Does anyone have recommendations for photography labs where I can have pictures printed? I've been searching for information for weeks!

Jackmohan--thanks for the advice....unfortunately I do not have an inkjet printer and have always had my photos processed by a professional lab. My clients at home expected professional prints and I'm sure my clients here will as well. In addition, I also offer canvas prints and that is not possible on an inkjet printer.

Baldrick--just dropped some prints off at Gulf Photo. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Jackmohan ... I have an A3 printer but if I need bigger I'm gonna have to go to a lab as the cost of a larger photo printer is way out of my budget (QR6000+)!

[edit] I have 3 or 4 prints I want at A1 (poster) size!!

Did you Google it first?

Photo Printing....

Just put in A4 size Kodak or HP Photo paper (I guess there is 120gms thick & 180gms thick...use 180gsm paper) in your inkjet printer and print.

The latest inkjet printers give absolutely great prints matching (and even surpassing due to the convenience & control) those made in the lab.

These Photo Paper are available in stationary section of the big malls.

I am surprised that these Photo processing labs still exists in the age of Digital Camera.

The last time I processed from such a lab was 3yrs ago!

Yes I did, on a very similar thread to this. I have an HP 1280 A3 printer which gives pretty good results when used with Kodak Glossy paper.

When I come back from my hols I'm going to try a lab on the street from Jaidah Tower (Carrier) to Sofitel (Mercure). There's a shop on the left heading down that has some A1/A0 prints hanging up that look to be pretty good quality from the other side of the street!

melissaphoto is a very talented professional photographer. . .so she's probably not looking to print photos at Carrefour!
