I always assumed they were inkjet.
The main page for prints (Photo Prints - Online Digital Photo Printing, Professional Large Quality Prints - AdoramaPix) says, "
I don't know enough about printing to have thought that printing digital images would be possible through any means other than printers. A quick search of the process yielded this info about "Digital C-Type Printing" from a Wikipedia entry: "
So is this what they are doing? Is this some sort of hybrid between inkjet and wet printing? Is this a better or worse than straight inkjet printing?

Prints can also be exposed using digital exposure systems such as the Durst Lambda, Océ LightJet and ZBE Chromira, yielding a digital C-Type print (sometimes called a Lambda print or LightJet print). The LightJet and the Lambda both use RGB lasers to expose light-sensitive material to produce a latent image that is then developed using conventional silver based photographic chemicals. The Chromira uses LEDs instead of lasers which results in a faster imaging time but can result in banding and Moiré patterns in fine details, if photographs submitted to the printer are at a size that differs from the actual crop and pixel resolution of the image file. All of the aforementioned printers utilise ICC colour profiles to achieve colour and density accuracy and also to correct paper sensitivity errors. The same technology can also be used to produce digital silver gelatin bromide black and white prints.
