All joking aside, i have used photobox, www.photobox.co.uk for prints
for the family and the quality is superb, reasonable cost too. In no
way afiliated or employed, just a customer. They'll also send prints
to an address that your credit card isn't registered to without the
"3rd degree"!
tekkno.

I THINK the above refers to my suggestion to use photobox. Let me
clarify:-
"quality .jpg uploading. I'm Thinking about cheapy Christmas presents

At 24p for a 4"x6" (approx) print, you cant go much wrong, nor much
cheaper, so i think that just about covers the Crimbo thing.
Frankly if you are going to be printing the above (A4 300grm. £7.00 or
A3 £10.00) expect a flood of orders. You're too cheap. You aren't
really printing the photo's out at all, what you are really doing is
providing a premium service because if i read it correctly you are
also going to "correct" or "adjust" the image before printing. This is
skilled labour intensive work.
tekkno.

I had been toying with the idea of buying the 2100, but don't have the
space at the moment for an A3 printer. Should do in a couple of
months when I (fingers crossed) take posession of a house - complete
with a separate studio/office... Supply is iffy on the 2100s - hardly
anyone seems able to maintain stock.
I've been tinkering with printing with an Epson 895 as an inexpensive
compromise. Probably should have gone for the 950, as having the roll
feed but not the cutter is a PITA. Had some very variable results
with different papers put through it; at the moment, my preferred
paper for colour reproduction is Jessops' glossy stuff.
Not having anything to handle colour matching on the screen makes life
interesting, but not impossible. The other option I've toyed with a
bit is going into Jessops & having the digital photos printed there -
lovely results, but I'm still not sure what the optimum reolution etc.
is. 10x8 cost £2.49, then £1.24 for subsequent prints, so for other
than 1-offs & "right now", I'd probably use Jessops. The downside is
how long it takes for their system to thumbnail 40 15-20Mb tiffs...
How do you feel the results compare to giclee & lith prints? And who
have you found is cheapest for the carts? My current source is
7dayshop.
