Cheap photo printing

I have about 2200 photos to print. I need them at least 6x4 and the cheapest online place I've found charges 5p per print - that works out at £110 without p+p. Does anybody know of anywhere cheaper??

    5p per print is good - Boots' best price is 6p and that is for 150 prints or more.

    why do you want to print them...just stick them on a dvd and view them in your dvd player on your tv...:D

    Plans for 2009

    Paper photos are great!

    How many times have you tried to install or run something off and old cd/dvd you have burnt and it does not work? Sure you get the more expensive ones that last 75 years - if stored in cooled, light free room, that is temperature controlled.

    The etched ones last longer, but those chemicals on writable CD's/DVD's are even decomposing while you are reading this :)
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)

    I always recommend:

    www.photobox.co.uk

    for quality and speed. And for 500+ prints it's 4p per print.

  • Hello, I'm a newbie & couldn't figure out how to post a new thread - clearly technology is not a strength which is why I've stuck to this one!:confused:
    Does anyone have any advice for good quality photo printing options please?
    Ta very much :grin:
  • I went to a friend's office and used the printer there.

    Or just click on the big blue button at the top left marked new thread. It looks the same as the Post reply button and is in a similar place.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
