...without costing the earth?

I have used Peak Imaging two or three times in the past. I have been very impressed by their service and quality. I want to print a few images off at 16x12 and 20x16, but these cost £6.90 and £9.89 respectively.

Is this a good price or is there a cheaper alternative? I have found dscolourlabs who are cheaper for the 16x12 but can't do the 20x16.

Any suggestions? In case this helps, I intend to mount these for Camera Club, so for the 15x15 image I want to print, I need to allow enough room for mounting, hence printing at 20x16 (the only size on peak imaging to give a big enough border), the same "extra white space" goes for the 16x12.

Also, side issue, if these end up going under glass, should I go for Gloss or Matte (Lustre)?

I've ordered prints from both Photobox and Pixmania and have been happy with both website's results.

Although i'm due around20 8x12's and 2 16x12's so i'll let you know when i get them tomorrow (hopefully).

Glossy or Lustre.... which do you prefer?

Matte under glass - or you get twice as many reflections.

I use //www.photobox.co.uk/ and have been very happy with them, both for the service and the quality.

I've used PIXUM a few times. They are quite cheap, overall I'm pretty happy with them, except the last batch seemed a bit too dark.

I'm very happy with Photobox, but I can't give you a comparison to any others.
