12/15/2017 How to print photos using online servicesOnce you have the scans of your photo print, album pictures, negatives or slides, it is very easy to generate new photo prints from those scans. Several different national businesses with local outlets provide online services for printing photos using state of the art machines. You can also go to the retail store and hand them your USB stick and they will print them for you. Although it is easier to make a sub-selection of the prints you want from all of you scans if you do this through their online interface, it is also possible to do this at the store.
Here is a list of such three such businesses in the New England area and websites you can go to for their photo services. Contrary to what you might think, for photos up to 8"x10" the equipment used by these retail stores is as good as used by professional color labs on the Internet, and the nice thing is that your prints will be printed at the local retail store, not at some centralized location. You normally can pickup your order within one or two hours. If when you go to pick up your prints you are not satisfied, you have the ability to get them to correct any mistakes they have made -- although in our experience, this is rare. Although we give both the homepage of the photo site and, for your convenience, the area of the website to go for photo prints, we recommend that you take a look at the homepage for any specials they offer. Usually they discount the price of photo prints on the homepage but frequently fail to repeat the discount on the photo print page.
Once you decide which local online photo printing store you want to use, just take the USB stick on which we have delivered your photo scans and upload the scans to the photo printing service. Within an hour or so, your prints will be ready to pickup. Of course, we are willing to do this for you, but we will have to charge you for our time taken to interact with the photo printing service. The cost of having us do this for you will often cost more than the prints themselves. But, again, we are willing to do this for you. Comments are closed.
