Fromex True Black & WhiteReviews of trueblackandwhiteprints.com

I submitted what I thought was a high res photo, but the result was not as crisp as I hoped. Did the upload get downgraded, or was it still high res.

Excellent prints! I only wish your website allowed tracking of the shipping process. Even a simple automated email that the “prints shipped today via ___” would make a difference - so the package doesn’t end up by the front door in the rain. Either way, I will be back!

The print quality was very good. I would give 5 stars if you'd off the ability to track when the package was sent out of the lab, when it's expected to arrive and where it is along the way.

I haven’t received my order yet and tracking info is non existent. I’ve ordered previously and the prints were great. Better tracking would be helpful.

For years, we had gotten our True B&W prints from Mpix, but they stopped carrying that paper. I had to look for an alternative, if I could find one. For a quick background, I've been in digital image manipulation for over 45 years. At least 6 years before there was such a thing as Photoshop 1.0. And ran my own in-home business doing image work for both commercial businesses and the general public. In other words, I very much know how to color manage a system and use a high end monitor that has been properly calibrated and profiled. As a test, I sent in a handful of B&W images saved to Fromex's file requirements. I sent the same set of images to a competitor per their requirements. Both sets of prints came on the same true B&W, silver halide paper Mpix used to offer. The difference was, of course, the results. The competitor's efforts were half the price and matched my monitor almost exactly. The prints from Fromex, while nice, lacked the expected contrast and were more open in the midtones and three quarter tones than they should have been. The highlights and quarter tones were also rather flat. To be fair, most people probably wouldn't readily notice these differences if they weren't pointed out. I can't help noticing as dealing with high end clients for decades makes me push for the best possible results at all times. Final result? Fromex does pretty decent work, but it could be better, and shouldn't cost as much as it did.

Stunning prints! Honestly, best prints I’ve ever ordered! Look far better than expected and surpassed expectations. Only criticism would be that I did not get a notification they shipped, just showed up on my doorstep. While a great surprise it would’ve been nice to know in case I needed to make arrangements due to weather. Keep up the great work!

Great print was as advertised. 😁

Trying several different printers and so far this is my fave. Have a few more to do before the big 5 star rating!
