When we tested | August 2020 | August 2020 |
Summary | York creates a nice-quality print. However, we noticed some cutting issues in our test order. 4/10 of our photos had white edges left from the cutting process, in particular the square print. | Shutterfly and Snapfish are two very similar services. We found the Snapfish quailty to be better than Shutterfly by a longshot. |
