Printing photos taken by digital camera
-
Do you guys take printed copies of photos you captured? What is a good and affordable way to do that? All the methods I have researched into cost significantly more than printing photos from (35mm) non-digital cameras. The methods I considered :- 1. Online services. Best is SnapFish for around 19c a photo. Is there a better service? 2. Printer. My Lexmark printer became way costly after considering the cost of cartridge and teh paper. Is there aa better printer? Thanks Rama Krishna

3. Take them to your local lab. They should not being charging more to print from digital, they don't here. The quality is also going to be a lot better than from your home printer. Look out for Fuji Frontier branded shops, they are good. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

Over here you can go to a nifty automaton in many tech shops or drugstores with your CD/MemStick, select which pics you want which format etc. Printing usually is much worse, and not waterproof.

Hey, My wife is into scrapbooking and she prints out a lot pictures. To solve the cost issue (the ink side that is) I just got a large inkjet refill kit. As for the inkjet printer. Research one that fits your printing needs THEN look at the refill sites and see if they have a refill kit for that model and only purchase a inkjet that you can refill. Many of the newer inkjets now have smartchips in the inkjet cartridges to prevent folks from refilling them (this is where they make most of their profits), so you would need to also get a chip resetter (a device that resets the chip to think that it is full). The Manufactures have taken this issue to court and have won to stop the selling of these resetter chip devices. But you still can get them (they import them from overseas now). Also it is VERY important, that if you purchase a refill kit, that you make sure that the company guarantees that the ink is as good or better then the OEM's version. By using this solution our only real cost is paper cause our ink cost is down around a 10th of a penny per sheet of a full color 8x11 printed picture. Hope this helps. Cheers ... Rick

I usually get the photos(digital prints) done from WalMart/Ritz Camera/Costco/SAM'S. After I bought digital camera 2 years ago, I said bye bye to the photo albums. I keep all the photos on my personal website. So if I friends and family wants to have copy of it, they can download from my website. This really helped me for my 2 yr old daughter photos. BTW, During the last trip to India. I took printed copies from my digital camera for Rupees 8 a copy. (around 17 cents US) In the case of my 5 yr old I had two boxes full of albums of her photos. So during my last trip to India I took all the albums and gave them to your a photo printing company who scanned all the photos :eek: and burned them to a VCD. :cool: Rama Krishna wrote: 2. Printer.

But the catridge and paper prices scares me to run from there.

Wal-Mart and Walgreens are both advertising that you can take your card/stick to some machine and have prints made for $0.29 each. Walgreens will drop that price to $0.20 if you do 50 prints -- I'm not sure if that would be 50 prints of one picture or 50 different pictures. A bit more expensive than the online service but I assume you'd get your prints faster as well.

My dad uses a semi-cheap paper made by Great White they call it "Imaging and Photo" paper and I think it is about $10 for 50 sheets. For cheap printing you really can't beat the Epson Stylus Color 880. Its no longer made, but you might be able to find it if you look hard enough. What is really nice about it is that you can buy the ink for less than $3.00/cart. My dad has completely switched from using the HP DeskJet 970 (or whatever the number is) to using his Epson, even for printing Jewel case inserts. The quality is about the same especially when using the Great White paper I mentioned. My dad just picked up a Canon S200, but so far I've only done normal printing on it so I'm not sure how well it handles photos; maybe I'll give it a shot tonight. It too was another one of those printers that had cheap cart's for it. You can pick up cheap ink carts from: www.monsterinkjets.com[^] or www.megatoners.com[^].

Expense is directly proportional to quality. If you want low quality, you can print 'em on your printer in ink saver/draft mode. Medium quality, print it on your printer high quality, with a photo ink cartridge (some of those printers have a special photo cartridge you can install - but it depends on your model.) High quality, do it from a lab. No single raindrop believes that it is responsible for the flood.

I've only printed once, but when I did, I just uploaded the pictures to walmart.com. The cost was about 24 cents per picture, which was cheaper than Kodak and their affiliates. The pictures arrived at my local store in so many days. They looked excellent (i.e., crisp and clear). My camera was set to 3.1mp so I've yet to see what the two lower settings can produce.

Sorry Anders but a $400 home printer cannot beat a $30,000 lab print setup. Yes, you have to find a good lab, not all labs are good. Some are shocking, scrimping and saving by not changing chemicals often enough, running the wrong temperatures and trying to get your prints done too fast. But find a good lab and for reasonable money you will get prints that far surpass even that very good Canon S900. I went through about 6 labs before I found a good one, and even then I use three different labs for three different things as each is good at one task. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

Naaa, they are a tad better but it's really hard to see the difference. Have you ever seen prints from a S900 or one of the newer ones? I guess you have not. But fair enough, you shoot film not digital, so of course you use a lab. - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" My Photos[^] nsms@spyf.dk <- Spam Collecting ;)
