We have the best cameras, the best lens, the best filters, the most experienced, knowledgeable photographers. Only one left, the best prints.

So where can we find the best (but affordable) prints on the country? Like long lasting paper, best quality dye sublimation prints. etc..

im not really looking for the cheapest (like the other thread).

But a print shop which prints really well, with knowledgeable personnel who does not crop or enlarge your jpgs incorrectly to poor proportions..


I print in Picture City in Mall of Asia. So far my prints come out good.


Except when printing vertical photos it appears like there seems to be a small white on top. but i guess i will just have to leave the photos on horizontal arrangement, and print the vertical sideways..

You might want to try picking up the latest Issue of DPP at the newsstands. You should find enclosed an insert of a photo printed by Digiprint done on Kodak Endura. Many have commented nicely on the print quality.

how can you upload a large 5R sized jpg photo from digiprint?

looks like the digiprint upload your picture service is good only for small 3R prints.. even fine quality 3R sized jpgs takes 1.5MB or more.. if you can upload the jpg from the web, and digiprint prints it on 5R or larger, there will be loss in quality..


so somehow i doubt if digiprint is really taking digital prints seriously.. i dont like my images being digitally zoomed or resized..

@Dex- I'm sure Nino showed you some of the stuff we do here at Bella Luce:)

@Mike- I can't answer for Digiprint's web service although I know that is something they are addressing. You might want to consider dropping off your CD at any of their outlets with specific instructions. The next day the prints will be delivered to your door via LBC.
