Postby TTT on Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:11 am

eg
10x15cm = $0.19
28x35cm = $7.50
40x50cm = $15
50x75cm = $30

The offer is only valid until 30th November.. Check the last page of the brochure.

Of interest is the WoppaPrint ...Up to a metre wide, as long as you like. No price quoted Obviously good for pano prints

Not sure but I think the processing offer is available to the end of the year. The brochure contains many other offers which were valid until the end of November - but the ad says all photo lab services for 2006. There was also a card on the brochure showing 50% off for 2006 but no mention of the November end date.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

ooooh! 19c is cheap, right? hardly normals were asking for 15c but their promo ended i think. same with domayne.

is 19c as cheap as it gets atm? if so, i might have to head out tomorrow with my formal and grad photos!
oh, and thanks for the heads up! :lol:

edit: just read the brochure (http://www.cataloguecentral.com.au/dnlv ... 5B1%5D.htm)
19c/print is for 1000+ prints.

and i just noticed 2GB CF extreme III's are $159.. not bad for a bricks and mortar store. an online retailer has them for around $20 less but then the costs of shipping..

MetroPhoto ( used to be QFL ) http://www.metrophoto.com.au/ have 0.13 per print min 100. Order/ upload online, pick up at your local chemist.

I have used these guys fo rover 300 shots. I can't fault them.

i just noticed that today at wynyard station- 13c/print for 100+ prints.
but it said something about auto mode only or something on those lines.. i guess that would mean you cant have much say as to how the prints are done, whether you want to apply any colour correction or not apply any at all, etc.

what are your experiences when it comes to unsatisfactory quality prints, wocka? do they re-print them for you like HN?

Julz,

I haven't had any bad prints with MetroPhoto, unlike Hardley Normal. I've only been using HN lately because I have had free coupons for 4x6 and 6x8 prints.

I would use MetroPhoto all the time if I was paying for the prints.

Cheers
