Where is the best place to print digital photos?

[sandyballs]

I was shocked to be charged 50p a photo in Boots.

snapfish have a 10 prints free offer IIRC 99p postage

A friend of mine always takes her to Asda. Think it's 10p a print and they are done while you do your shopping.

asda - 100 photos for a fiver - one hour processing

or it may be 50 for a fiver

i used asda before, 50 for a fiver, but i got matt finish not gloss .. maybe should have asked for gloss :S
Otherwise, when my dh can be bothered to take me, i prefer to go to costco and it's 7p per print

Photobox is brilliant - great quality prints and fast delivery

before you do have a look at the link I posted the other day. Panasonic are offering 50 free prints. I must get around to doing it myself as the offer runs out in March.

ANother vote for Photobox ... you can also store your photos on their site - rather than take up valuable space on your PC

Photobox looks good, but I've no idea how to download my photos onto PC . My home PC is knackered and I'm at work, not sure if I should do that here really. So might have to send my memory card somewhere, do Photobox do that?

dh is an IT man and he thoroughly recommends photobox - but its not really worthwhile doing it for 1 or 2 pictures, you get your moneys worth if you have a bigger bundle you want to print off

Photobox do accept photos by post - info here

Mind you I think rather than posting your memory card you would be better off going to a shop - Asda was recommended below. Use Photobox when your home PC is back up and running.

forgot to say - it's really simple to upload photos onto your PC - your camera should have come with a lead which plugs into the USB port in the back of your PC - the manual should give you simple instructions.

I might be a bit sad, but i printed two identical shots at photobox and snapfish and without a doubt the photobox were far better - sharper, brighter, cleaner, more elegant borders - MUCH better all round....

I have noticed that too! got some prints from Snapfish on the 1p per print special offer and they were rubbish. Will stick with Photobox from now on!!

All places other than my dh's small independent photo shop are c**p. Especially supermarkets.
But that's just my opinion.

Yeah, photobox does good quality prints, we use them a lot. If you are really seious about your image, you can also send them a colour profile.

The only thing I am not too impressed about is I have discovered they've put my public album available for sale to everyone. So if you don't want other people print your pictures, don't put them in the public album.

Carameli, I tried your link, ordered them, but once I went to checkout it was trying to charge me. I can't find out how to activate the offer.

My Dad had excellent ones at Tesco.

Jessops have alway been good. Tescos have got worse, used to been quite good but the last couple of lots I got from them were pretty rubbish. Jessops are the same price as well 100 for £7 (or they were a little while ago)

i use kodak as thats what my camera is and they are fab cant remember how much they are though

In places like asda and tesco can you take in a cd rom of photos and get them printed?

At asda they have machines where you can print from the memory card, a cd, a floppy disc (or they did in 2004) and a cd rom. Plus they have a scanner so if you have an old pic but no negative / file, you can scan it and print it off.
They're really cheap too.
I either take mine to Boots (they get cheaper the more you have) so I can my advantage card points, or Asda as my mum works there.

My Snapfish ones were fantastic quality! I can't (for some reason) upload to Photobox so don't use them.

Thanks
