Printing digital photos?

[Akzle]

never done it before... I have 200 odd digital photos i want printed as 4x6"
where is cheapest? Is there anything i need to know about inks etc (how long before they fade?)
i've put them on a usb stick... Now what?

It may be lower cost to have them printed at a photo lab and the quality is vastly better than from an ink jet printer. Try Harvey norman for price.

yea cheapest option is usually store, Snapfish (http://www.snapfish.co.nz) is supposed to be pretty good, then there's FrogPrint (http://www.frogprints.co.nz/), Harvey Normans (http://www.harveynormanphotos.co.nz), Digital Photo Printing (http://www.digitalphotoprinting.co.nz/)

Generally just troll Googleys (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=digital+photo+print+new+zealand) for cheapest price

buy your own cheap printer that will print photo size paper to edges, photo paper and print your own

Printers are cheap but replacement ink cartridges more than make up for that, and new printers usually are supplied with half-full "starter" cartridges.

sure right there about new printers with small cartridges when supplied new... you need to price around for cartridges and better to get a printer with seperate colour cartridges then one for colour

Wander your way into Harvey Norman or the big red shed (assuming they do photo printing), bung your usb stick in the front of the machine, select all and set it going. Will take a while for 200 pics though.

I go down to the local Officeworks....costs about 6c a print!

yarrrgh. it ended up being hardly normal. 19c a print for every dick. 16c each if you're "VIP"
signing up to VIP costs 10$. i did that. ~20 minutes to print. and the blondie at the counter wasn't hard to look at either...:drool:

te ware whare was 29c/each

f*CK... 6c/print... holly shirt!
o well. there next time. if we even have an officeworks up here :S

i think their computers do some funny shit - color balancing etc. washed out a few of my pics. put detail where i didn't want it. all in, not too bad. (especially since many were taken on my phone!! ><)

i wonder what happened to all the chemists, photos used to take a week. there was anticipation and shit.. they've ruined the experience.

but HN had the olympus OM-Ds:drool::drool:

then i went fishing. so i'm having smoked kahawai for tea.
i like to kill and eat things.

it's been a productive day. (dear diary... -_^ )
