Getting photo's printed?

I need to get some photo's printed in 12x8" format. The price at jessops for one photo comes to £5.99 whereas the price at ASDA photo centre is much cheaper. Does anyone know if the quality is significantly different? I would have thought they used the same printers. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

I refuse to go to Jessops these days since the level of service I've had there has been completely shite

I've printed photos with http://www.bootsdigitalphotocentre.com and was really impressed with the quality, got some huge prints done for an exhibition in America and they came out really well

12x10 prints are £2.50 on that site

The Boots photo quality ive seen in the last 4 times ive used their service is absolutely terrible. Slightly Blurry and looks more obvious in the bigger sizes I had done. I used proamimaging.com who are really cheap if you need a lot of prints, not sure how much they are if you only need 1 or 2.

Just in case you guys ever want to get poster sized prints I can thouroughly recommend Poster XXL (http://www.posterxxl.co.uk). They're based in Germany, they're cheap, reliable and the image quality is very good. Used them loads and never been let down. They're poster prints are a lot cheaper than photobox as well.
