Where to print pictures?

Hey guys,
I am a new autograph collecter and I wanted to ask where you guys print your pictures to send out? I prefer 4x6's as they fit in smaller envelopes. I am a student so I can't afford anything too expensive.
Thanks for the help

I also send 4x6s and recommend Snapfish. Join their email list because they send out coupon/ discount codes all the time. I rarely pay full price and often get free shipping on top.
Most of the photo printing websites offer x amount of free prints so you could go that route, cycle round until you've tried them all.

We use Lidl Photo to get our 7 x 5 prints at 10p each. Lidl also often do discounts and offers and you can upload and edit your photo's direct from their free software.

If you're in the UK look for dscolorlabs, excellent results every time.
Make sure you're using high resolution images for the size you want printed too.

That's really cheap. I have been paying 30p for 8 x 6 St my local digital photo shop.

I just bought a cheap canon photo printer and I print my own...This way I can print anything anytime on the spot and I can choose the quality of photo paper I want to buy ....

Is the quality really good as from a digital camera shop?
And can you print photos in lustre? I always ask for lustre as it's easier for the celebs to write on as glossy can smudge more.

Can buy diff photo paper and choose lots of diff printing options ....There is no smudge issues unless they use silver sharpie which most don't if you have a light background ....I just like to be able to print my own pics .

The photo quality is much better than from a shop actually ...
