(I should qualify this post by saying that I'm quite 'in to' photography so I'm probably more fussy than your average person about print quality and so forth. Having said that, one of my friends who isn't interested in photography once bought some digitally-made prints from a shop and wasn't happy with an aspect of them either, so I'm certainly not the only one to dislike shop-made/online digital prints.)

Quote from: the I rarely print photos these days and when I need to I have done so at home. I now need some prints. Any "recommendations" or "avoid" as far as online photo printing services are concerned. There doesnt seem to be much in it for price etc?
I've tried bonusprint, snapfish and truprint, but have always been happy with Photobox.

I normally only pull others up on actual spelling/grammar errors. That, however, was a typo - it was meant to say 'qualify'. Having said that it does need correcting so I'll do that once I've finished writing this post. But not before getting my own back by pointing out that you meant 'your'.
With regards to the topic of this thread, I see Photobox has been recommended... which I feel I have to counter (no I'm not just being awkward!) because my experience of using them wasn't so good. Well, the actual service was fine - I think I received my print the day after I ordered it - and I admit the price was good, but the quality was not. My main complaint was the paper - it was ridiculously thin, and the gloss coating seemed to have a slight 'crease' in it which was rather distracting. It also seemed a tad 'rough around the edges' in the literal sense. Finally, the print was too glossy for my liking, although I admit that's a matter of personal preference - but it's something to consider especially when placing a print under a plastic cover in an album.

Individual experiences can always vary, though I can't say I've had any issues with "thin" paper or creases - perhaps you were just unlucky. As you say, the level of glossiness is a personal choice, though a decent album will reduce the reflections anyway.

I have an Olympus PS100 which I rarely use, however when I do use it, I'm always pretty impressed with the results.
The prints work out at around 40p each, and it will only print in A6 size (306dpi), but its a diminutive little fella, so I can easily stick it in a spare camera bag and take it out in the wild with me!
I don't expect you to have had experience of this particular model (although I won't be surprised if you have, as photograpically well travelled as you are but more some idea of how the technology compares to other printing methods.
