Decent quality prints for exhibition? not too pricey

    I have an exhibition coming up and I'm looking for a good place to get A3, A4 prints. No art papers or anything too expensive, just decent quality prints on satin/matte paper for a good price. Somewhere that does good bulk rates would be perfect.

    The prints will be mounted in plane card.

    I have a good hp photosmart 8750 printer but assumed it would be too expensive to print off 60-80 prints of this size on it.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Photobox.co.uk work out at around €1.65 per print for the quantity you are looking at. Only issues is they have been slow to ship recently.

    how does Harvey Norman matte compare with Photobox matte? Are they exactly the same (Fuji Crystal Archive from Photobox)?
    I'm kinda going off the photobox mattes, I think I would like something more matt-y

    It depends. My experience with HN in Blanch is very good. My experience of the quality of prints out of HN in Swords is less good (slightly color casted) and the ones from Photobox are generally top notch.

    They all print on Fuji Crystal Archive AFAIK.

    I have used both HN's and no probs with either, Cambo its the same crystal archive, maybe try kodak? Last time I tried one where I live he charged me €7 for a bleeding 8x6 (I told him to roll it up and I will give you a good idea where you can stick it!!)

    I'd second them, I get loads of 12x8s printed from them, and the odd poster size as well. I'm happy with the results (make sure your monitor is fairly well calibrated though), but delivery can be slow, so allow yourself 2 weeks (this can apply to Photobox as well - I'm pretty sure An Post are the culprits) for delivery, plus whatever time you need to mount etc.
