Picture printing question

[innerslytherin]

Question for you all: Where do you get your pictures printed?

If you print them yourself, I don't need to know that. LOL I usually do, but I have a lot of pictures I want to print quickly, and frankly I hate going through the process of trimming each one. I don't have a photo printer, just a regular one that prints four 4x6 to the sheet.

So. Given that I'm lazy at the moment, where do y'all print your pictures? Photobucket's partner (Meeb? Can't remember)? Target? CVS? Walgreens? Let me know.

I'm interested in how much it is per print as well as your satisfaction with the quality. I'm thinking glossy if it makes a difference on the finish.

It's frustrating to me that EVERY place that I look at online wants me to upload my pictures before they quote a price at me. Come on, just tell me brackets! If I print 260 pictures (doubles of 130 actually), how much is it gonna cost me?

Bummer, I need a membership there, don't I?

Yeah, fraid so. :( I tried Target at once point but it was kind of a pain.

Target or Acme. It's typically around 29 cents per print, with a discount after a certain number of prints (can't recall off the top of my head). I'm generally satisfied with the finish and quality at both places.

Thanks! :)

I've used both Target and Walgreens. With Walgreens, you can order prints online, but I think Target has a better quality.

*nods* I used to get all my real film developed at Target.

I use Shutterfly.com and either have them shipped directly to my house, or send them to a nearby Target to pick up. I like the quality better when sent directly from Shutterfly, but Target is the best in-store that I've found. (I've used WalMart, Wal-Greens, CVS, and SAM'S, just to compare.)

AND if you open a new account you get free 4x6 prints (usually). Slickdeals.net usually has really good info on specials on Shutterfly.

Oh cool! Target seems to be a popular in-store place. I'll check out the stuff to be shipped, too.

At the Target I work at prints are $.20 a picture, a "sale" that's been going on for quite some time and I'm pretty sure is Target wide. You can use Shutterfly or Photobucket and send pictures right to Target, and then use the Kodac kiosks to print them out right there. Very fast, and good quality.

I'm not sure about doubles, since I've never been trained for Photo, but if you go to your Target who ever is working at Photo could answer your question for you.

Ooooh, cool! That's a good price. And I always used to take my real film to Target. It's just that since I went mostly digital, I usually print all my own. But I'm just not up to printing and trimming 260 pictures right now. LOL
