I have a question for those of you with digital cameras. Is there any way to have the digital pictures "developed" onto regular print photo paper? I would love to have the convenience and quality of digital photos, but I love having "real" pictures. I realize that some computer printers can print copies, but I would like to have good quality prints. Any advice?

Yes, you can upload your photo files to someplace like ofoto.com or photopoint.com and order prints from them. I have done it and they turn out great, as long as you have taken them with a high enough resolution. (more info is on the site about that). I'd love to send you a referral link to ofoto...you'd get 25 free prints for joining, and so would I! Send me your email addy if that's okay with you - my email is bluorchid2@yahoo.com.

Wolf Camera in Chicago does a great job. They print on Kodak Royal paper just like regular prints and they will last just as long.

Make sure to take your photos at a high enough resolution to get a good print. Check here for suggested minimums:

We have used EZ Prints several times. They will print your photos on Kodak paper and mail them to you in about 3 days.

You can buy Kodak paper and print them yourselves. They look great. We have also taken the chip to One Hour Photo and they now can print them onto Kodak paper direct from the chip. The down side to this - they don't make any changes (crop, etc.) However, this last trip, we had 4 copies of each picture printed and it worked out to be cheaper to have One Hour run them than printing them ourselves.

The problem with photos printed yourself is not the paper, but the ink. Regular inkjet ink will fade within a year or two. The places mentioned here (Wolf Camera and EzPrints) use real photo making equipment, paper and ink to print the pictures. Those photos will last as long as one from film. I'm not sure what your One Hour photo place does.
