It took around 10 days from order to delivery but when it arrived I was pleased with the result. An easy to navigate system on the computer to order the canvas but the people who they use to deliver... See more

Usually excellent and prompt. However, as I type my latest order has arrived with 3 of some else's photos and one of mine missing! Annoying as I need the missing shot for someone and I'll now have... See more

First time print - super!

I loved the quality of my print (from a photograph of my painting). It was a one off, so I could see what the quality is like and then go ahead to sell prints from my website. I highly recommend the service and they gave detailed instructions about framing options which was very useful.

I picked my print up, p&p is quite pricey but if there is a higher quantity it would be worth it.

overpriced, average quality

For the price, I was expecting a far more superior quality print. The paper and print is very average and I didn't see any improvement to what other companies offer and who charge a lot less.

Many thanks,
Anna

Good photographic prints delivered well packaged and on time.

I had been looking for an on-line printer and saw the article in Black and White Photography magazine that reviewed four companies. Spectrum was the second site I tried from the article. I was atracted to the range on papers available and the quality rating. The website was straight forward to use and my order for four prints on three different papers processed. The prints were turned round in forty-eight hours and via recorded delivery received the next day. I am pleased with the results that replicate the colour and image quality I was seeing on my monitor and I am happy to recommend Spectrum to coleagues.

I damaged a precious 20"x16" photo and needed help !!!

This was good experience all round. My nearest Pro Lab closed a few years ago and as this was an important copy of a "damaged" family photo from which a 20" x16" replacement was required a GOOD lab had to be found. I searched the web and found that the Spectrum site was so easy to use and the prices not frightening. I took a chance and was very very pleased with the result, add to that the speed of return and satisfaction was the result and will use them again/

Impressed by printing quality!

Ordered a few test prints and I was truly impressed by the quality, quick delivery and ease of use of website. Made my decision easier as to what prints to create and to know one can trust the service.

First time I used Spectrum - the service and quality were excellent

This was the first time I used Spectrum and spoke to a technician who gave me very clear advice on how to prepare the images for the paper I chose. I just used the basic online option and the prints were as they looked on my monitor, despite not doing a test print. The prints, on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, were excellent but needed flattening for a few days. Returned exactly on time.

Professional service, very helpful and friendly

Every time I went to Spectrum I was very happy with the results of my orders. Everyone of the team I spoke to is very friendly and I always get professional advice on my questions. I never felt being rushed through queries; everybody listens and has good solutions.
I am very happy to use the service of Spectrum in the future and would always recommend the company.

I used Spectrum's Master Printing service and am 100% happy with the result.

I used Spectrum's Master Printing service and am 100% happy with the resulting prints, their service, expertise and their customer service. I printed 50 prints for my exhibition and am really delighted with them.
The mastering sessions with Andy, one of Spectrum's master printers were very enjoyable and it helped me view my prints from an outside perspective
I have recommended Spectrum to all of my friends and I will definitely use them again.

Perfection.

I continue to use Spectrum when top quality is more important than price. I have only used their Duraspec perspex reverse mounting product - once tried, it is diffult to settle for a lesser solution! Outstanding quality I am happy to recommend. It may be expensive but given the unmatched quality, it is still good value.

What you want is what you get!

Reliable quality, a range of prices to suit.
With all the parts that go into putting on a photographic exhibition it is reassuring to have the critical printing element of the process worry free. Good advice too.

Efficient friendly service

Apart from the fact that Spectrum always produce top quality work within the timescale promised, the staff manage to provide a very personal service - so important to be remembered and feel valued as an individual rather than just another job lot.

Thank you George, Klair, Lucy & Hazel
