Now that printers cost real money.... - Instead of costing $50 piece like before, it isn't hard to spend $300- $400 on an ink jet. So why are we still being RAPED on ink cost by the mfgs? Do you know that the cost of ink in some cases is as much as gold? By weight that is. It takes about 10.

But the Walgreen's around here won;t print what you send them.
It's impossible. They apply "levels" to the image so that it runs from
0 to 255 intensity.
CVS will print what you send, but the nearest store has a printer
that screws around with yellows! The farthest CVS will print what you
send, and turn out OK.
What a pain.

I have an Epson Stylus pro 5000 since 6 years. OK it was a $3800 deal,
but it has probably printed more than half a ton of excellent
photographic quality DIN A3 documents, without clogging. It still has
the same printing head. I needed to changs the exceeding ink swamp
twice. The first time it was exchanged for free the second time it
costed $120 with labour.
The ink (overdated, don't mind) sells on Ebay for <5$ and a cartridge
has 300mL.

I tried a couple of different places, and found that one particular
Walgreen's - which happens to be close to me - does a very good job.
The only complaint I have is that they crop images even though I send
them sized to 4 x 6. I'm used to what they do now, and I compensate
for it in my preparation.
I did get one bad batch, but they redid them for free and they turned
out fine.
We send a lot of family snaps to relatives with two young
grandchildren. I print our copies, and send out relative's copies.

Why didn't you upload the pictures to a Danish printer? >> Stay informed about: Wax-Based Printers? |

Several reasons. I like to see the prints. I wanted to present them
in an album. I included some handwritten notes. I don't know the
neighborhoods well enough to know how convenient any shop over there
is. And, mostly, it doesn't seem very classy to say "Here's some pix.
You go get 'em."
If the easiest and cheapest alternative was a consideration, I could
have uploaded them and him view online or print them himself.
For $13, I'll pop for postage.
