RGB has discount if you prove that you are a member of a photographic club (e.g. SAFRA Photo Club, PSS, PhotoArt etc).

FotoHub and Colour Lab requires you to apply for membership. Colour Lab Membership is $20 or so I think, unlimited period. FotoHub membership is free if you spend > $100 (discount valid only for the next time you visit). Both are 10% discounts.

Glossy/matt is a personal preference. Glossy paper has more contrast and vibrance but can be marred by fingerprints and scratches. The matt is the opposite.

seems like many people develop their prints
at Color Lab.

maybe someone could find out more about the
membership or discount scheme & post it here?

Pay $20 for lifetime membership.

Get 10% discount on :-

- scanning services
- developing + printing services
- developing + printing + scanning services
- developing + scanning services
- slide developing
- albums
- digital printing

Reprints not entitled to discount, unfortunately.

Hey, it's the same lar.

10 prints @ $0.40 each normal price = $4.00
$4.00 - 10% = $3.60.

10 prints @ $0.36 each after discount = $3.60

But unfortunately, discount does not apply for reprints (but applicable for digital prints).

For FotoHub, you can even get discounts for sending digital prints online.
