Where is the best place for printing out digital photos? I have taken them to Fujifilm Image Service in the past and ended up spending hundreds and getting pictures with the tops of heads cut off. ------------- |

i used to prefer to get mine printed at warehouse stationary, they were about the cheapest and i reckon best quality too, but they stopped doing them at the shop, didnt reckon it was getting used enough! arh! i was gutted. i go to a kodak shop now, pretty expensive and i dont like the quality of the photos either for some reason.... it pays to look around, i cant help you out with where to go.... sorry

take your memory card to camera house, and you can then print out the photos you want ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm no help, we cut to the chase and bought our own photo printer! Works out cheaper especially when you get the cartridge/paper combo packs on special...we get around 200 prints(6x4 size) and works out around 30-40 cents per print. (and all heads are intact!) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I go to the Warehouse too! And if you're only printing a couple then they often do them in 15 mins while you look around! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Another vote for www.tickle.co.nz - www.tickle.co.nz here... although, we do have a photo printer so we've only used tickle for extra stuff (like a calender we personalised and gave to my parents for christmas last year) ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I printed some out at The Warehouse in Glenfield today - it's a kodak booth thingee, however the image quality was only so-so and they were still 55c a print. Camera House was 60c a print and the one's that I had previously done there were pretty average.
I'm really liking the look of tickle though. Looks really good and I can load the piccies up in Takapuna if I get sick of using all of our broadband allowance... ------------- |

hubby just said that the reason the heads get chopped off is because the size of the file on a digital camera is different to a standard 4x6 pic, solution print them 4x5.5 (hubby works in kodak express) ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

ahhhh - with the kodak one I went to today there wasn't so much head chopping off as much as the photos themselves looked kind of strange. It was like they were freezeframed pictures of a screen or tv - they looked really digital. ------------- |

Ah ha ! Thanks Anna ! Digitalmax (online) is the one we use too, just couldn't remember what it was called - good prints, don't look too grainy or pixelated, and it's well worth paying the little extra for delivery - very prompt service overall. Cheap too ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater
