I used them for the first time last week.

I usually get my 15 x 10 prints for the camera club comps from Photobox and haver always been happy, but am paying around £3.25 each. DSCL charge 94p and have the same quickly delivery time as Photobox.

So for 8 prints I can get them for around £8 plus postage as opposed to £25 plus postage, over 4 comps a year, that's quite a saving.

By comparison I sent 3 images to both Photobox and DSCL on the same day, they both arrived 2 days later, the paper is exactly the same, the colours were exactly the same. There was some slight loss in definition on one shot in a grass area but unless you had the prints side by side, I wouldn't have noticed.

Though one of my camera club mates says he won;t use them after he sent shots to them and one of them came back with blown highlights where they weren't on another print of the same shot.

I was very pleased with my comparison prints.
