I was very impressed with the service…
I was very impressed with the service from DS Colour Labs. The turnaround was remarkably fast, and the print arrived sooner than expected. Colour accuracy was excellent — the finished print matched the file very closely, with natural tones and good depth. They also offer a very strong range of papers, which made it easy to choose a finish that suited the image. The print was carefully packaged and arrived in perfect condition. A very professional service from start to finish.

1 star is 1 too many. Very disappointed. Image was too dark and lacked colour. I did brighten my image before sending, too co.pensate for my screens brightness.

Needed a quick framed print for a funeral presentation
I needed a framed large print urgently. I found the site easy to use and reasonable priced. The finished print arrived well protected and almost next day delivery. Good quality and very pleased with the experience. Recommend thoroughly.

Not your fault
Not your fault, I forgot to change the profile in PS so while the images are quite dark they turned out too dark, so thats on me but not able to use them so hard to rate.

Yet again DSCL come through with flying…
Yet again DSCL come through with flying colours. Offered a last minute exhibition I had but a few days to pull it together. I sent my images to print at 5am with a note asking if it could be completed ASAP. Same day I receive an email saying that it was complete. I'd hoped for my prints before the weekend. Same day is exceptional. Above & beyond the call of duty. I now have more than enough time to produce my exhibition for next week. Thank you guys!

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback Alasdair, we’re delighted we could help you get everything turned around so quickly for your exhibition. It’s great to hear the same-day turnaround made a real difference and gave you the time you needed to prepare. We hope the exhibition went well!
Still haven’t received my order
Still haven’t received my order. Even though I had paid for 24 hour DPD delivery. No answer to my emails, no answer when I call.

Simple order was fine, but no comms re larger orders …
I tried DSCL for the first time based on personal recommendation, and placed two orders on the same day. The photos were printed & dispatched on the same day, but over a week later, the photobook order & larger photos I placed have still not been dispatched with no rationale as to why (checked order history).
I have not received any communication, payment has been taken, but I have no idea how long my main order will be.

Hi Sarah, thank you for your review. We’re glad your standard prints were dispatched promptly. Regarding your photobook and larger photos, these have a 3–7 day turnaround, and with the recent Easter bank holiday closures, there was a slight delay. We’re pleased to confirm your order was dispatched yesterday.
We really appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy your photo book and prints when they arrive!
Very fast and easy
Very fast and easy. Pricing is about right. Packaging was a bit battered and open at the corners but luckliy nothing was damaged.

I ordered late in a Friday night and received my prints on the Tuesday. Prints were done flawlessly and exactly as ordered, colour, hue, contrast and I say this as a professional photographer. Will be using again.
