Best Value in Dublin for Digital Photo Development?

    Can anyone advise on where I'll find the best value for money to get digital photos developed in Dublin city centre? I have approximately 300 photos to get developed. I want 2 or 3 of them enlarged to A4 size. I don't need 1 hour turnaround - I can wait a couple of days.

    Had a hunt around on the boards, and while I can find plenty of threads talking about best value for equipment I cannot find a similar thread for photo development.

    Not in the city centre, but I find these great and very cheap compared to walk-in stores. Dispatch (from London) is very quick and is only 2 euros per order

    Thanks a lot! OK so these guys are 9c a standard size print if I commit to buying 108 euro worth of prints at some point in the future. I wonder whether any of the walk-in places can compete with that?

    I think I will try these guys out. It will be nice to receive something other than bills and menus for takeaways in my letterbox ;-)

    I totally recommend Photobox. I have ordered a lot from them and they are great. They package the photos so arefully as well, you can can rest assured that they will not be damaged.
    I will not go back to the local development shop, where I spent €100 on prints and there was a blead of ink about 2mm thick down the side of every print.
    Up PhotoBox. However, their other gifts seem to be a bit expensive.

    Fuji in Liffey valley will print up to 20x16 direct from the card machine, not sure of the prices but the quality is excellent. I got two 16x12 prints done in an hour for 10 euro each. You really want a lab that will print exactly what is on your digital file, not someone who will adjust as they see fit. If your talking a large volume of photos you should get good value on cost no matter where.

    avoid conns, while they are good for large orders of large prints, there minimum price for 6x4 is 38c ish, which given that spectra charge 17c minimum is a bit much really
