Quality of Prints:
York Photo produced prints that were exceptionally - the best! To get a better feel of the quality of their prints, we sent the same set of digital photos to all of the online digital photo processors and developers - that we reviewed. Below is our analysis on the York Photo prints:

Close-up Photos: York Photo's Digital Print was slightly dark compared to the original that we had uploaded, and the facial tones had a slight yellow tint, which was actually gave a very rich and great effect on the print.

Scenic & Background Photos: The colors in this print look outstanding; and the photos offer crisp and sharp details. We could not find out any particular defects in the prints. Also, cropping was minimal - something which is a major problem with most of the online photo printing services.

Pricing:

They also provide volume discounts for 35 mm film developing, which makes it an excellent value, no matter what way you take your pictures. However, this service does not offer volume discounts for digital photos.

Shipping Costs:
York Photo charges the lowest price we've seen. To ship nine 4 x 6 inch prints, York Photo charged us $1.55. The actual postage for USPS First Class mail was $0.83. This means that York Photo charged us just $0.72 - towards their packaging and handling costs. York Photo ships the finished prints in a paper sleevel reinforced with a light-weight card board insert, which is then placed in a paper envelope. Although this is a cheap way of packaging compared to other printing services, our photos arrived in perfect condition.
