matte. They need to be matte. I was going to just use www.bonusprint.ie because they're cheap, but I got the software and you can only choose glossy prints.

    www.colorcoral.com also seem very cheap, but there is no mention of matte on their site. Anyone used them?

    All suggestions welcome. :)

    Thought that could have been it!.....

    Just joined there. No mention of matte. Also I have about 65 images I want prints from. You have to select them one at a time on that site! :eek:

    Spectra's website is a little tedious alright...

    Did you try any of those photo kiosks? I know Sam McCauleys tend to have Fuji ones and Boots have Kodak ones; you might be able to get matte from them. I need to get a whole load of stuff printed so if I'm in either over the coming week I'll check out if theres a matte option.

    Nice one. They do have a matte option. Thanks kindly.

    €0.36 for 5x7 if > 20 prints.

    Rymus: Thanks for that. You're very kind. It's the lazy eejit in me that wants to upload them though ;)

    Just an update....

    I ended up going with photobox. Their upload facility is /miles/ ahead of the competition in terms of ease of use. Also we got the photos back today (Thursday) after uploading on Monday and the quality was great.

    One thing that they also allow that I really like is the ability to decide how your photos will be cropped. i.e. if you're getting 5x7 prints, and your camera has take at a 4:3 ratio (like mine) then you decide what section to remove (top, bottom, a bit of both, etc.).

    Their larger sized prints (larger than 5x7) seem very expensive to me, but I'm not overly familiar with development costs. Other than that, I would highly recommend them.
