I was at walgreens ordering up prints from digital SLR. I was told it would take a whole day to print my photos. I had used the one in walmart a few times and I was expecting it to print them on the spot. Pissed me off a little bit and I said ok walgreens piss of I’ll go online.

I knew flickr offered print in some fashion so I checked it out. They offer printing with QOOP. They are out of Texas. I just had to selecting which flickr pics I wanted printed and choosing a size and finish Then the site told me it would take 3 to 4 days to process then 6 to 9 days for ground shipping. I’m thinking ok lets give tis a try. Sounds like a long time but maybe its not such a big deal. I haveto say the price was perfect about 20 cents a print including shipping. I ordered them on Mon or Tues and the got to my door on Friday. Thats fucking amazing. It puts a big smile on my face every time I can do another mundane task online instead of running out and wasting all that “drive time”

Also the prints were on Fuji paper and excellent quality. Colors were as close as I could have imagined to my photoshop post processed photos.

I also want to mention that most of the consumer photo printer you can buy are junk. I have yet to see a consumer photo pinter that prints anything close to a good commercial print. Yet another way to sell ink. The cost is about the same 20 cents a print
