Truprint - Photo Processing

As its holiday time, I thought I'd write an op on something we all use - photo processing.

I've always been one for popping into town, dropping off my films and paying through the nose for next day phot processing. This I was finding was costing me around 8 quid a go, so when a Truprint envelope dropped out of my Sunday paper (with all the other leaflets!!) I decided togive it a go.

The prices are superb - from 1.99 for upto 27 exposures at 5" x 3.5" size to just 2.49 for 40 exposures at 7" x 5" size. It costs an extra 2.99 to receive your pictures on a CD and a new 35mm 36 exposure film costs just 2.49. I thought there must be a catch somewhere but there isn't - post and packing only costs 70p per film and you can pay an extra 45p for express delivery.

My whole bill came to less than 5.00 and I was really surprised when my photos were back within the week. Also in the package I received was some handy stickers printed with my name and address on for my next lot of films.

It really is such an easy process - all you have to do is choose the prints you want to receive and tick the relevant box, choose any extras (films, cds, extra sets), fill in your p&p and name and address, pop a cheque and your film(s) in the envelope and then pop it in a postbox - you don't even need a stamp. Then just sit back and wait for the postman!!
