Best and cheapest way/place to get digital photos printed?

grumpydee

Have always printed my digital photos on my home printer but finding it very expensive as it uses a lot of ink and 7x5 paper isnt cheap.

What are my alternatives?

Would like to find an easy straightforward way that gives quality prints at a decent price. Anyone have any good suggestions?

"Best" and "cheapest" do not go together !
I would select half a dozen different on line printers and send them all the same photo to print. You can then compare quality of print with price paid and decide which offers best value (not the same as "cheapest")

See who has the best deal and maybe wait to see if anyone posts sites to avoid

Which printer do you use, and do you use compatible inks?

I've used Snapmad several times and have found them superb quality and great value. Postage is free with a relatively small order value (£2 or so) and service is fast. They also do canvases at very good prices.

Been using foto.com, simply chosen because they take Paypal, no need to spread card details further around. Happy with them, OK for small orders. They have dipsatch from multiple countries too.
