Guest bellagirl Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I just posted some LOs to a site suggested in one of my scrap magazines as a place to go to print LOs. When I went to print them they were over $5.00 a page. I declined until I get some input on that one. This seemed a little pricey. I hope to get a printer soon but I wanted to get some of them printed in the meantime. Is this the going price, if so my DH will walk to the nearest Best Buy before morning.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betsy Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 You can get LOs printed for $1.99 at Costco for 8x10, or $2.99 for 12x12 (actually 13x19 trimmed down). I print at home on my borderless 8.5x11" printer, and that has worked very well for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisThao Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I also print at home using my Epson R200. I use photo paper with a satin finish, and the colors come out beautifully. I'm very happy with the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NightOwl Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Alyssa was so excited to get some of her LO's printed in living techo colour that she took 3 of them to the printers. Prices vary but she got 3 done at $5.00 each...to get them done individually would have cost $8.00 each. This is Australian Dollars. The all turned out beautifully and the results could not have been more pleasing!!! If it wasn't for the fact that the pages aren't bulky I would never have picked them as having been done digitally.

Crueltyfre/Lori Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I've been using [url="http://sbtoshare.com/"]Scrapbooks to Share[/url] and it's less than $2 per page with shipping to me (US). They have a great deal where they'll send you three copies of a layout for free, one on each type of paper they have, so you can tell what you like. I've had no complaints so far.

Guest LauraLynn Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I've been changing the size of my LO's to 8x10 so I could either print them at home on my Epson Stylus Photo R300 or burn to disc and take them to Walmart for $1.89 per 8x10. Since I am able to adjust brightness and color at home on my PC, they turned out great at Walmart ... probably cheaper than printing at home too in the long run LOL! I am used to 8x10 size though as I used to be a photographer.... I may eventually go over to 12x12..... Wow Lori I just checked out their prices! I will be checking them out for printing for when I'm willing to wait...and may go to 12x12 now too !! (it was the price of printing those large ones that kept me from going there!)

Laura[/quote] Aren't those prices amazing? I don't see any reason to buy a printer and do it myself with them around. I'm in the same state as they are so even with shipping it's still under $2 a page. And they are very quick...within about three-four days of uploading my zips I have a box in my hand.

Laura[/quote] This sounds like a great idea, the only problem is we live in a small roural area and the nearest wallmart is 1 hour away but it is do-able. I just hope i get a printer this week.

Guest lisaedson Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I live in the UK so I don't think it will be much help to you, but it may be to another UK resident - I get mine printed out by PhotoBox but sometimes I just print them out on my printer, as it's a really good one, a Canon (although not a wide format one!) and I use Canon Photo Paper as I find it is the best for my printer - I experimented a lot with different brands until I found the one I liked the most.
