I cannot have my trip photos printed at walmart....they chop off my photos since their machines cannot handle the digital size.

I noticed that Snapfish CAN do the digital size...for about 8 or 9 cents/print

And, Creative memories photo center will do it for 19 cents.....which is okay with me, since it is the same price as Walmart

....I trust CM...but I have never seen the quality of snapfish's photos. Can anyone tell me how they turn out, if you have experience with them?

Also, for those of you who do not print them yourselves (which I will NOT), where do you have them printed, in the digital size?

I hope I am making sense....it is really late here.

Goodnight!

How about Costco? I've used them once, but my mother uses them frequently...same with Target. Apparently you can get your prints from Shutterfly printed at Target too so you don't have to pay shipping.

I love Snapfish. That is the only way I develop my film, since I don't have to go anywhere to drop it off. They will give you a free trial, and all you have to pay for is the shipping. Then you can test it out. There should be something on the website, or I can send it to your email if you PM me.

Chari -
Don't know if you're using a PC or a mac, so I just thought I'd mention another option in case you use a mac. I print from Apple directly from iphoto. It has been sooooo easy. The prices were comparable. I didn't have to go anywhere, and 2 days later the pics arrived in my mailbox. If you're using iphoto it couldn't be easier, you just click order prints from the bottom of iphoto. Don't know if this is applicable or not to you - so just ignore me if you're using a PC.

Not to pick on them but I did have some trouble with Snapfish prints in the past. When using film. There were dust spots and also some lines on the prints. Once some color issues. I still use them occasionally(as they gave me more free prints for my troubles)but not for the high quality things I need. I go to my local camera shop.
Sorry Snapfish lovers. I did LOVE them for awhile....

You can get them done by snapfish but pick them up locally now. Their price is pretty cheap....9 cents per picture. I like Snapfish. I have them printed out with matte finish rather than glossy. In my experience, they have turned out great and i have not been disappointed.

Are you on dial up?
We use Costco and I have been very pleased with them. We use them for our annual calendar and one of the presents I got Jim for Christmas was a poster of pictures of the kids. I upload the pictures to them, and then click on the ones I want printed.

I use Target's photo - thru a Kodak gallery account. I ordered 50 of the our family Christmas picture and went and picked them up an hour later! They're so nice there and make it as reasonable as they can (I'm always getting coupons etc).

I haven't done their mail service yet, but will as I got a "free mug" when I signed up and that can only be done by mail....

Just another option ....

I appreciate everyone's comments (no mac here, but thanks, jennifer!).......

I just need to make sure that you understand.....in regards to the prints the must be able to be printed in the DIGITAL size....

I guess I will try snapfish, and pray that I get to avoid the problems Anne had....(what are you using now?)

I DO have dial-up....so, I cannot even begin to do this from home......I have to save them to a flash drive and take them to a friend's house to send to snapfish. I brought some to do that at my sister's house while I am here. They say we will never get DSL where I live.....I am trying to be good and accept my lot in life

...but it can be a pain

So, does Target do them in the DIGITAL size, or Costco?

I live one to 1.5 hrs from either of those....and the soonest we get to costco is once every 6 weeks.....and to target, almost never....but, I will do it for digital prints. I can get to wlamart 40 min away and so that one would be so much easier, but they chop off the edges of my pictures when they stretch them to fit the 4x6 size. I want my WHOLE picture.....that is why I took it! I have about 3000 photos to be developed, and I want to see them all in their full beauty....without the boy over 6 foot missing the top of his head in every photo

one last question about Snapfish....do you think their quality will last about 100 yrs....that's my goal

.....can anyone compare them to the quality at Wal mart?

Thanks, ladies!

I don't know what size digital prints are

, is it different from 4x6, etc? Are you talking about the mega pixels?

I am not sure how to quote, but the few times I have had problems with Snapfish, they reprinted everything for no cost.

Chari, I have been using Snapfish for a few years now, and though it has been years, it hasn't been 100!

I am not sure how to compare it!

I like Shutterfly.
About the same price as Snapfish, but I find you can make digital albums that are more user friendly for others if you choose to share.
