Where can I have prints made from slides?

[starwood]

I have about 15 slides I would like to get prints from and then get rid of the slides. But I can't find anyplace that does that anymore. CVS said it would be about $5 per slide. There has to be some photo places around that still do this. I tried to use my scanner on them but they come out all blurry.

I know they sell now a device that is designed to scan slides and negatives and connect via usb to your computer to give you digital images. Maybe go that route and then print them any way you like?

e.t.a. I do not have this device that was just the first one I found when checking.

They will do it for 37 cents a slide... but I would recommend you pay for the pro level scanning that will raise the price to 62 cents a slide, but will give you 4,000dpi scans instead of the 2000dpi scans for the normal service.

Your other options are to invest in a special slide scanner and do it yourself, it really depends on how man you plan on scanning.

Snapfish has a slide scanning service too (.29/slide) and I was going to do it for my mom for Christmas (she has several thousand slides spanning from the time they met in 1955 until 1980 ) but then I found out the shipping charge ($20 each way) so I looked to see where the photos were going - India I couldn't let those precious memories of me go that far without a 100% guarantee that I'd get them back.

I'd check your local photo shop also, ours does it for about $1/slide if I didn't have so many slides to scan I'd take them there or CVS. Instead I bought a scanner from Amazon. Costco also sells one.
