Hi fellow photographers!

  • Do you render your digital pictures on paper (print)?

  • Do you use a printer in the home for it?

  • What printer do you use?

  • What printer would you recommend with cost vs quality in mind? (8.5 x 11 prints would be fine)

  • Do you send your pictures to a commercial printer?

  • Do you goto the nearest Staples or Walmart and use the printers there?

Thanks for your detailed reply!

We have CVS locally but I don't remember them doing photo-printing. We also have staples, and they have a corner of their store for copy/fax/printing, I think. Were you just describing Meijer or should I stay away from Walmart for this sort of thing?

No problem!

On Google maps, "CVS photo" will turn up if you search for it. I suspect staples can do photos too, I just haven't used them.

As for Meijer vs Walmart, we haven't set foot in a Walmart since we moved to the Midwest - not that we were doing that frequently before we moved here. I have no experience one way or the other with Walmart photo, but suspect most retail locations are probably fairly comparable. The market doesn't seem that big anymore, so they might even be running similar equipment behind their branding.
