This lab goes the extra mile with set-up in order to make sure you get what you really want

Geared towards the professional market, WHCC’s product range covers everything from photo prints to proofing, cards, wall displays and an array of packaging options, with simple fulfilment and dispatch options direct to photographers’ clients as well as to photographers themselves. These all benefit from a quick and easy ROES system.

WHCC’s paper of choice for photo prints is Kodak Endura Professional, available in glossy, lustre and metallic finishes. Add-ons include a variety of mounting substrates, textured finishes and coatings. Adobe RGB and sRGB colour spaces are supported, along with various ICC profiles. WHCC goes the extra mile to ensure accuracy by supplying five 10x8-inch photo prints of your own images free of charge. In our tests, this included free shipping to the UK. A free sample pack of photo papers is also included.

Performance

International postal charges vary, but domestic two-day UPS delivery in the US is free, subject to a minimum order quantity of $12. Lab turnaround time is quick, typically taking one or two days. Prices are dearer than at AdoramaPix, for example at $3.80 for 12x8-inch prints ($4.68 metallic), but the free postage for relatively small sizes and quantities can swing the balance. Hand colour correction is available at an additional cost of $1 per print.
