Totally OT - Prints made from digital images?

An employee returned from a trip to Alaska and her camera's card (or whatever it is) is too old to use at Walmarts or wherever folks go for this kind of thing. I can access all her photos on my computer and in the way past I have used different sites to have digital images made into slides. She just wants prints made.

Suggestions for a quick and reasonable site to have prints made? Thanks. Amanda
 
Well, the quickest and cheapest is to print them at home, of course. Aside from that option, the two online sources I use most often are Walmart's Digital Photo Center and Overnight Prints.

Walmart was the cheapest, if I remember correctly, but one of my many orders from them (for a poster-sized print) took an ungodly amount of time to get here. I use them to get blow-ups for display photos at our museum.
 
Unless your printer uses super cheap ink, I find it much cheaper to print at Walmart or Costco. You can download the photos from your computer and send them electronically. It is super easy to do and usually my prints are done within hours.
 
Download the photos onto a cd and take them to Walmart or wherever that way. I like doing my own editing, and that way she or you can do it.
 
ditto Snapfish.com.
They can send the images directly to a photo processor near you and you can pick them up there. I've always received very good prints, not expensive.
 
I agree walmart or walgreens is the cheapest. They have a machine at kinko's as well. You can even upload the photos and then go pick em up

It gets expensive on the home printer, and if you don't have the right printer they can turn out not so good.
 
well if you dont mind waiting about 5 days i use clark color

www.clarkcolor.com

They have the BEST quality over any hour photo or walmart, and are 8 cents a picutre... cheaper than walmart.

My SIL is a SERIUOS scrapbooker and she only goes to a local shop for her prints and i showed her some of my photos and she now uses clark.... you have to upload the pictures from your pc or memory card online, or if it is on a roll you mail it directly to them..... thaey also have fun projects almost like scrap booking where you can put all the photos in a themed book with captions for about $20 bucks... I love them great for special vacations and such and the pictures are printed on the page so you dont have to worry about children stealing them (but I would order hard copied too :-) )

check them out if you don't mind a little wait oh and new users get 20 free prints and if you refer friends and they join and buy you get more free prints... im notafter that so thats why I am not telling you my clark name, I just stand by them from 3 years of personal and trusted experience! :-)

I don't even have a drive for a 3" floppy any more.

As part of my last computer upgrade, I asked for a component that could read those old floppies and they sold me a smallish 4" wide x 5.25" deep x .75" high unit that just plugs into one of the USB ports on my computer. Very compact and works well, so if you have a lot of old floppies you may want to get that instead. This one is a TEAC external floppy disk drive unit model #FD-05PUW. Someone is apparently selling a new one on eBay for $16.99
