Where do you print your pictures?

[jennz]

Hi everyone - just wondering where your favorite place is to print your digital photos. I've been using snapfish and Wal-Mart because I just haven't looked into anywhere else.

So who's your favorite?

I have a photo printer so I print my own, but I do go to different places when they have coupons for free prints. Right now in the entertainment books there is a coupon for Target for 10 free prints, so I use those when I have them. Also anytime I find a coupon online for free prints, I use that also, any other time I print out my own at home. Costco did have a special where you get 20 free prints if you sign up online for their something or other. Though if you dont have a costco close by you, that wont really work..

The big take-away is that, in this very competitive market, the price typically indicates how good the quality is.

So Kodak EasyShare Gallery (Ofoto) and Shutterfly.com, while charging a lot more than the cheap photo finishers, produce far greater quality photos. Snapfish and WalMart are about half the price, but provide much lower quality.

If you're printing photos for long-term safekeeping, then don't use Snapfish or WalMart. Rather, use them if you're just making prints that you'll have no concern about discarding after a few years. If you have your electronic versions of the photos backed-up in several safe locations (not all of which are in your house!), then who cares if you have to reprint them every eight years or so? If you'd like to save yourself the hassle (and expense, because reprinting, of course, costs money), then use one of the two premier photo finishers, Kodak or Shutterfly.com.
