Online Photo Printing
Having moved from being someone who used to film cameras exclusively to someone who now uses both digital and film, I have found that I’m confused as to what is the best way to get my prints. When I take film pictures the choice is easy enough. I go to my local photo developer and get the prints done, as well as getting copies of those prints on a CD so I can share them online. When it comes to my digital photos however, I have more options if I want to make prints. I can go with online photo printing, or I could use a kiosk at my local film store.
If you have a photo program like mine, online photo printing should be rather easy for you. My camera uploads my photos directly to a Kodak website. I can then share my photos with friends and family if I wish, or I can order prints. You don’t have to have a Kodak camera to take advantage of online photo printing however. All you have to do is upload your shots to a site like Shutterfly and your prints will be mailed to you. All you have to do is select what prints you want, what sizes you want, and then enter your credit card information.
What I don’t know is which of the online photo printing sites is the best. I have only ever ordered them from one site, so I have nothing to compare them to. I do know that they are comparable in quality to the once I get out of the kiosk at my local store. If you aren’t sure which online photo printing site you want to go with, you may want to try a few out to see which is the best. You can do this by ordering just a few prints from each one and then comparing them side by side when they come to you in the mail.
When you do this comparison of online photo printing sites, make sure you order are the exact same print from each site. If you use the exact same print you will be able to lay the photos next to each other. You will be able to pick out the better qualities of each photo, and that will help you decide which one is the best. If you were to use different photographs when comparing online photo printing sites, you will make it harder to choose which one has the better quality. If you don’t want to go to all that trouble, you may want to look for online reviews of the many online photo printing services out there. You may be able to make your decision from reviews by those who have already used each service.
