Adding Color Back
July 16th, 2006 @ 1:11 am CST, 133 words by Evan BroderSo, since I can’t manage to print decent photos myself, I’m going to try experimentation.
I just sent my canal photo off to Flickr, Kodak (via iPhoto), Shutterfly, Club Photo, Sony ImageStation, and Snapfish and requested at least one (and in some cases two) copies from each. They should all arrive within the next week, and hopefully at least one of them will look the way I want.
For those that are curious, Snapfish was the cheapest, but that’s mostly because you get 20 free 4×6 prints with a new account.
Does anyone else have experience with online photo printing services? CNET ran a review, but didn’t provide much information, especially about color, which I’m particularly interested in (I’m willing to assume that most of the printers will use decent quality paper and all that jazz).

Have you just tried going to Wolf camera and printing it there? Go to the on on West end, not the one in Green Hills.

I could do that, and I could do it at Costco too. I’m just experimenting for the same of amusement. If none of the services I ordered from come out like I want, I’ll start going to bricks and mortar stores.

Also, if online prints work out, I can order those from anywhere, and while it’s likely that photo printing stores have the same processing techniques everywhere, I can feel more confident in what I’m getting if I always order from the same place.
