Printing at Home
The most expensive option.
- Some cameras transfer pictures directly to the printer (no printer in between).
- Read reviews to find a good photoprinter.
- For good prints you need: photoprinter, not a regular color inkjet. High quality paper, not copier paper
Printing at a Kiosk Lab or Online Photo Service
- Probably the least expensive option.
- Take your storage media and insert into the machine, follow the directions.
- Images can be uploaded online, stored, and prints ordered with pickup or delivery
- These services usually also offer online photo sharing
