The order process

Genesis Imaging doesn’t provide online ordering like many other services, but this is better for some people. Image files are sent to the lab by email, FTP, post or via an online upload form along with your details and requirements. This means you have to look around the site and choose the best options for you. The site itself is easy to navigate and there’s a lot of information about the various products and services available. For framing requirements you’ll need to phone the lab. Getting prints and frames together will get you a 20% discount on the advertised prices.

Product quality

The print quality at Genesis is exceptionally good and photographers wanting control over the process can request test prints. Images are checked prior to printing, with any necessary adjustments made to ensure images look their best. The available frames can be found across four catalogues, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for. The frames are constructed to a high standard, with clean and tightly constructed corners. The backs are sealed and fixtures on both frames are the D-ring and cord type.

Conclusion

This service is expensive, but is one where images are checked very closely. Online ordering isn’t available, except in the form of uploading images with written requirements, but this might be preferable to some people. Overall the level of quality and service is very high and this is why many well-known pro photographers use Genesis Imaging.
