Price War Rages Over Photo Prints
Posted by James Fee in "NEWS" @ 05:00 AM
"With the holiday shopping season now in swing, it's prime time for photo-processing services to handle cards, calendars and end-of-the-year prints that people stick in envelopes with holiday cards. Which is why online photofinishers and retail developing firms are now trumpeting huge savings. The price of a 4-by-6 print, around 49 cents two years ago, is down to 19 cents at many top online sites, including Yahoo Photos, Snapfish and Sony ImageStation. Shoppers can find even lower prices at such online discounters as Winkflash and Clark Color Labs. Prices at national photofinishers are somewhat higher: from 29 cents a print at Walgreens, Target and Ritz Camera Centers to 34 cents at CVS stores."
Honestly I can't print my photos at home anymore with these prices. A CVS just opened down the street offering 19 cent prints. 8) At that price, I might just as well turn my photo printer in for a B&W laser.
Where are Digital Media Thoughts readers sending their prints out, or do you still prefer to print at home?
