I have a rule for myself to always have photos of important events - big birthdays, anniversaries…read moreand all overseas trips - and not just uploaded and tagged on facebook, I want mine printed out. This rule came as I was looking through my parents photo albums from when they were my age and I decided I wanted the same for my kids one day! Photo Q is my photo-printing destination, but they can do so much more including having your best shot put on a: * Canvas * Mug * Hat * DVD They also sell a wide variety of frames, including those fancy digital ones! But Photo Q also do the boring stuff too like Visa and Passport photos (don't we all look pretty in them?) image recovery and photo restoration and they always do it with a smile on their face and in a speedy time.

We had several video (VCR) copies made to DVD and the service and product we received was so poor…read morethat I am strongly recommending that people consider using this service. After almost 4 weeks being transferred (and not returning calls) when i finally received and checked the DVD copies made the video quality was so poor and in blue colour throughout. We were told this is typical and would not offer any refund or any explanation other than it's our fault. As such we were given a sub-standard product, without any issue of refund, or explanation other than it was our fault providing a low quality VCR tape. The whole process was dealt with so rudely that we will not be returning. This was quite concerning given that these tapes were old family videos that we were having transferred for a family birthday present. As such we went to another competitors store and had the VCR tapes checked, new DVD copies made and found that the copies were in fact perfect. Trust me, shop around and I would be very reluctant to use such a service from PhotoQ in the future

I walked in without a clue in mind of what I wanted or how much it was going to cost. Thankfully Gary (owner/manager/all around great guy) guided me through our best options. As he had great experience with gallery exhibitions before, he knew exactly what we were after (and it turns out mounting our images onto 5mm foam core is exactly what we were after.) Rather than printing, then mounting, then framing all of our top 40 images - which would have been extraordinarily costly and time-consuming - this ingenious alternative of printing on to foam was perfection. The images were so light they could stick straight on to the wall with only blu-tack holding them up. I was able to upload the images on to their server from the comfort of my couch rather than having to drop by with a giant USB stick and the printing turn-around was snappy to say the least. If you are a budding artist/photographer or just have an awesome snap that you'd love printed, Prism Imaging is really the only place you should go. They will get the best out of your images for an affordable cost and at absolute maximum quality.

From the owner: Prism Imaging are the experts for all your digital imaging and conventional silver based…read morephotographic needs.

If you're looking for someone to professionally bind your portfolio of projects and just don't…read morethink Office works is the place, try Whites Law Bindery. It took some searching around at first but when I eventually got wind of this place, I've never looked back. I got my portfolio of work bound into a coffee table book at Whites Law Bindery and I've always gotten really awesome comments about how great it looks. In fact, it looks so professional that someone asked me where I bought the book. Of course I laughed and gave her the contact. This place is not just an office centre that does spiral binding. It specialises in binding large books with gorgeous graphic content. All jobs are made to order, allowing for maximum personalisation, creativity and flexibility. Anyone in the interior design, graphic design, media field who wants to get their work put together should come straight here. Why settle for anything less, especially when it's to do with your blood and sweat!

Although they do a professional job, the place is very untidy and unwelcoming. I am not one to…read morecomplain, however I must say the service I received as a student was downright appalling. I was told they would have my order ready within 5 working days, and they would send me a template for my cover design within the next day or two. When it got to two days before I was meant to collect the book, I still had not received a template and I had to contact them twice as to why I had not received it, instead of them contacting me to tell me they were able to print my document due to it not running through their server and I had to resend it to them. This resulted in the job taking twice as long as it should have, and when it was finally ready and I asked to query the price as their lack of communication caused my assignment to be over due, I was verbally abused and shouted at, in front of other customers. Just putting a warning out there to students as they will try and take advantage. I was originally quoted $135 and it ended up costing me $175.
