Peak Imaging has recently been given top marks for digital printing by Digital Photo Magazine. Several other photographic laboratories were included in the test, in which A2 photographic prints were produced from digital media and the results scrutinized and compared. In the August issue (No.69) Mat Gallagher wrote...

"When you get up to A2-sized prints you get real impact from your pictures. All of the lab results had impact but for the critical eye, some delivered a lot more...

...Peak Imaging offers a chemical print, with bulk discounts starting at five prints and reaching the incredibly cheap price of £3.37 if you order 100 or more prints of the same size and finish - even if it's 100 different images. Colour correction is available as a free service on your prints and if you download their free software you can upload your images online. Postal orders are still preferred as they recommend a 70.9Mb file size for a 24x16in print. There is also the opportunity to contact the lab to discuss your requirements with the staff."
