prints from digital images

I think anyone who has paid over $100 for a photo printer is crazy.
There are the hidden costs of the paper and especially the ink in home digital printing which far outway getting them printed either through a online vendor or taking a cd with the photos to a loblaws/maxi/metro. for around $19 cents a image.

I would never ever get my photos printed at walmart since it is so heavily used they often do not replace the ink or whatever they use until it is quite noticable plus the lineups for walmart is crazy...

Make sure you burn your images to be printed on a dvd-rw don't give them a flash card as you don't want it to get damaged. Better yet use a local online printer where you can upload your images and have them deliver to your local supermarket. I did this with metro's metro.ca printer(maybe photolab like loblaw?) and was very impressed.

For printing 4x6 images my kodak 2 megapixel dc280 is just fine.
The price of digital cameras and flash cards has gone way down size i bought my camera, it will be awhile until i can afford a nicer new digital slr.
