Printing Photos Yourself or At Stores: Pros and Cons?

[Lachesis00]

I print @ Costco. It is cheaper, the photos always come out amazing.

The only time I'd print @ home is if it was one photo and I needed it right now.

I have several Epson photo printers. They are rated to last longer than store printed photos. www.wilhelm-research.com

They will last over 100 years. The cost for my 4x6 prints is 21 cents. The cost to print 8x10 is about $1.50 per print for paper and ink.

I think being able to print them myself without leaving the house is great. How much time do you waste running to pick up your prints? I can print at 2 in the morning if I want to, I have many different paper types to choose from. I have had many pros think my prints look great so I must be doing something right with my Epson printers.
