Where do you get your insert photos?

Unread post by Olive08 »

I wondered where the majority got their photos. I personally print mine on photo paper, does anyone buy them from professionals or print them at Walmart/Walgreens?

I print them on photo paper at home. I tried printing at Walmart one time, but they wouldn't give me my photos since they were offline and copyrighted.

I print my photos at Walgreens. I use to print them at home, but the ink cartridges for my printer are so small that they run out of ink fast. Lol.

I have been getting my photos from Google Images, adjusting in Photoshop, save them to a flash drive, and then print them off as an 8 1/2 x 11 picture on glossy paper at Office Max.

I'm pretty new to Fanmail.biz, so I just sent off my first batch of requests with photos and SASEs yesterday. However, I did send several LOR only with SASE about a week and a half ago and already received photo responses (which I'll be loading shortly) from Rose Marie ("The Dick Van Dyke Show") and Casey Kasem.

Hi,

Im from [germany] , we have a lot of stores that offer to print pictures in various sizes (I guess thats what they have at Walgreens/Ive been in the US for the past year and Walgreens offered the same service. Its the most effective, fastest and best look way in my opinion.

A couple WalMarts near by where I live let me print out photos. Some WalMart won't. I usually do 8x10 or 5x7, which cost like 3 and 1.50 bucks each. I wonder if buying a photo printer + ink + photo paper is cheaper. Anybody has any suggestion?

I find that printing them at home isn't as good quality and can cost to get the best quality. I usually go to my ASDA and print instantly. I've personally had no problems thus far. But there is a copy right law, even if you have photos done by a professional of you and/or your family and you don't have the copy right disclaimer from them you can produce a copy, even though you bought and own them.

Most of the time I order prints from Snapfish -- and occasionally I will send a DVD insert. If you prepay for a couple of dozen 4x6 or 5x7 prints, you only have to pay S&H (and applicable tax) when you order them.
