The order process was easy to follow…

The order process was easy to follow and my order was despatched promptly. However, despite being well packed my prints arrived bent. The quality of the paper is good but the print quality not so much. Part of my uploaded image was cropped around the edge also meaning there was some missing text. Overall dissapointed

100% recommend

I used this company for my graduation pictures and they arrived really quick. The pictures are amazing quality and exactly what I wanted. The pricing is good and there are many options you can choose from. I would definitely purchase again.

I rarely have prints these days

I have never used this firm before but after an air to air photography session I decided to have some large prints and, having looked at them on the computer, even my wife (no lover of aircraft) agreed. We were stunned at the quality of the prints DSCL supplied and the very swift turnaround. When I need more I will return to them.

Good photo lab overall

Very happy with their negative development and scan quality, as well as the quality of their C-type prints. Pricing is also very reasonable.
They do sometimes miss their due-date for getting film developed though!

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend….

I sent a hi-res file over on a Thursday and two large colour prints were delivered 2 days later.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending DSCL.
