photobox or inkjet printer?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

i looked into getting an epson printer a few years back, but decided not
to waste my money and instead send off photos to photobox who print on a
fuji frontier printer onto fuji crystal archive paper at 300dpi.

i'm sure ink jets have come on a long way, but is the quality better
than photobox prints?

i'm printing 100mb tif files up to a3 in size, so in real terms one of
my photos resolves to 450dpi at a3 size.
