Getting 4x6 Glossy Prints from Digital Camera


I've started using my new digital camera and don't know how to obtain 4x6 prints of the images I've obtained. What is the most economical way to get prints? Do I have to mail my SmartMedia card away or can I send the images through email?

  I don't do digital but you might check out Ofoto online. I think they can help you.

  You can print them from your computer, with the software that comes with the camera ( most digital cameras come with the needed software). The quality of the print will be based on the printers ability and the cameras ability i.e. resolution, dpi, etc. You can also use imaging software other then what you got with the camera. Although I use film cameras most of the time, I do have - and use often - a nice digital camera. You can purchase photo paper for your printer in glossy as well as matte. I must confess, I get incredible photos from my digital set up printed thru my PC and printer.

  Nothing comes equal to a Photo lab digital printer when printing digital camera images. You might get images just like what you would possibly get from a transparency. Get your touch up done on your images - crop, squeeze, sharpen, wrap add your name and date things like that. Then make the image in 4x6 size and then store it either as JPEG (where you can store more) or TIFF (store less but without loss) files. Copy to a floppy or a removable drive. Carry it to a digital colour lab, ask them to arrange it their convenience and take print out on either matte, glossy or silk... as simple as that.. with less price on ink cartridges and papers...

  I have one word - Ofoto.com. They are the best. My favorite software when printing at home si MGI PhotSuite 4 and Printmaster Publishing Suite. I have even arranged photo pages in Microsoft Publisher. I print out at home on my Epson 740 with great results. A good quality printer these days can run about $100.00

  I use an HP 950c printer from home which has the ability to print 6x4 photos. I use MGI photosuite to manipulate the images, and the HP printer to print them. They look great.You can buy the paper online at resonable rates, around 6.00 in the UK for 20 sheets.
Regards John
