www.wallgreens.com Upload - then either pick up in store, or mail.

www.snapfish.com will also do posters.

www.shutterfly.com can produce books and other items.

Azoomm gave you some good ones. I use Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart. I have also used Costco before.

You can also look online, a lot of places will give you 20 or so free if you use them.

I've used walmart...Never had a complaint so far...cheap prices and the pictures come out sharp and the colors are vibrant.

Probably helps that my Camera is like Super Good and taking pictures but yeah...I've had good things with walmart...Gonna try snapfish though I got a poster or two I wanna get printed.

do you drop it off at their counter and pick it up later or do you use one of those kiosks? I was there the other day, but it was late, i has hungry and exhausted and i just couldn't focus on figuring out. do you just give them your memory card and thats it?

Walmart would be alright - but I then would have to walk into Walmart and check-out. No thank you.

My brand new walmart kicks ass! I get everything in one shot, so different from NYC where i had to go to million places to get stuff and lug them back home. Next time you visit we'll go on a field trip, and then i'll treat you to Mcdonalds there when we are done shopping:rockout:

I have used the kiosk but I have one day it was down so I had them print them. But from what I remember then have a machine there where you load in your pics just like the self serve and then pick them up later. Thats the way it was at Costco when I did it.

I would but a NICE Digital Printer is some decent Coin...then you need the Photo paper...

I dont print them that often to justify spending that much money on the equipment to do it myself.

Yes, photo paper is somewhat expensive if you're printing on good quality stuff, at larger than 4"X6". For CAN$285.00 + tax I picked up an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, which prints at up to 13"X19", using 6 separate print cartridges. I can print about 25 maximum size and quality prints on a set of cartridges and probably hundreds of 4"X6" prints. I replaced all 6 cartridges for a little over $100.00.

It all depends what you want to do. I can get a couple of hundred 4"X6" prints off set of cartridges with my little HP Photosmart 1750, plus it will print at up to 8.5"X11". If all that you want is 4"X6" prints (max 8.5"X11"), then a Canon Pixma IP2600 can be had for under $60.00 and prints very well. Good quality 4"X6" paper is dirt cheap, by the 50 pack.

I do my own prints, because I want a greater degree of creative control. Given that I would be paying about $18.00 per print at 13"X19" it only made sense to buy the 1400.

No, I don't go to Walmart... but thanks. I'm more afraid of their parking lot than I am of the store inside. And, even there - I can't check out because of the fun in lines.

But, I'll entertain the idea if we can play:

I used to print my own but it's too much of a PIA.

Now I just head to the local walgreens.

although i applaud her multitasking skills, i couldn't help question her parenting abilities. for some reason if its btwn dropping her baby or her cell phone, i think the baby would end up on the floor.
