I have always used Snapfish but recently I have been less than happy with the coloring and the quality.

Where do you all get digital prints from?

So far I've had good experiences with Shutterfly. I was able to prepay for 200 prints for $24. I decided that was a good deal because that was cheaper than my replacement of ink cartridges and it's also cheaper than the old fashioned way of development too!

I'm very pleased with Shutterfly too. And I'm practically addicted to their digital photo albums. They are simple to make, beautiful, include printing on the spine and the price is right. You'd pay more per page with traditional scrapbook paper, tapes, photo development and embellishments than Shutterfly's wonderful photo albums. They even have contributors from Creating Keepsakes magazine designing a few of their album choices.

This summer I earned over 400 FREE prints simply by placing digital photos on shutterfly's travel map and sharing my photo albums.

One more thing and I'll be done: take a look at shutterfly's choices to frame your photos (chosen while in enhance mode through edges). They're fantastic.

I've used Shutterfly since 2000 and have been VERY happy with them. I have tried others (Snapfish, Kodak, somebody else . . . ) but have always returned to Shutterfly.

I especially like that they offer unlimited free storage. It was a lifesaver a few years ago when we had a hard drive crash and many of my pictures were saved to their site.

I also like their picture albums. Easy to put together and they make great gifts. And I like how easy it is to share albums with friends and family.

Thanks so much!
I still have aquestion though!
Aren't shutterfly and snapfish done/owned by the same people? Seem like the same type of name, know what I mean?

Unless it's changed recently -- Shutterfly is owned/run by a small Silicon Valley company. Snapfish is owned by Hewlett Packard. They are competitors, and I believe Shutterfly was in the market first.

I have noticed definite differences in their quality and prefer Shutterfly.

Thanks Melanie! I think i'm gonna do the switch to them then. I keep putting it off, because all my pics are on snapfish and it's such a pain to switch them. . .

I really appreciate the recommendations!
