Prints from slides and old photos

Does anyone know who offers a good economical way to get:


1. photo prints from old photos
2. photo prints from old 35mm slides


I am happy to do via post, but cannot find anyone who does both at a reasonable price! I have about 15 of each to get copied for other family members.


Many thanks

    Do you have a scanner, or have a friend who has a scanner you could borrow? The photos could be scanned and printed out on a home printer - you can get special paper to print photos on if you want to do them "properly" iyswim.

    No ideas re the slides, I'm afraid.

    You could try emailing local professional photographers. I would looking at ones that have been in the business for years as they might have all the old film equipment for scanning.

    Google gave me this website: http://www.pixave.co.uk/slide-scanning-service I have no affiliation with them, have not used them so dont treat this as a recommendation!

    My mum used their slide projector to project the slides onto a plain white wall and my brother took photos of the images, then printed those and they came out pretty well. Does depend on the quality of your camera and wall, mind you!
