My first experience with this lab was absolutely terrible. Three owners. The printer Michael had a terrible condescending attitude and very rude. The prints I received from them was well below standards. I got made two 8' prints and two 6' prints printed and mounted and heatsealed. The prints were absolutely terrible they were all about 50% too dark and showed colour blotching. The shadows were all blocked up and over all a magenta colour cast. The heatseals were no better, pieces of stringed dust trapped under the heatseal in the skies were very noticeable. The edge of one of the photos seemed cut by hand and too which seemed so uneven one might thing he must have been drunk. Over all Im shocked to think any photo lab would produce such low standards.I paid €1350 and they requested I make a bank transfer in advance, which I did. I also spoke to Jim and he didn't realise that they had to match the samples that I sent with the order. OMG...I finally spoke to the printer again( Michael) to address this problem. He told me that I sized up my image that there was no camera that could produced this file size. He went on to tell me that he was printing for twenty years and there was no camera that could produce this. I couldn't get a word in at any time to explain because he hung up on me three times. His behaviour was childish and ignorant and hiding behind the phone. Anyone can have an off day but at least admit it like a man and fix the problem. They refused to remake again and no refund. I have missed an opening of a very important event with VIP's attached. Any photographer or lab can put PROFESSIONAL and QUALITY attached to their name, but real business and printers can produce. If you are looking for quality this photo shop doesn't have it.
