Seeking Sites Online for Printing Pictures

Hi J.,

If you are looking for inexpensive prints, I would go with "Snapfish"--Snapfish.com and if you are looking for a bit more costly, and great quality, I would go with "Shutterfly"-- Shutterfly.com Good Luck :-)

Mypublisher.com has an awesome photo album they offer and the price is very worthwhile. I also have an awesome hook up through my brother for canvas prints up to size 18 x 16. He owns Siliconvalet.net... It is very new, so not much to see on the site but the canvas range from $30 - $60, pretty impressive, plus he is a designer and adjust the image to look like a painting if you desire. He did two canvas matt style and made the photos into paintings for my two daughters, they loved them. Hope I helped, good luck!

I've used Snapfish.com but didn't like the quality of the prints. They always seemed "grainy." My sister has used kodakgallery.com but she's encountered the "grainy" image quality too. Since I'm very particular with how my finished product looks, I found photoworks.com and have nothing negative to say about them thus far. Right now, photoworks.com has a promotional code you can use to get 4 x 6 prints for $.09 each otherwise they are normally $.15 each. You can use this code: JUNEEXPRESS. You can make photobooks, which turn out beautifully! I've made 4 photobooks from them and they are guaranteed to last years. Also what I LOVE about photoworks.com is how you can edit your pictures within their site. Once you upload the pictures, you click on the "edit" under the picture and it takes you to their photo-editing program and you can create borders, fix red eyes, crop, rotate, turn your pictures into black & white, tint them with color. Some of the features, if you choose to go all out, are not free but everything else is free and I'm sure if you try them out, you will like your finished product. I highly recommend that you back up all of your images on CD in case your computer ever crashes. It would be a shame to lose such precious memories.

Honestly, Walmart Online. I find it the cheapest. You can print in any size including 8x10 and you can make collages and everything. Of course you can just print in standard size too. For Christmas I printed 5 6x4s for each family member and 11x14 collages for the parents and grandparents and I spent all of $30-35. Then you can have them shipped to you or pick them up in the closest location to you and not pay anything extra.

Hi J.,
I am a professional photographer in the Sawgrass area and I reccoment www.Mpix.com to all of my family and friends for having their pictures printed- They offer SUPERB quality (thay are actually the "consumer" part of the "pro" lab that I use to print my clients pictures), they offer great produck, and very fast turnarounds. I used them for the first few years I was doing photographt for all my printing and never had a problem.
Hope that helps :0)

When I can't print them at home, I use Shutterfly. Every few weeks, I also get emails from them, for free prints, and storage is unlimited for your photos, unlike kodak.

Kodakgallery.com mainly, but also snapfish.com and shutterfly.com GL!

Hi J.,
I am a member of Costco's and I am very happy with their system and quality of prints. I have Costco's download all of my pictures on to a disk and then pick the pictures that I want printed this way I don't loose any of them. And I get the ones I want printed right away. I am always afraid of loosing something on the computer. Good Luck! M.

I like snapfish.com

I know others that like photobucket.com

Good luck!

Hey J.!
I KNOW the feeling of a million pictures on the PC! My daughter is almost 3 and I think we've probably taken at least 100-200 per month of her life and the early months even more!

We use Shutterfly.com and have since 2000 (WAY before Haven was born). We love it b/c we can post pictures to store them in another place (just in case something happens to our computer), we can edit them (like take out the red-eye), we can "Share" them with our family and friends. We even have what Shutterfly calls a "Collection" which is really an outside website that you can put your pictures on and then your family and friends can join the website and just keep going back to check if you've uploaded more pictures. It's great for letting far away family keep up with Haven!

There are also sites like snapfish.com, picasa.com, kodak.com and many more that do the same thing. I would look at their per picture price to figure out which one b/c you will probably be ordering quite a few! :-)

Also, Walgreen's, Costco, CVS, Sam's Club and places like that usually have places to upload and store pictures.

Watch out for storage fees or fees to keep your pictures on the site once you get to a certain number of pictures. Shutterfly lets us store as many as we want for free...

Anyway, just make sure you back your pictures up in case something happens to your PC. You wouldn't want to lose all those beautiful pictures! :-) Good luck!

snapfish and kodak are great, and i think that they let you create albums to store your photos, but if you really have that many, think about something like carbonite--an online offsite storage. it will automatically back up your computer, and will keep you safe if you crash. i might sounds like a salesman, but i'm not, but no one should loose those precious baby photos...

J.,

I have a membership with Kodakgallery.com. I download pictures and have printed pictures through them and send pictures to my family and they print pictures for mear cents. And the quality is remarkable. Check them out.

S.

I use Kodakkallery.com It's pretty simple. Even my mom and grandmother use it. You can also e-mail your photos from there and your friends and family don't need to sign in to see them.

Hi J.,

I've tried both Kodak.com and Shutterfly; and I think the pictures come out much better from Shutterfly. Any photo I have ordered through kodak were cut off and sometimes blurry when the originals weren't. Downloading takes some time on both sites; don't know if that is my computer or the size of the pics.
Just my opinion..

Good Luck

I use Shutterfly. I've also sent my pictures to be printed at Costco and Walgreens. I am a scrapbooker and I like that Shutterfly prints the date the picture was taken on the back of the picture. They also have packages you can buy. I bought a package of 200 pictures for $20. There are shipping costs, but it is reasonable. They also ship fast.

We use snapfish and love it there cheap, great quality, and fast!! Good luck!

Why do you need a website to print them? Any photo software or even Windows picture/fax viewer can print photos. Just click on the photo and a program will open it. Then go to the menu where the print option is. If you have a digital camera it probably came with photo editing software, you can use that type of program if you like.

I use snapfish.com. You can either have them shipped to you or you can pick them up at Walgreens. They have great prices and the quality is awesome. They also give credits when you purchase a lot of pictures.

I use winkflash. I think I originally used them because I found a coupon in a parenting magazine. But I like the idea that I can store photos (in neatly organized files) so if my computer crashes, I have them online!

I use Shutterfly. They are great! You can find coupons for them at www.retailmenot.com

Costco...cheap, fast, good quality, lots of sizes

I use Flickr to store my digital images(in case my computer crashes), but I use CVS to print my pics. I upload to their site, then in a couple of hours I can pick them up from my local store - no shipping charges. They run a sell for 12 cents pics every so often. When they do, I print like crazy.

I've also printed moo cards (moo.com) and everybody is wowed by the mini cards. For Christmas, I printed an assortment of pix on the mini cards and on the back I put TO: From: The Kornis Family for our gift tags. Everyone loved the gift tags. You can use your pix from Flickr at Moo.

I personnally like shutterfly and I've been very happy with their service.
