Where to get prints for digital pics?

[Felix]

Where do those with digital cameras get their prints made? (assuming you don't have printing in bulk capacity, as I don't.)

I had been using CVS in Riverview, where they have a kiosk for plugging in your camera card and making prints on demand. CVS, like other chains, including Walgreens, also has an online upload and ordering site which will send the pictures to the store of your choice.

For the last three days, I have been trying to get my prints, ordered by the online method, only to be told each day that the kiosk, though which the prints must be routed, is broken and:

a: a new machine is to be installed or

b: a particular part is on order.

Feh.

I am ready to go to a real photo store.

I bought a Canon CP200, does an amazing job. There are other models out now (cp220, etc)

Wal-Mart has the online option as well

Walmart uses fuji processors if you upload or go to the one hour kiosk.

Snapfish and shutterfly will give you 20 free and constantly run deals, takes about three days and prints normally run less than 20 cents each.

MPix and Adorama are pro labs, will print for anybody, I use MPix and have never had a bad print. They cost more than shapfish, shutterfly but offer more and will deliver a 20x30 in 2 or 3 days.

there are a lot of great personal printers that do a wonderful job and are pretty cheap, but per print, they will cost more than the online labs and unless you use the archival inks the lab prints will last longer too.

By the way if you do get a printer for your home, here's a review on the one have.

These prints are indistinguishable from conventionally processed film prints and just as durable. Unlike prints from inkjet printers, dye sublimation prints are waterproof thanks to the protective overcoat. The overcoat also prevents UV fading from exposure to daylight, another inkjet problem.

We use a printer at work to shoot pt. id's. It's pretty good!

I like winkflash.com cuz they don't do any color processing to make the pics "better." Whatever you send 'em you get It's worked out pretty good for me in the past

I have the same printer "One" has....I think it does a great job...although I use Walgreens online service more often...I even like the quality better and paper wise and ink wise...I find the online sites like snapfish with their discounts(as Bob said) can even be cheaper than my printer costs.

I hate walmart... they've screwed up on more than one order, both in the traditional film developing and in the digital website. I'll never use them again.

Now, I like snapfish.com. Pretty easy to use and I pick up my prints at Walgreens or CVS. Both CVS and Walgreens have done a great job on the quality of the developments.

My brother in law uses Walgreens. Of course he emails photos to most, but for his mom and aunt with no puter they will put together a little album and send it to them. Good photos and convenient for them to show off the grandkids.
For myself, I am starting a photbucket since I got my new camera.
