digital photo prints

[mneagle]

Anyone know of a good online company that can convert digital images to prints for the photo album?

www.webshots.com

 

They did a good job for me, probably a better one out there though.

Not online, but costco does prints from digital media for 19 cents a print. You use a kiosk in their stores to upload your photos.

Snapfish.com.

 

I haven't used them, but a bunch of my friends do.

Sounds like you might want to stay away from SFW, then.

some of my friends use clubphoto.com Prints are $0.25

I've used shutterfly.com to print most of my photos. They also offer unlimited space for sharing online pictures with your friends. Of course, that with the intention of letting your friends print your pictures too.

 

ofoto.com is another, but it requires your friends to register to see your pics.

Believe it or not but walmart has a pretty sweet deal! walmart photo page I've been pretty happy with the 8 by 10's and am able to get around 200 dpi.

msnphotos too. As you are probably noticing, there are a million and one options.

Try costco.com or shutterfly.com... average picture quality for regular expense. If you want a higher quality try your local photo speciality shop.

It depends on how large of a print you need and what sort of quality you expect.

 

Fuji has a nice digital printer called the Frontier that is starting to pop up in all sorts of places, from Walmart and Costco to reputable, dedicated photo labs. It can output quite sharp prints at 300dpi up to 10"x15", provided you have enough pixels, or at lower resolution if you don't. The prints are good, reliable and cheap enough, I'd suggest seaching out a place that uses it for smaller prints and prints from digital cameras. Hell, it's also probably your best bet for smaller prints from film too. Unless you specifically need an online service, I'm sure you can get them printed locally in just about any medium size US town. Look at Dry Creek Photo for a list of places using them. If you start messing with your photos in photoshop and want some basic color management check out the above link for color profiles (a kind fellow in Oregon has been making ICC profiles from Frontiers for free and posting them on the web..).

 

If you need larger prints from high res scans, I'd suggest West Coast Imaging or a local lab offering larger printing services. West Coast Imaging offers an economical printing service on their Lightjet if you provide the files. Good Luck.
