Where do YOU get your Digital Pictures Printed?

SlySniper · Oct 19, 2005

Hello!

Well, I always use Walgreens, but recently, they have been doing a bad job so I wanted to try a new place. So, where else better to ask than a forum with PHOTOGRAPHERS!

Any recomendations?

THANKS!:thumbup: :thumbup:

I use Walgreens for stuff that isn't important (I sorta work there), but lately I've been using http://www.shutterfly.com for higher quality prints. I have been quite happy with them, and good prices, too.

Wow, I didn't know that you could upload them to a website and they would deliver. Thats cool but the only problem is that I have Dial-Up so I cant upload the 7 MP pictures; if I do, my internet times out.

Hows Wal-Mart Photos?

The ones around here are the same/worse than Walgreens. One of the Walmarts near here has the exact same photo machine as Walgreens does, the other has a much older one. Their workers are usually stretched a lot more thinly too, so I hear a lot more horror stories of lost and mixed up pictures, and the machine breaking down due to not being taken care of. BUT....it varies from store to store, so you'll have to do your own investigating, really.

My printer 90% of the time...

Just depends on the Wal-Mart. One of the ones close to me has a great crew working there and does as good, if not better, than some pro labs. The other Wal-Marts in the area are just so-so.

I use mpix for very large prints or wallets because they cut them so nicely

Otherwise I have a printer.

I use Mpix....I love the quality, and the price is pretty good also.

OOOHH Thats right! I can do that tooo!! Damn, I'm stupid. I just need to buy some of that photo paper. Do you think a HP PSC 1315 All-In-One can do a good job?

Thanks for all the responses guys!:thumbup: :hug::

I use a Epson 2200 for up to 13 X 19 prints that I sell, and a little 4 X 6 HP printer for proofs. Anything bigger than 13 X 19 I send out. I always upsample the file to the print size at 300 DPI and save in tiff format, this makes for BIG files. I wouldnt recomend dialup.
