Excellent service

Excellent service. Prompt delivery of prints in secure packaging, with great communication about the stages of the process. And cheap, Royal Mail delivery for larger prints that other printer seem to insist on sending via courier, at greater cost.

Wasn’t sure if l should get my film…

Wasn’t sure if l should get my film developed it was an old one but was impressed with how easy it was to use DS Colour Labs. I was kept informed on how my film was being developed and had them returned in secure Packaging. Very happy and if l had another cartridge to be developed l would definitely use DS Colour Labs

Couldn't be better

Couldn't be better. It's so easy to upload photos from PC, tablet or phone. Choosing finish, size, etc is straitforward. It's not expensive and they keep you informed on progress, and so far they have managed next day delivery.

First choice for film processing

Super quick processing at value for money rates, kept me informed every step of the way, great scans delivered promptly, and negs arrived shortly after. Perfect from DSCL and they are my 100% go-to first choice for film processing

My prints from DSCL in Fuji lustre

I am an amateur landscape photographer had 8 prints made in Fuji lustre. This paper and DSCL print process has reproduced my images really well. I always calibrate my monitor before finalising my prints. I have ordered products prints from DSCL a good number of times and have always been well satisfied with the quality of print and care of the final packaging. I can recommend DSCL for excellent service and prompt delivery.

Great quality

The site was very quick and easy to use, the pricing was good and the prints are excellent quality. I've used a couple of other print service before and none have captured detail and contrast in my photography quite as well as DS
