Digital Home Thoughts: Shootout at the Printing Corral: Online Photo Processing Reviewed Head to Head

Ofoto Details


We received our prints from Ofoto the Monday after ordering them. That was three days after the Snapfish photos but only two "postal days". Plus, they came from California. They arrived in a sturdy paperboard envelope with an inner card stock envelope for the prints. Along with the prints was an index print, coupons, and an insert describing the zoom & crop techniques used by Ofoto. This was the best packaging of the three.

The Ofoto prints were a letdown. Even without comparing them to other pictures, they looked bad. The pictures have a green-gray cast to them, almost like a filter was applied to the pictures. They were printed on Kodak DuraLife paper and felt thinner than 35mm prints. Besides the color, the prints looked very good. They were clear and looked just like 35mm prints. All of the advertising, Web site, and prints tout that they are "A Kodak Company". They don't live up to that name.
